Major Salford development set for approval with new apartments planned in city

Plans for 185 new apartments in Salford’s city centre are moving forward, centred around a green courtyard at the Farmer Norton car park site near Adelphi Street and Peru Street.

The council has recommended approval for this second phase, which would include mostly one and two-bedroom flats but no designated affordable housing due to financial constraints. The first phase will deliver 42 townhouses, also marketed at full price, raising concerns about affordability amid increasing homelessness in the area. Salford council is working to address the homelessness crisis, which has worsened recently, with figures showing a rise in cases and children in temporary accommodation.
