Description

An opportunity to acquire two cleared development sites extending to approximately 3.46 acres (1.4 hectares) in an
established residential area within Salford. The area has witnessed a housing renaissance in recent years and the sites are considered suitable for residential development, subject to obtaining the relevant planning consent.
Located off Liverpool Street the sites sit at the heart of the community, located within a 2 minute walk of the newly
regenerated Langworthy Road Neighbourhood Centre and adjacent to the new Willow Tree Primary School. The highly successful Chimney Pot Park is sited directly across Langworthy road to the
east.
The area to the north of the western site, between the site boundary and Greenland Street has been reserved for a future
expansion of Willow Tree Primary School. Therefore the design and layout of any scheme should take this, and that part of
Greenland street will be stopped up to enable the expansion, into consideration. The internal roadways within site remain adopted highways. The principle of stopping up the roads is acceptable provided that access to the retained properties on the periphery of the development area is not comprised and that any live / operable plant within the highway to be stopped up is either diverted or easements put in place to maintain access. The sites historically accommodated numerous terraced dwellings which have been demolished. As part of the demolition all foundations and floor slabs were removed with any cellar area cleared of all debris and backed filled with clean brick and hardcore and compacted in 600mm layers. Redundant drainage runs were isolated and sealed with concrete in the appropriate inspection chamber.

Development Requirements And Vision

The area has witnessed significant regeneration during recent years aided by the Housing Renewal Initiative which has strengthened the community spirit across the area. Any development of the sites should capture this spirit and complement surrounding uses. Interested parties should be aware that the City Council has submitted a bid for hra funding on various sites across the city to deliver 100 new residential units. If successful it is planned for 17 of these units to be provided and purchased from the developer of this site. It is proposed that the tenure of the 17 units will be split equally between shared ownership; affordable rent and social rented units. The units will be built to National Space standard as a minimum Building Regulations Band M, M4(2):Category 2: Accessible and adaptable dwellings, with the form of units and number of bedrooms to be agreed with the Council.
If the hra bid is unsuccessful the Council will require 30% of the scheme to be delivered as Affordable Housing, subject to
the tenure split detailed above, in conjunction with a Registered Provider, such provider to be agreed between the Council and preferred bidder. The City Council would also wish to discuss with the preferred bidder for the site, if appropriate, the hra bid sites and other housing projects the City Council is currently working on. This would be conducted, without prejudice, on a 1:1 basis.

Development Requirements And Vision

Development proposals should also give consideration to the following:
> Community led development the City Council will require the provision of 5 units with the Council or its chosen
nominee having the right of pre-emption. These units will be acquired from the preferred bidder linked to a Homes England
Community Led Development bid. If that bid is not successful this requirement will fall away. > Quality of design and energy efficiency / low carbon development which the City views with some importance as evidenced by the bid assessment weighting > That owner occupation is the preferred tenure > Consideration as to whether an element of the scheme could provide housing such as bungalows for the elderly or disabled. > Bids should reflect the City Councils social values as per the
Mayor's social charter

Tenure

The two sites are offered as a single lot on a 250 year long leasehold interest at a fixed nominal rent. A premium is sought for
the long leasehold interest.

Planning

Salford City Council has acquired all titles within the sites and has amalgamated them into two titles, save for 4 interests which
are being compulsory purchased with a General vesting order having been granted on these interests. This will be completed and incorporated into our title prior to the preferred developer commencing on site. It is expected that any proposal will be fully compliant with all planning obligations as per Salford City Council's supplementary planning document. Interested parties are strongly advised to seek planning advice from Salford City Council's Development Control Service at: Urban Vision, Civic Centre, Chorley road, Swinton, M27 5AS. Planning enquiries by email should be made to: Planning.
