Plans have been submitted to Salford City Council for a new development of 100 ‘high-quality, affordable and sustainable’ apartments.

Construction on the one- and two-bedroom low-energy apartments is expected to start early next year.

The development is part of a £2.5bn regeneration project which is a collaboration between the council and Salford University.

The partnership was set up in 2001 to bring the public and private sector together to 'transform urban areas and create exceptional new places.'

The buildings will be designed to reduce energy bills by up to 90% according to Passivhaus principles.

City mayor Paul Dennett said: ‘This application is another step forward in the partnership’s bold vision for transforming Salford Crescent and creating a new district to work, live and play.

‘The inclusion of affordable housing which also considers energy costs is crucial to tackling the national housing shortage, the cost of living crisis and climate change and this scheme supports our ambition to create more affordable homes in Salford to help local people.

‘I will follow the progress of this application with interest.’
