A 21-storey tower block with 58 apartments, ground floor officers and shops is planned for Stretford. The outline planning application is for 550 square metres of land near White City Retail Park.
It seeks permission for two four-bed duplex apartments, 18 three-bed, 34 two-bed and two one-bed flats at the corner of Talbot Road, Chester Road and Stretford Road where a derelict fireplace showroom currently stands.
A design and access statement by Tang & Associates Chartered Architects describes the area as "a prominent feature site in need of a prominent feature development". "This ensures the site also has great connections to Salford Quays, Manchester City Centre and the M60 motorway and beyond," it says.
