Three Manchester developments have been given the green light by the council's planning committee this month including two in the city centre. A 10-storey aparthotel and a five-storey block of flats in the Northern Quarter are among the plans approved, alongside new affordable housing at Disbury Point.
Plans for the 117-room aparthotel will see the former United Footwear store in Oldham Street and a warehouse behind it in Spear Street brought 'back to life', according to developer Jadebricks. Dubbed Larard's Still, the scheme will offer a mix of two, three and four person serviced apartments and feature a guest lounge with a kitchen, gym and offices on the ground floor and basement.
The buildings will be partly demolished with the façade retained. Speaking after plans were approved, Jadebricks director Mike Bathurst said: "A lot of work has gone into developing the proposals for Larard’s Still and I am absolutely delighted that the planning committee has voted in favour of our plans.
