  2. What is the Core Strategy? • Strategic and very broad ranging city wide planning document • Makes the difficult decisions - decides the scale, location and type of new development needed • Identifies key infrastructure needed to support new development • Won’t allocate sites for development, except for strategic sites • Core Strategy will form part of the council’s Local Development Framework, and along with other documents will replace the Unitary Development Plan

  3. What will be in the core strategy? • Spatial vision • What do we want Salford to be like in 2027? • Based on the Community Plan vision • Not a blank canvas • Strategic objectives • These are the headline targets • e.g. to secure 90% of dwellings on previously developed land • Planning policies • To deliver the vision • to be used in determining planning applications

  4. What are we consulting on? • Issues and Options Report proposes 4 different strategic options • Must consider all realistic and reasonable options • The decisions made on the location of new housing impacts significantly on the rest of the strategy • Consultation: 17th October until 12th December 2008

  5. The 4 options • Option 1 = Where we are heading, focus high density development in the regional centre • Option 2 = Moderate change in approach, slightly less development in Regional Centre • Option 3 = Maximising opportunities across the city, less development to the Regional Centre, more in Salford West • Option 4 = Major greenfield release, significantly higher level of development in Salford West

Key issues for Eccles: Housing • Between 1,200 (option 1) and 2,350 (option 4) dwellings planned • Proposed redevelopment of employment areas at Great Universal Stores, Legh Street, and Peel Green - part only (all options) • Higher level of housing in Eccles will result in potential redevelopment of Nasmyth, Carlton Works, Cawdor Street and Chadwick Road (options 2, 3 and 4) and Vine Street (options 1, 3, and 4) • Directing more housing to Salford West will deliver more family homes and will place greater affordable housing requirements on developers

  7. Key issues for Eccles: Area of Major Change • All options identify Liverpool Road Corridor in as an Area of Major Change • Reflects Liverpool Road Corridor Strategy & Salford West Framework • Areas of major change will: - be subject to masterplanning and planning applications and must form part a of co-ordinated approach to regeneration - need to be supported by relevant infrastructure • Core Strategy will support coordinated enhancement of the corridor with residential-led mixed use development around Bridgewater Canal and improvement of local shops, facilities and the environment

  8. Key issues for Eccles: District and Local Centres • Core Strategy supports and encourages redevelopment of existing mall in Eccles, reflecting Salford West Regeneration Framework • Continue focus on comparison goods, particularly bulky goods retailing at West One (out-of-centre location in context of national planning guidance) • Encourage enhancement of Eccles as an office location • Carry forward local centres in UDP: Monton, Patricroft, Peel Green • Proposed new local centre on Liverpool Road, east of Bridgewater Canal, as part of comprehensive redevelopment of Legh Street, Cawdor Street and Vine Street employment areas (options 3 and 4 only)

  9. Key issues for Eccles: Infrastructure • Extension of the Eccles Metrolink line along Liverpool Road in options 3 and 4, through the Barton Strategic Regional Site and across the ship canal, to link with the proposed Trafford Centre line • Options 1 and 2 propose rapid bus transit along the same route • Options 3 and 4 propose an above ground level bypass off Junction 12 on the western side of the M60 • Investigate use of former looplines for rapid bus transit in options 1-3, this would be a requirement in option 4. • All options support improvements to interchange facilities between Eccles Station, Eccles Metrolink stop and the bus station
