The Site

Currently the site consists of two warehouses. The undeveloped parts of the site is mostly hard-standing used for car parking.

The property occupies an excellent waterside location, fronting onto the River Irwell with views towards Manchester City Centre.

There is strong demand for new housing in Salford & Greater Manchester (both for sale and rental). This development will be another significant contributor to meet Salford’s housing needs.

Salford & the Ordsall Riverside has a rich industrial heritage, the design of 319 & 321 Ordsall Lane draws influence from the industrial building typology of Salford & Greater Manchester. The form of building, choice of materials and colour palette have all been drawn from the historical analysis of the area.

The site is not located within a conservation area and does not contain any listed buildings.

DESIGN STRATEGY

Ground Floor - Enhance the pedestrian experience

New development offers the opportunity to improve the

condition of the riverside walkway, our proposals will seek

to enhance the sites relationship with this pedestrian route,

making it an active area not just a means of travel.

Roof Level - Step the roof of the proposed building

We have reduced the appearance of mass by introducing

breaks in the facade. Taller elements are placed

strategically to prevent the feel of a monolithic block.

Fall across site allows extra floor to be gained at lower ground, infill with amenity.

Streetscape

The proposed development has been set back from the

red line boundary. Defensible space around the perimeter

makes for a more generous pedestrian experience. The

design intends to reflect the pedestrian scale with design

traits that give the lower levels a feel of housing typology.

This can be achieved through using distinctive architectural

features that are typical of the local housing.

Layout Strategy

• Unlock the site potential, existing building does not add a positive contribution to the area.

• Existing building has no street frontages, instead it has a severe boundary treatment. Site footprint is underutilised with the majority of the site being used as car parking.

• Align spine of building to eastern boundary and facilitate the neighbouring developments aspirations to create a new street Our proposals will address the frontage with residential units.

• Arrangement creates large courtyard area to be enjoyed by residents.

• Divide courtyard into zones, pockets of green space are more likely to be used as residents won’t feel so on display.

• Establish vertical hierarchy across site, stepping the height down towards residential area and up towards river to take advantage of the views.

Ground Floor Strategy

• The building has been considered as a whole but also in distinct areas that affect the community at a human scale.

• In particular the ground and first floor has additional detailing around windows and doors to create architectural interest.

• The building is setback from the boundaries to allow the 319 development to create a high quality green buffer zone in between boundaries of neighbouring developments.

Courtyards - Visual Connectivity Between Green Spaces

Residential spaces have access to terraces with greenery, as well as private balconies that look out onto the ground floor

communal terraces. These communal terraces in turn share a visual connection not only with the communal terrace opposite

but with the green central thoroughfare on the lower ground floor that leads to the riverside.

Landscape & Amenity Strategy

• The principle design aspiration is to create a community within the development and within the local area. The landscape strategy will be inviting and attractive for all, encouraging members of local area to engage with our development.

• In particular our scheme will engage with the new proposals by the neighbouring development for Obelisk Way to ensure it is a community street not just a thoroughfare.

• Amenity will be provided to residents, both private (balconies) & communal (courtyards & roof terraces). The massing creates enclosed communal courtyards, these courtyards are provided at first floor level to ensure security and use by residents.

Scheme Overview

• The design we are currently consulting on has been the result of a collaborative approach through pre-application discussions with Salford Council’s planning and design officers.

• The height and massing has taken the topography of the site into consideration as well as the proximity of existing emerging and existing developments.

• The residential offering will be a mix of private for sale, private rented & affordable homes. Residential units will be provided with amenity areas and courtyards.

• There is a building typology emerging in the developments along Ordsall Lane, the perimeter block/courtyard arrangement. The proposed site masterplan is in keeping with the emerging townscape of Ordsall Riverside. The development activates the primarily public edge conditions & creates sheltered communal areas on the internal face.

• Designing a great place for people to live in is at the heart of the proposal.

Street Design

The scheme is designed to enhance key frontages with a primary focus on the pedestrian experience. By activating the street frontages our scheme will encourage pedestrians to occupy the riverside area.

Design assessments have been made to consider pedestrian interactions and experiences. Increased green space and planting are provided on the new improved Obelisk Way.

Width of footpaths increased by setting the building back from the boundaries on Ordsall Lane, Obelisk Way & the Riverside Walkway.

Activated frontages along Obelisk way will provide security through natural surveillance

BIODIVERSITY, ECOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY• We are committed to enhancing green spaces through an Integrated landscaping solution

which promote pedestrian movement across the site. In line with Policy DES3 and DES4,

the layout has been designed to ensure that the public open space has a clear purpose and

connects to established pedestrian routes and other public spaces.

• As part of the landscaping strategy we aim to enhance the level of existing trees and foliage

across the site. In line with Policy DES 9 Landscaping, high quality hard and soft landscaping

will be provided on site to enhance the design of the development.

• In addition, there will be areas of new green spaces and native planting which will replace

the concrete hard standing. These spaces will comprise of a mix of public open space and

private open space for the use of residents.

HIGHWAYS• Seeking to reduce the dominance of cars with significantly reduced on-site parking provision,

compared to the Council’s policy.

• Secure car parking (including disabled provision) will be provided within the site along with

dedicated cycle parking. Parking provision strikes a balance between serving residents and

meeting the Council’s aspirations for lower car usage in the City.

• All apartments will have dedicated cycle storage which is in line with Policy A2 which ensures

the adequate provision for cyclists.

• Within suggested acceptable walking distances (equivalent to approximately 20 minutes

walk) a variety of retail, leisure and employment opportunities are available in Old Trafford,

Salford Quays and areas in Manchester city centre. Footways are provided along Ordsall

Lane with crossing infrastructure provided at key locations to facilitate access around the

network.

• Within suggested acceptable cycling distances (approximately 20 minutes), the majority

of Manchester and Salford city centres can be accessed as well as other retail and leisure

opportunities in the surrounding towns and suburbs.

• Ordsall Lane is used by cyclists with on-carriageway markings to identify the presence of

cyclists and infrastructure is provided at key junctions (i.e. advanced cycle stop lines). The

existing residential network to the west of the site forms part of the advisory cycle network

with 20mph speed limits providing options to access Salford Quays. In addition, the river

path is designated as a traffic-free route with a good surface in TfGM’s maps and provides

links to Manchester city centre and the National Cycle Network

• Bus stops are located within 150 metres walking distance from the site. Additional bus stops

and services are available on Trafford Road approximately 700 metres walking distance from

the site.

• The Metrolink network can be accessed within 600 metres walking distance of the site,

equivalent to 7-8 minutes walking time. Regular services are provided between Salford

Quays, Eccles and Manchester city centre.

• The planning application will be accompanied by a comprehensive Transport Assessment

and Travel Plan with a focus on the promotion of sustainable travel modes.

DRAINAGE• Surface water runoff generated from the development shall be discharged at a controlled

rate into the Manchester Ship Canal. This is in accordance with current best practice and

avoids adding additional flows to the public sewer system. The controlled flow rate shall

provide a betterment in the existing runoff rate generated on the current site.

• Where appropriate, SuDS systems shall be incorporated into the design of the development.

• The Environment Agency records on flood levels in this area have been reviewed and

considered in the proposed finished floor levels of the development. This ensures the proposed

development levels reference appropriate Salford City Council Planning Policy.

• The planning application will be accompanied by a Flood Risk Assessment and Initial Drainage

Strategy.
