Why?

UA92
A proposed student accommodation building has proved controversial for the local residents. 

​

The student accommodation is likely to be approved. We have proposed an alternative massing, which integrates the site the rest of Stretford, as well as creating a route to the canal.

Unused Asset
The canal has high potential to become a well-used part of Stretford. This was one of the most mentioned issues from the engagement event.

​

Currently, there are few canal-side amenities, and few decent paths to the canal-side. Reversing this will encourage movement to areas along the canal.

What will this look like?
