Masterplan
Salford pre-development
Terraced townhouses formed part of the first phase of developlment
Salford Central
Salford Central masterplan, covering almost 18-hectares, was the city’s largest-ever planning application at the time of its submission. Our ambitious proposals, a collaboration between the English Cities Fund and Muse, formed an urban design-led scheme for the Chapel Street Corridor and the Adelphi/Bexley Square Conservation Area.
The masterplan followed more than two years of consultation with the community and stakeholders, with the aim of delivering a holistic regeneration of this part of Salford for the benefit of existing residents and businesses, as well as acting as a catalyst to redevelopment in the city as a whole.
The design process involved testing and re-engineering an earlier diagrammatic plan into a scheme that optimises street vitality, legibility and pedestrian routes to integrate the area into the wider community. The masterplan encouraged investment in up to 864 new homes, a 390-bed hotel and 197,000 square metres of office space, creating an exemplary mixed-use development.
