ECF has submitted plans for the delivery of 42 affordable, Passivhaus Classic standard certified homes on the Farmer Norton car park on Cleminson Street in Salford.
Designed by dRMM Architects, the three-bedroom homes will form part of Adelphi Village; a residential community situated to the east of the River Irwell, and one of the six development zones that make up the £2.5bn Crescent Salford masterplan.
Steve Thomas, senior development manager at ECF, a joint venture between Homes England, Legal & General and Muse, said: “Through the creation of Passivhaus communities like Farmer Norton, we’re bringing together placemaking, regeneration and investment expertise to bridge the gap for affordable, high-quality, sustainable homes. We’ll build on the success and learnings from Greenhaus and Willohaus, ensuring we continue to deliver much-needed housing that has a positive impact on the environment and the people of Salford.”
Salford city mayor Paul Dennett added: “It is positive news that the planning application for 42 affordable and energy efficient homes has now been submitted for the planning panel to consider. Providing high quality, affordable, sustainable homes is a key priority of mine, and a scheme such as this which helps us deliver the homes our residents need and deserve is very welcome.”
Subject to planning consent, work on the new homes is expected to begin in summer 2025.
