The English Cities Fund (ECF) has submitted plans for 100 “high quality, affordable” one- and two-bedroom Passivhaus apartments on Peru Street in Salford.
The homes, which sit within a part five and part six storey building designed by Buttress, form part of the wider £2.5bn Crescent Salford regeneration scheme.
Joe Stockton, development manager at ECF, said: “Creating places that work for people and the broader environment means looking at how we bring sustainable regeneration forward. With that in mind, we must consider all the ways we can create a positive impact in the places we work. With Peru Street we’ve built on our successes and learnings through delivering Greenhaus to create even more sustainable, affordable homes for the people of Salford.
“As a business and as a partnership, we have both a responsibility and an opportunity to create future-proofed places, neighbourhoods, and communities that respond to the climate crisis. Our work at Crescent will exceed this through a holistic approach that will benefit everyone in the long term, bring people together and connect them to some of the stunning green and blue assets Salford has to offer.”
Alison Haigh, associate at Buttress, added: “The scheme will reinforce the Passivhaus principles that are currently being trail blazed, at the nearby Greenhaus development which is due to complete in March 2024. Both schemes are being brought forward by ECF and will create much-needed affordable homes. Meticulous detailing combined with exceptional build quality will ensure the scheme provides excellent levels of thermal comfort, improves health and wellbeing and addresses fuel poverty.”
Subject to planning it is anticipated a start on site could be made in early 2024.
