UK: More than four years after initial plans were unveiled, CERT Property has gained planning approval for a 30-storey scheme in Salford.
The development, called Clipper’s Quay, will feature 171 coliving units and 141 BTR apartments. CERT has been in dialogue with the city’s planners for several years in a bid to over the scheme and significantly reworked its plans in 2024.
It reduced the number of coliving units by 90, increasing the size of the remaining 171.
Cllr Mike McCusker, lead member for planning, transport and sustainable development at Salford City Council, said: “Salford Quays is continuing to grow as a vibrant community, and the council is working closely with partners to explore ways we can support that growth – from improving infrastructure to upgrading open spaces and walkways. Developments like this will help to bring more people into the area and support a lively, sustainable area of Salford in line with our vision for Salford and created with community at the forefront. As part of the planning application and working with the developer, a number of conditions have been set which will benefit Salford Quays and the wider area, which will support a range of priorities in Salford such as open spaces, outdoor and indoor sports, public realm, transport and affordable housing.”
Howard Lord, founder and managing director at CERT, said: “The approval of our plans for Clippers Quay paves the way for us to extend our community living approach and market leading resident experience to Salford Quays. Our vision is to enable people to form thriving communities as they see fit, whilst enabling tenants to manage every aspect of their home and lifestyle in one place.”
OMI Architects is leading on design and Enabl is advising on planning.
