UK: Plans for a scaled-down scheme in Salford’s Langworthy neighbourhood have been submitted to the city council following refusal of a larger development last year.
Beech Holdings’ plans for 238 coliving units across two blocks close to Langworthy Metrolink stop were rejected due to concerns about a lack of space.
A year on, Brookland House, the Beech SPV that owns the site, has resubmitted plans for a single block 71-unit scheme on one of the two plots.
Designed by Leech Rhodes Walker, the 10-storey development will comprise units spanning 334 square feet. The 215 square foot studios that were included in the original scheme have been omitted from the latest plans.
Each of the 71 single-person units would feature a bedroom, study area, seating area, shower room, storage, and kitchenette facilities, according to a planning statement prepared by Paul Butler Associates.
Shared kitchen and lounge spaces, as well as a gym, would also be provided. Each resident would benefit from 91 square feet of internal amenity space.
Later this week, the city council is expected to approve Salford’s first coliving development, Progressive Living’s 568-unit development in Greengate.
