Time is running out for local businesses and residents to give their views on plans to regenerate an important strategic area next to the Manchester ship canal.
Trafford Council’s public consultation into the Draft Trafford Wharfside Development Framework and Draft Trafford Wharfside Masterplan is closing on April 18, 2024.
The Framework, produced in partnership with Peel Group, Manchester United and Salford City Council, sets the vision for the Wharfside area and how it can better function ‘as a place’ and the Masterplan provides a detailed assessment of the area’s residential and commercial development potential.
The masterplan places nature and landscape at the heart of its vision, celebrates the Manchester Ship Canal waterfront and the Imperial War Museum, creates opportunities for up to 5,000 new homes, connects Trafford Wharfside to the city centre and develops a new-look setting for Manchester United as they develop their plans for a world-class football stadium.
The consultation will give business and residents an opportunity to give their views on the regeneration of Trafford Wharfside. Have your say on the Draft Trafford Wharfside Development Framework and Masterplan.
A spokesperson for Trafford Council said: “We would encourage as many businesses and residents as possible to take part in the consultation as the Wharfside is of huge importance due to its location, business base and regeneration potential. These plans will help the Council to steer and support the revitalisation of this area so it meets the needs of current and future residents and businesses.”
