The council’s planning committee is expected to approve the development\"SalfordSalford attracts large numbers of students coming to Greater Manchester’s universities (Image: Planning reports)<\/p>\n

Hundreds of new student flats could be built next to a waste centre in Salford<\/a> – with future residents recommended to close windows \u2018day and night\u2019 from bad smells.<\/p>\n

A building up to eight stories high with 364 apartments is set to be discussed by Salford council\u2019s planning committee on September 4, and has been tipped to get the go ahead.<\/p>\n

It could be built on land at Cumberland House on Lissadel Street in Pendleton, close to Broughton Road and the A6.<\/p>\n

At the moment the area is being used by a car servicing and MOT garage, and a taxi office.<\/p>\n

The developer, a company known as X1 The Campus Ltd, wants to demolish these buildings for the new scheme, which will include creating communal spaces and landscaping.<\/p>\n

Based around the development site is JWS Waste, which could have an impact on future residents according to planning assessments.<\/p>\n

A report reads: “The odour impact assessment indicates that there is likely to be an impact on future occupants due to the odours from the waste site and recommends, in mitigation, that windows remain closed for large parts of the day and night with a mechanical ventilation scheme installed to reduce the risk of a loss of amenity.”<\/p>\n

It also added there is \u2018potential for noise\u2019 from the recycling site from vehicles and waste handling, which could \u2018have an adverse impact on the health, quality of life and amenity for future occupiers of the proposed development.\u2019<\/p>\n

A total of 12 objections to the new student homes have been submitted, including from two Salford councillors.<\/p>\n

Councillors Wilson Nkurunziza and Michele Barnes, who both sit on the city mayor\u2019s top cabinet team, said in a written statement that there is an \u2018oversaturation\u2019 of student digs in the area.<\/p>\n

They added: \u201cThere is a risk of overconcentration of student accommodations. It will be appreciated if this can be changed to constructing social houses which are much needed in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic amenities are already under strain and further development will exacerbate the access to key public services, reduce the quality of life for existing residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge the planning panel to reconsider approving this application and evaluate alternative use of this site to serve better the wider community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The council’s planning committee is expected to approve the developmentSalford attracts large numbers of students coming to Greater…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383024,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,58610,1290,27605,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-383023","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-pendleton","13":"tag-salford","14":"tag-salford-council","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115113296362086355","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
