The plans for Broadmoss in Chorlton<\/p>\n
Another 700 affordable homes will be built across the city, taking the total agreed on Wednesday past 1,000.<\/p>\n
They will be constructed on council-owned plots in 17 areas, including the city centre.<\/p>\n
Coun White said the authority was \u2018taking the lead\u2019 on increasing the number of affordable homes in a city where 19,000 people are waiting for a council house.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people say it\u2019s really challenging to deliver affordable housing with viability issues,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe are showing we can take the lead and deliver outcomes that deliver for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 700 homes will be built in the following spots:<\/p>\n
\n- Some 271 homes for social rent and shared ownership are eyed for Broadmoss in Charlestown.<\/strong><\/li>\n
- An all-affordable, 23-storey tower in the city centre<\/strong> will contain 133 flats. Viadux 2 in Deansgate is part of developer Salboy\u2019s project to construct the city\u2019s tallest skyscraper.<\/li>\n
- On Alexandra Road in Moss Side<\/strong>, 64 homes and apartments are planned, and will be available at the Manchester Living Rent.<\/li>\n
- Over on Gransmoor Avenue, Openshaw,<\/strong> right-to-buy purchases of council houses is taking affordable rental properties out of the market, so 51 social rent homes are earmarked.<\/li>\n
- The long-disused former Levenshulme Baths<\/strong> will be converted into 34 apartments, also capped at the Manchester Living Rent.<\/li>\n
- And the council\u2019s \u2018Project 500\u2019 programme, to build 500 affordable homes on small portions of land across the city, will enter its second phase. Phase two will build another 160 homes across 12 sites in north and east Manchester<\/strong>, exceeding the original 500 home target of this initiative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They will cover 17 areas of the cityHow Gorton might look one day Confirmation more than 1,000 affordable…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503419,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,23941,4884,2465,8828,29712,285,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-503418","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-gorton","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-manchester","13":"tag-manchester-council","14":"tag-manchester-development","15":"tag-politics","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115382339176343562","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503418","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=503418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
