Description

Salford City Council is seeking to procure a contractor to deliver circa 320 units at Robert Hall Street and West Park Street in Ordsall. The site will be developed for a mix of affordable, private rented and open market sale properties and the exact mix is currently being agreed. The proposed scheme is for a mixture of family housing and apartment blocks of one- and two-bedroom units. All houses are two and three storeys, with the apartment blocks being up to six storeys. Mix currently assumed as 126 houses and 178 apartments.

The two sites are separated by Robert Hall Street. One of the key design decisions was to provide an active frontage along this access road. Houses and apartments front onto the main street to promote activity and surveillance. Consideration has also been given to the wider community areas with the sites designed to mirror this.
The proposed material for the scheme is brick, which reflects the local vernacular. The design adds another dimension to the scheme providing focal points (feature plots) as you move through the site. It is important given the number of dwellings on the site that variety is provided to enhance the character and architecture interest to the development, through using an alternative brick. The detailing of the apartment blocks will feature a combination of both brick types.
