The Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal Society has responded to the various iterations of the proposal by H2O Urban LLP to erect a residential development of 204 residential apartments at Upper Wharf Street in Ordsall, Salford.
We first submitted a response to the planning application in December 2023, focusing on a primary message around: Development alongside the line of the canal shall facilitate its restoration, or if not possible, works should not prevent or significantly hinder the future restoration of the canal or its towpath.
The developer partially revised their plans as a result of our representations, however we still had reservations and submitted a further response in March 2024.
The developer replied to our response; this prompted our further representations made in June 2024
