Property developer and investor, Scarborough Group International (SGI) has now submitted two more reserved matters planning applications and a revised outline planning application for the next significant phase of development.
The first reserved matters application is for a further 659 high-rise apartments within two blocks, alongside commercial space.
The second application is for 250 residential apartments within an L-shaped building that steps down from 15 storeys to 11 storeys. There will also be commercial space provision with extensive public realm for residents and visitors.
A new landscaped public square linking the two plots is also included within the application.
Additionally, updated consent is being sought to make revisions to the existing masterplan, which includes plans for a hotel and multi-storey car park.
Paul Kelly, development director at SGI, said: "We are delighted to progress plans for the next significant stage of development at Middlewood Locks and demonstrate our commitment to press ahead with the next phases of this strategic mixed-use regeneration project.
"Over the last five years we have successfully delivered exceptional residential space and public realm to create a new neighbourhood with a real sense of place.
"This next phase seeks to connect Middlewood Locks with a seamless transition from the bustle of Manchester city centre through to a more tranquil living environment that is both sustainable and convenient.
Another phase of 189 apartments and townhouses, called The Railings, has also been announced.
Nicola Wallis, sales and marketing director, added: "The sell-out of both phases one and two at Middlewood Locks has allowed us to progress with The Railings where we are introducing new town houses to support an increased demand for family living.
“The journey over the last five years has not only created a thriving new neighbourhood but also delivered considerable economic returns to the region. The new reserve matters applications seek to carry us through to complete our 13-year commitment to curate one of the largest new communities in Greater Manchester.
