Another application for more flats has been submitted for Old Trafford.
An application has been made for 128 flats in a five-storey building at the southern end of Warwick Road, opposite the Old Trafford Metrolink stop.
Just last week, Trafford council rejected plans for 88 flats a stone’s throw away, on the former MKM House site further up Warwick Road.
The application was thrown out over concerns about a shortage of parking spaces as well as the overall size and massing of the development from Jumani Holdings Ltd.
This latest application, from developers Victor Ltd, is for 78 two-bedroom and 48 one-bedroom apartments with internal balconies set over an inner open courtyard.
The modern flats are set to be accompanied on site by 25 car parking spaces and cycle storage.
Working with Victor Ltd, director at MC Construction, Mike Purcell, said: “We commenced site assembly along Warwick Road South in 2016. Our intention is the much needed regeneration of the brownfield area adjacent to a transport hub which acts as gateway to the world-renowned Old Trafford. We are delighted to have now submitted plans for a quality scheme with our partners at The McGoff Group.”
Director at The McGoff Group, Chris McGoff, said: “We are really excited about the plans for Warwick Road South. The Old Trafford area has huge potential and we believe the development will make a positive contribution to the redevelopment of the area making use of a brownfield site in a highly sustainable location close to public transport links and good local facilities.”
A decision on the plans will be made once it has gone through the usual planning procedures at Trafford council.
