Creating a new Pendleton - The Vision
The proposed vision for Pendleton, as developed through the consultation with local people, is set out below:
Pendleton will be a distinctive neighbourhood with a strong identity, and it will be a celebration of everything that is good about urban living. It will be an area of opportunity where anyone can make something of their life, set up a business and live happily, healthily, and safely.
Pendleton will be transformed, building on its existing assets. Existing communities will be retained and new residents will be attracted. There will be a strong sense of pride in the area and it will be a place where everyone feels valued and at home.
There will be an increase in the area’s population, whilst ensuring that the density and scale of development makes it a pleasant place to live. A much wider variety of housing will be provided, with a strong emphasis on affordability and an increase in family housing. It will become a neighbourhood of choice, where people aspire to live.
Pendleton will act as a key gateway to Central Salford, linking the city’s creative quarters at MediaCityUK at Salford Quays and Chapel Street/Crescent. It will be fully connected with its surrounding areas, including all the opportunities of Manchester city centre. The expanded population will provide customers for a wider range of shops, services and facilities, with a strong, diverse and attractive town centre at its heart.
The regeneration of Pendleton will be a key part of transforming Central Salford. This will be reflected in the quality of design of the environment in the area, with landmark buildings and green landscaping adding to the area’s identity and distinctiveness.
Pendleton’s public spaces will be attractive, safe, well used and well managed, and will be places where the community comes together.
To help deliver this vision for Pendleton, local area plans have been developed. These plans are known as Draft Planning Guidance and they provide an outline for housing, building design, green space, transport, retail and community facilities. Planning Guidance will support and complement the housing PFI project, and will assist in attracting new investment and development for Pendleton.
