Salford City Council - Supplementary Planning Document
The purpose of this document is to set out the design principles that will be used to govern development as part of the regeneration of the Lower Broughton area of the city.

The area is generally defined by the River Irwell to the west and south, Camp Street to the north and Great Clowes Street to the east, together with land to the north and east of the junction of Camp Street and Great Clowes Street and an area to the east of Great Clowes Street and south of Gordon Street and Cottenham Lane. The boundaries of the area are shown on the plan above.
The SPD provides design guidance specifically for the Lower Broughton area of Salford, expanding on the policies of the city’s Adopted Unitary Development Plan (UDP). It also summarises the background for the regeneration of Lower Broughton and the emerging vision for the area, but does not allocate land for any specific uses. The SPD does not have the same status as a development plan but is a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.
Further information on the regeneration proposals for Lower Broughton.
The SPD has been prepared in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004. The following supporting documents have also been published:
