MediaCityUK and Quays Point

This planning guidance relates to the intention to establish MediaCityUK on approximately 220ha of land in and around Salford Quays and Trafford Wharfside, with the 14.8 ha Quays Point site at its core.

The area covered is bounded by Eccles New Road, Trafford Road, Ordsall Lane, Manchester Ship Canal and Trafford Park Road.

The vision is to create a globally significant new media city capable of competing with similar emerging locations in places such as Copenhagen, Seoul and Singapore. The intention is to create a modern digital city for the UK, where creative talent is drawn by the quality and excitement of the environment and the range and mix of people.
