This will mean a range of needs and aspirations will be met and a mixed, balanced and sustainable housing offer and neighbourhood will be created.
Timescales
A planning decision is anticipated before Christmas, and subject to this, it is anticipated to start on site spring 2022 and complete spring 2024.
Social value
Local builders and suppliers will be used to boost the Salford economy and contractors are required to maximise ‘social value.’ This means offering training and apprenticeship opportunities to local people during construction, working with local schools to offer advice and information about careers in construction, buying local products where possible and taking care of the environment.
About the contractors
Contractors will be required to abide by the code for Considerate Constructors Scheme which includes site management plans to mitigate the impact of the development on neighbours and compliance with any coronavirus regulations in force at the time.
Partners
This scheme is being developed in partnership with the city, Dérive and Inspiring Communities Together. On completion the homes will be purchased by Dérive (providing social and affordable rent, private rent and sale) and Inspiring Communities Together (providing social and affordable rent).
Affordable homes
All affordable homes will be let to households on the council’s register in line with the approved allocations policies. These will be well managed using good quality housing management policies and practices.
