recommendations.
 
The Reasons
are:
 

To complete the masterplan for New
Bailey, Salford Central

Options considered and rejected were:

Not to complete the masterplan for New Bailey,
Salford Central .  However, this was
rejected.  This was on the basis that
New Bailey has undergone a process of significant transformation
over the last 15 – 20 years. Approving the above
recommendations will conclude delivering New Bailey in line with
the Salford Central Development Framework, which was adopted in May
2009.
 
Assessment of
Risk: Low
 
Plot A1
 
ECf have been successful in securing a forward
funding partner and Brownfield Land Funding to support delivery of
Plot A1.
 
Viability assessments by ECf have confirmed
that the development is viable.
 
Plot A1 follows on from the successful
delivery of other residential schemes in the New Bailey locality at
the Slateyard, Novella and Plot C2. Construction will follow the
same high-quality standard.
 
 
New Bailey Estate
 
ECf have identified funding to deliver a large
part of the improvements. Funding support from the council will
assist in delivering what remains.  The
Council already has approval to allocate the S106 funding from the
Renaker Development at Wilburn Street Basin to works such as those
that are proposed.  The Council also
holds further funding on its balance sheet to fund appropriate
works at the junction of Trinity Way, Irwell Street, access to New
Bailey Estate.
