Around 3,200 more homes, 300 new hotel rooms and 800,000 sq ft of commercial space could be built
Plans to expand MediaCityUK and Salford Quays with thousands of new homes have been met with excitement - but not everyone is happy about the new proposals.Peel Media and major investor Landsec are revamping and amending previously approved plans dating back to 2016. Salford Quays is already home to 1.4million sq ft of offices and upwards of 1,100 homes.
One woman who did not wish to be named said: "Compared to what was here before MediaCity came here, it's so much better. I own a property here, so from my point of view, more residential accommodation here can only be beneficial." And not everyone is happy with the new plans. The ward's Liberal Democrat Coun Alex Warren warned against a lack of 'desired green space' for existing residents.
Salford city council's Conservative opposition group leader Coun Robin Garrido spoke in favour of the plan.
