Salford City Council has approved plans for the £1.3bn Regent Park development in Salford set to deliver a new green and sustainable neighbourhood. 

Consisting of 10 buildings, the mixed-use masterplan by Matt Brook Architects will deliver the new urban quarter in two phases. Permission has been secured by Henley Investment Management.

The approved plans will retain retail space and transform 130,000ft2 at Regent Retail Park, into a new retail, residential and community neighbourhood. 

Ian Rickwood, Henley’s chief executive says the scheme “recognise the importance of retail and services for the community, retaining significant enhanced provision that will cater to the needs of local people”. 

Featuring five acres of public open space, the West Union Park will host pop-up events within its village soiree as well as a children’s play space.
