Plans put forward for £5.7m Blackley apartments
A site off Old Market Street and west of the Blackley Conservative Club is the subject of proposals for a 42-apartment development.
A vehicle controlled by directors Javed Aslam, Arshad Mahmood, and Tahir Mahmood has applied to Manchester City Council for outline permission to develop a residential scheme on the plot.
Saleem Architects designed the scheme comprising two four-storey apartment blocks, with Block A hosting 19 flats, and Block B the other 23.
A mix of 17 one-bed and 25 two-bed flats is planned. 28 parking spaces are to be provided. A landscaped garden space would be found on the site’s north east corner.
To the south of the site runs Boggart Hole Brook and some apartments will have balconies overlooking the stream.
According to a viability appraisal submitted with the application, the scheme has a GDV of £5.77m and would cost £5.4m to build.
The project team includes SCP, Enviro Solution, Collington Winter Environmental, GEA, and S106 Management.
To view the application, use the reference number 140485/OO/2024 on Manchester City Council’s planning portal.
Why are there no balconies included? Seems a strange omission, particularly given only a small bit of landscaping is provided to residents to escape the confines of their flats.
