Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Cheers for posting that.....interesting read

The medium to long term plans from the new HS2 station up to the CFA are extraordinary & transformational for an area that was the 'work shop of Manchester' and suffered such poverty & under investment for almost a 100 years.

CITY will be the catalyst,and be at the centre of New Manchester & will be a huge beneficiary of a young,proffesional population.

Good times ahead for the club & the city on a whole. Making east Manchester a leading hub for sporting, educational & medical/health will benefit the whole of the north west and should drive shit loads of investment.....hopefully making up for the last 100 years of lack of investment
 
Sorry if posted (the pdf seems to be dated Feb 17) but I got a letter through the post today with a link to this where it's got a detailed pdf if anyone wants to look:

As you say this was from February and at the time was going out for consultation, anyone know how long these take from consultation to actual planning apps going in. ? Wondering this because I'd have thought if the North stand was going to get extended it would be easier to get that done before or at least at the same time as building work at that end of the stadium.
 
Slightly off topic, but this gives a snap shot of why Manchester is currently booming. Which will no doubt spill over into the redevelopment of the Collar site, the Etihad Campus and the areas in-between the city centre and the stadium.

Skyscrapers, towers and talls all onsite/under construction ATM in Manchester. (may have missed some?)

Owen Street X 4(tallest of the 4 towers is 64 stories - 200.5 metres)
Water Street
Wilburn Basin
Exchange Court
Angel Gardens
Axis
Oxygen
X1 Mediacity
X1 the Gateway
Port Street
M-One Central
The Lightbox
Erie Basin
M/CR New Square
The Hallmark
Eastbank
The Slate Yard

20! Yes 20!

Not to mention too many midrise and small apartments under construction to list.

Middlewood Locks
Chapel Wharf
Adelphi Wharf
Clipper Quays
Etc

And numerous other proposals/developments which are going to start this year.
St John's.
2-4 Chester Road.
Etc.

Bar London, Manchester is seeing the most investment and construction of any of the regional cities. That goes for the major cities, even capital's, across Europe.

Sure Ric won't mind. Not diverting traffic.

Item 12 - Progress of the Residential Growth Action Plan (222.24 KB, PDF)

In the other direction, we will expect to see detailed plans brought forward for


the regeneration of the Central Retail Park and the Great Ancoats Street area.

Officers remain engaged with the owners of the retail park and have worked

with them to prepare a new framework for the site. A report and draft

framework for the Central Retail Park appears elsewhere on this agenda. The

delivery of the regeneration and improvement of these areas is key to

successfully integrating Ancoats and New Islington into the fabric of the city

centre.

6.10 Looking beyond the Ancoats and New Islington neighbourhoods; the wider

Eastern Gateway areas of Holt Town, the Lower Medlock Valley and areas

adjacent to the Etihad Campus are considered key growth areas in terms of

future residential development. The strategic interventions made by the City

Council over this Action Plan period will result in a solid development platform

being established similar to that which can evidenced in Ancoats and New

Islington.

6.11 A refreshed draft Eastlands Regeneration Framework was presented to the

Executive on 8 March 2017 which, subject to consultation, will be adopted in

late summer 2017. This refreshed framework incorporates the Holt Town and

Lower Medlock Valley areas and will supersede earlier frameworks for these

areas. The Council will focus on the acquisition of key sites in and around the

Ashton Canal Corridor and the wider Holt Town area in order to facilitate

development. Where development continues to be constrained the Council will

also be seeking to utilise CPO powers in this area.

6.12 Over the course of the 5-year duration of this Action Plan the Strategic

Development Directorate will be working closely with colleagues at

Manchester Life to make preparations for phase 2 of the delivery programme

to ensure that momentum is maintained and planned accordingly. Priority

activities will include further acquisitions, disposals, and infrastructure

planning. http://www.manchester.gov.uk/meetings/meeting/2989/executive
 
It's progressing.

Item 10 - Manchester Metropolitan University Estate Strategy 2017 (7.24 MB, PDF)

With regard to the proposal for a new Manchester Sport Institute
there has been an ongoing dialogue with the University to establish a robust
business case for the Etihad Stadium to act as a potential location for the
Manchester Sport Institute to provide the world class Higher Education offer to deliver sports related undergraduate and postgraduate courses as set out within the draft Eastlands Regeneration Framework which is currently being consulted upon.

JRB do you know if there are any cladding issues regarding the towers going up in Manchester? Do modern buildings use the same materials implicated in London?

I have noticed a lot of buildings going up in Manchester at the moment. I live in St Johns gardens so very aware of it at the moment. Surrounded on 3 sides by big developments but tbh I like all 3 (Spinningfields, St Johns and a little futher away at Owen St?). I heard Gary Neville's plans had a setback though.
