The temperatures have certainly dropped here in Manchest…

But that is not slowing progress on Castle Irwell Phase 3! Take a look at these stunning drone photos captured in the winter sun (including a photograph of the completed previous phases!)

Our client required some Aerial images and video footage of the completed roofing works at one of the tallest skyscraper buildings in Manchester, Cortland, at Colliers Yard, a 50- storey development, standing at 153m (500ft)



With the company's permission, we strategically positioned a spotter in radio contact with the pilot; we climbed up to an altitude of 168M, which was our maximum limit, and successfully obtained some perfect images and video footage in a semi-circle away from the rail infrastructure ensuring VLOS (visual line of sight) was maintained keeping our back to the sun as it was very fierce on the day, the mission was carried out successfully with the small but mighty Mini 3Pro and the client was thrilled with the images

Another tower planning application about to be submitted.

I’m really looking forward to the Hotspur Press warehouse being redeveloped as part of the proposal.

Like many of you I’ve walked past it on numerous occasions looking at it and wishing a property developer would redevelop it.

The 578-bedroom student scheme is the London-based developer’s first foray into Manchester and comes five years after plans for a 171-home, 28-storey residential complex on the site were put forward.


Manner revealed its plans for the site in October and held a public consultation. Now, the developer has submitted a planning application to Manchester City Council.

FEC and Manchester City Council are aiming to stitch together a “patchwork quilt of land titles” to pave the way for the delivery of 1,551 homes off Dantzic Street.

The city council’s executive will meet this week to decide whether to authorise the use of compulsory purchase powers to rationalise the fractured land ownership within the seven-acre site.

FEC, which is leading the delivery of the £4bn Victoria North regeneration project, owns the majority of the land needed to develop the Dantzic Street residential scheme. However, some parcels are unregistered with no known legal owner, making the acquisition process trickier.

Slightly off topic, but a good programme on bbc1 tonight, "The Factory - Made in Manchester" an interesting watch.

In a refreshing change from recent profiles, Alan Yentob heads to Manchester for the opening of Factory International, one of the UK’s biggest cultural projects of recent times, at the city’s vast Aviva Studios. Factory International invokes both the city’s industrial heritage and the musical powerhouse of the 1980s that spawned Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays and the Hacienda. The opening production will be
Free Your Mind, a dance performance inspired by 1999’s prophetic film The Matrix and created by a diverse team directed by Danny Boyle.
The documentary touches upon architecture, art, music, history and performance, as well as the importance of inclusivity in a city built to a considerable extent on the profits of slavery and colonialism. Yentob also talks to a wide array of interested parties and assesses the impact of broken promises regarding Northern Powerhouses and levelling up. The wider point about the importance of arts and culture — especially during times of financial crisis — is unassailably made by footage from the thrillingly inventive Free Your Mind itself.

Had the misfortune of having to walk through that chanel shit show on Saturday, streets paved with rubbish and drugged up scruffy cunts kipping on tables.

But let's build high rises for rich people to live in cheek by jowl with the homeless and the poor.
