The transformation of Pomona Island between the Bridgewater Canal and the Manchester Ship Canal\u00a0includes 2,600 new homes, new waterfront connections and more than half the site dedicated to new accessible public realm and green spaces<\/p>\n
Leigh Thomas, Development Director at Peel Waters, said: \u201cSubmitting the outline planning application is a significant step forward in delivering our vision for Manchester Waters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis masterplan will open up Pomona Island to the public for the first time in decades, creating a unique \u201cisland\u201d neighbourhood with parks and recreation space for future visitors, residents and workers to enjoy, whilst ensuring there is a housing option for all incomes and ages. With support from partners and stakeholders, over 1,000 of these much needed new homes could be completed at Manchester Waters in the next 5 years \u2013 which is a really exciting prospect.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Trafford Council added: \u201cManchester Waters is a key strategic site for Trafford Council and forms a large part of our plans to regenerate that particular area of the borough. We look forward to seeing how the application for development progresses.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
