Given that councillors live in the city, can they not do site visits in their own time instead of wasting other people’s time and money just so they can have a day out?

Baffling that the Speakers House development has been knocked back yet utter rubbish like the 2-4 Whitworth approved, it’s an absolute shocker of a building.

So the best two schemes are deferred – laughable considering some of the rubbish that gets approved in Manchester. I am not buying this St Anne’s conservation area argument either, my guess would be it’s the residents in No1 Deansgate that are complaining, to which they have no right to. Don’t buy in the city centre if you don’t want development around you. I am sure if No1 was a block of council flats and not multimillion=pound apartments, this would be getting approved.
Developer – General Projects
Planner – Deloitte Real Estate
General Projects, a London-based developer that specialises in “creative modern marketplaces”, envisages a hub that would bring together more than 100 small-and-medium-sized businesses with larger, blue-chip companies.
The 325,000 sq ft scheme on Pollard Street would be the developer’s first in Manchester. Under the proposals, General Projects would construct five buildings containing a mix of office space ranging from micro-units to grade A ‘innovation’ offices, intended to appeal to ambitious start-ups, fast-growing SMEs and more established businesses.
The buildings would be located alongside the Ashton Canal and designed by architect Hawkins\Brown and landscape architect Planit-IE, with inspiration taken from Manchester’s heritage cotton and textile mills.
