The city council lost a legal battle over its decision to build a 440-space temporary car park as part of its Central Retail Park masterplan but has said the ruling will not impact the future of its 1m sq ft proposal.
The Trees Not Cars lobby group had challenged Manchester City Council’s 2019 decision to grant itself planning permission to build the car park next to a primary school on part of the 10.5-acre plot on the edge of Ancoats and New Islington, and its founder Gemma Cameron brought a judicial review.
The campaigner successfully argued that the council had failed to consider the impacts of a car park on air quality and pollution levels and volume of traffic in the local area. A total of 12,000 people signed Trees Not Cars’ petition against the plans as the group lobbied for 18 months for the decision to be overturned.

The city council said its quest to halve its direct carbon emissions by 2025 is on track almost a year after it adopted an “ambitious” action plan, but the strategy faced challenges due to Covid-19.
The Climate Change Action Plan 2020-25, adopted last March, set out measures Manchester City Council would take to halve the carbon emissions from its buildings, energy use and transport from around 30,000 tonnes a year in 2019/20 to 15,000 tonnes a year in 2024/25.
The targets were based on a 13% year-on-year reduction trajectory. Figures at the time showed that the council’s direct CO2 emissions had fallen by 54.7% between 2009/10 and 2019/20.
