A new 18-story tower block will be built in Salford after plans were given planning permission by the council.The new build-to-rent development is next to the River Irwell with homes spread across two blocks of differing heights and is expected to be managed by a single landlord.
Furious residents opposed the plan, warning that it could harm the community and drive up rent prices. "It would be a staggering dereliction of duty to approve a housing development of this size that did not include any affordable homes." "There should be affordable houses on this site. I totally and utterly cannot accept this development."Coun Roseanna Wain agreed the tower block would be 'out of character' with neighbourhood and said the number of objections showed there was 'no support for this within our community'.The site is near the Bridgewater Community Garden, which locals said is a vital asset for the community which could be lost without enough light.
He said once built it would generate £4.2min council tax over the next ten years, and provide a boost to the economy when new residents spend money at local businesses and services.
