I’ve received a number of calls and letters from local residents in Stanley Road and St George’s Crescent about planning application 08/56900/FUL, which is for a four-storey block of speculative office accomadation on land to the west of Stanley Road and north of the railway line.
Residents are rightly concerned about the sheer size of the proposed development which is likely to result in a severe loss of amenity for those residents in St George’s Crescent next to the application site. There are also reservations over parking and traffic, which already cause considerable problems for the community in central Walkden. I’m also uncomfortable about the presence of disused mineshafts in the vicinity of the site and have asked the planning officers to look into this further.
If you are reading this and are interested in viewing the planning documents, you can do so via Public Access - search for the planning application reference which is 08/56900/FUL. You can submit comments on Public Access, via the form on the Council website or by e-mailing planning.contact@salford.gov.uk.
