Scoping Stretford Mall

The developers for Stretford Mall and Lacy Street, Trafford Bruntwood, have submitted a scoping report request.

The nature of the development in our town centre makes it a requirement to submit an Environmental Impact Assessment with the planning application.

This scoping request is a preliminary exercise to tease out the subject matter that will need to be included within the Environmental Impact Assessment.

Whilst a scoping request is not particularly noteworthy in itself, the description submitted in terms of the plan for Stretford is exciting:

• Demolition of selected buildings on site;
• Up to 800 residential dwellings (Use Class C3);
• Up to 13,000sqm mixed retail and commercial uses(Use Class E);
• Up to 2,800 sqm public house / drinking establishment / Takeaways / Theatres / Cinemas / Cafes (Sui Generis);
• Up to 720 sqm of learning and non-learning institutions (Use Class F1);
• Up to 2400 sqm for local community uses (Use Class F2)
• Public realm;
• Landscaping; and
• Associated infrastructure.
