Manchester updates Cookson’s New Cross consent
Summary
Manchester City Council has approved revised plans for a build-to-rent residential scheme off Cross Quays Street, increasing the scheme from 99 homes to 104. The project, led by CERT Property and backed by Oliver Cookson, is expected to move toward a Gateway 2 submission in the coming months.
Why it matters
Residential surveyors should note the continued progression of a significant urban BTR scheme, particularly as it moves into the next regulatory stage. The involvement of multiple consultants and the Gateway 2 process may be relevant for due diligence, build quality oversight and compliance awareness.
Key points
- Revised plans for the New Cross scheme have been approved under delegated powers.
- The development now proposes 104 homes, up from the previously approved 99.
- The scheme is a build-to-rent mix of apartments and townhouses with one to three bedrooms.
