Alma House 151 Great Ducie Street, Cheetham Hill, Manchester, England, M3 1FB

2025 Regeneration Framework
Strangeways & Cambridge Consultation Draft - February 2025
LONG-TERM DIRECTION
Prepared jointly by Manchester City Council and Salford City Council, the draft SRF is intended to guide development and
investment across the area over a 20-30 year period.
CITY-CENTRE MIX
The framework recognises the potential for a city-centre mix in the southern Great Ducie Street area, including new housing,
improved employment space, start-up space and other appropriate city-centre uses subject to wider policy.
DUTTON STREET / GREAT DUCIE STREET
The Dutton Street strategy builds on the 2018 Great Ducie Street SRF and envisages an active city-centre mixed-use area
with more residents, new workspace, strong development frontages and improved connectivity.
SCALE & MASSING
For the wider Dutton Street area the framework identifies potential for heights above 15 storeys, including moments around
30 storeys in appropriate locations. Heights are indicative and must respond to context, heritage, amenity, microclimate and
detailed planning assessment.
EMPLOYMENT REMAINS IMPORTANT
The strategy supports regeneration while retaining and enhancing the economic role of the area. A future scheme should
therefore consider an appropriate mix of employment and other uses rather than assume a wholly residential outcome.
