Salford Council discussed the plans for Ralli Quays at this morning’s planning panel meeting (Thursday January 20) and granted permission for the plans, despite 123 letters of objection being received regarding the proposals.

Council officers recommended the application for approval before discussion began. The sticking point of the application proved to be that the proposals also threaten a 300-year-old right of way alongside the River Irwell, which would in effect be erased by the new development.
