Salford council has agreed a plan to build nearly 100 new homes in the city. A new 'affordable housing scheme' will see a total of 90 homes built at Regents Industrial Estate near Islington Mill, as part of a deal between the council and English Cities Fund.
The land was bought by Salford council in 2008 to support regeneration works in the city. A provisional funding allocation for the work has been secured from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority's Brownfield Housing Fund.
The new homes will be bought by Dérive - a housing firm owned by the town hall. The scheme includes 27 townhouses and 63 apartments built to a “Passivhaus certified” low carbon specification.

Salford's deputy city mayor noted the provisionally agreed terms of the agreement at a town hall meeting on July 8.
At the same meeting, councillors agreed to approve the sale of 18 houses to Dérive on the former Harrop Fold school site on Longshaw Drive in Little Hulton.
