As residents and the local community, we are opposed to Henley Investment Management’s plans to demolish Regent Retail Park’s shops in Ordsall, Salford and build 3,300 apartments due to:

• Increased pollution, disruption & congestion during 10 years of construction.
• Loss of well used, accessible & affordable shops and local jobs over this period.
• More luxury apartments without the affordable housing and family housing needed. 
•  The developer says they cannot contribute to the public transport, roads, schools, and GPs needed for the additional 4,600 residents due to the development’s high £1 billion cost.

The developers have not listened to the community and their needs or how the plans will be damaging to residents.  Their focus is to maximise their profit by building the tallest building outside London.  The application should be rejected as it does not provide sustainable development or regeneration for the future homes and local services that Salford needs.
