A new housing estate with 485 homes is due to be approved by Salford City Council next week, in plans which include improvements to Clarendon Park. Plans by developers Lovell Partnerships and SP+ could create the new site between Churchill Way and Liverpool Street, with council officers recommending the application is approved. The land is currently occupied by 'poorly maintained roads and footpaths' and was previously the site of a 1960s residential development, which has now been largely demolished, save for a terrace of houses.

The planned estate by Churchill Way will be a mix of two, three and four-bed houses, along with one and two-bed apartments. A total of 30 percent of the proposed homes will be classed as 'affordable' housing, priced below market rates, with an over 55’s block planned in one of the apartment buildings.
Proposals include improvements to Clarendon Park. More than 600 spaces will be created for car parking, 212 on plots for the houses and 187 off plot allocated spaces. The apartments will get 118 spaces for the and 115 unallocated spaces across the site.
