Manchester residents are being invited to an exhibition to see proposals for a landmark scheme to help revitalise Fallowfield Triangle and bring more jobs to the area.

Great Placing Housing Group and supermarket chain Aldi will be submitting a planning application to Manchester City Council next week for the Fallowfield Triangle, a shopping and business area which lies between Lloyd Street South and Platt Lane.

The application will be twofold. Aldi is applying for a new 1364 sq m store and a secure community car park with 71 spaces. Great Places Housing Group has submitted proposals for nearly 30 new homes and apartments for rent or for sale.


The plans have emerged from a feasibility study commissioned by Manchester City Council to examine the future potential of Fallowfield Triangle which was carried out by the Great Places Housing Group.

Now, residents are invited to see and comment on the new plans for the area at an exhibition at Fallowfield Library, where Aldi staff will be able to talk about potential jobs and architects from Great Places Housing Group will answer questions about the proposed Richard Cowell, Executive Member for the Environment at Manchester City Council, said: "We need to ensure the long-term future of the Fallowfield Triangle and that means making sustainable improvements and not just cosmetic changes. We want to see traders and residents benefit from more customers attracted by news services and quality new homes. The exhibition at Fallowfield Library gives local people the chance to have a voice in the planning consultation and development of their area."

Fallowfield Triangle is identified in Manchester City Council's Central Manchester Regeneration Framework, a plan guiding improvements to the wider area, as one of central Manchester's priority neighbourhoods.
