Plan which stalled three years ago is back on the table
A £250million plan to create a huge waterpark and wellbeing resort at the site of the former Events City at Trafford Park looks set for approval.
It was given the green light in March 2020 but the planning approval has expired so the project for the 28-acre site will go before councillors for a second time, but with modifications.The proposals still include a striking, largely glazed main building which would house a variety of health and wellbeing facilities, including swimming pools, saunas, treatment rooms and waterslides
Four objections to the plan have been submitted to the council. These include fears over increased traffic and its disruption to nearby businesses; submissions that the filter for turning into Mercury Way from Barton Dock Road is not large enough; that the car park should be sited where the Event City parking was originally located; and objections to the use of Mercury Way for parking with a drop-off point.
However, the scheme has been recommended for approval by Trafford’s planning officers, who have cited the creation of 1,320 construction jobs and a further 670 permanent full-time jobs once it is open.
