'This tower scheme is simply the wrong approach for this site. Shudehill is deeply linked to Manchester's industrial growth since the 18th and 19th centuries.'
They are either an integral part of the character of Manchester city centre or delapidated relics that should be bulldozed, depending on your point of view. But a tussle over the future of historic warehouses at Shudehill is about to begin.
SAVE raised concerns about the scheme back in April 2019. It is against the proposed demolition of four unlisted Victorian warehouses between Shudehill and Dantzic Street, and the partial demolition of the grade II listed 29 Shudehill. The group also objected to the new tower block of 175 flats proposed, all within the supposedly protected Shudehill Conservation Area.
Henrietta Billings, director of SAVE, said: "SAVE is pleased to support Manchester City Council’s robust case against this massive tower and slab scheme. The site’s Conservation Area location and historic warehouses offer a unique opportunity to regenerate this area with a high quality proposal for new development that works with the existing buildings instead of demolishing them. The current scheme is wrong footed – and should be rightly thrown out of any Conservation Area.
The developers say the scale and height of the scheme is necessary to make it profitable and that it takes its design cue from the nearby Glassworks tower, next the the Lower Turk pub near Shudehill Metrolink stop.
