Henley files plans for 3,300-home Regent Park in Salford
Henley Investment Management has submitted an outline planning application for a 3,300-home, mixed-use neighbourhood on the boundary of Salford and Manchester.
The plans have been submitted to Salford City Council to transform the 130,000 sq ft site at Regent Retail Park into a modern retail and residential neighbourhood. The site is designated as a “local centre” under Salford City Council’s planning policy, ensuring that a considerable amount of retail space is retained.
Henley said the proposed Regent Park scheme meets the retail and service needs of both existing and future residents and includes a diverse range of uses, contributing to a strong daytime and night-time economy.

The scheme includes 5 acres of public open space, with West Union Park at its heart, a 3.5-acre park accompanied by new children’s play space and a village square, able to host pop-up events.
Ian Rickwood, chief executive of Henley Investment Management, said: “Our vision is to create a new green and sustainable neighbourhood for Salford – one that meets the needs of future generations. Regent Park will deliver a new local centre for the area, with retail, community and green space at the heart of the plans. Our proposals will bring forward more and enhanced retail space, a new park and a village square, along with much-needed high-quality homes.
“We have undertaken extensive public consultation with the local community, stakeholders and the council, and we look forward to continuing to work together.”
