Allied London has tweaked plans for its mixed-use London Road Fire Station scheme in Manchester, shrinking the amount of hotel rooms to make way for more office space.
Consent was granted in 2017 by Manchester City Council for Allied to redevelop the 100,000 sq ft Grade II listed building into a mixed-use scheme, including more than 74,600 sq ft of hotel space (91 bedrooms), some 36,100 sq ft of retail space, and more than 8,568 sq ft of office space (including 21,000 sq ft of living or work space).
Now the developer has lodged plans to “fine tune” the approved scheme “in response to new operators and market conditions”, according to the planning statement, which Allied says will “result in lesser interventions to the heritage asset”.
