in Varley Street, Miles Platting<\/h2>\n<p>Subject to approval, <a href=\"https:\/\/democracy.manchester.gov.uk\/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=151&amp;MId=3499&amp;Ver=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the planned schemes<\/a> would generate thousands of new jobs, both permanent and construction and supply chain jobs \u2013 and provide much-needed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/manchester-affordable-homes\/62837\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new housing in the city<\/a>, including affordable homes.<\/p>\n<p>It is estimated that in total the schemes being considered would directly create or support more than 1,300 permanent jobs, more than 200 apprenticeships and thousands more construction industry and supply chain roles.<\/p>\n<p>Local labour agreements would ensure that many of these roles are specifically targeted at Manchester residents.<\/p>\n<h3>Affordable housing<\/h3>\n<p>The schemes include new affordable housing \u2013 72 homes in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/lovell-gtl-fuel\/64129\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miles Platting scheme<\/a> (36 shared ownership and 36 affordable rent, to be managed by a registered social housing provider) and 5% of properties within this phase of the Northern Gateway scheme.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that other parts of the Northern Gateway scheme, such as Collyhurst phase one \u2013 where 130 out of up to 300 news will be for social rent have higher concentrations of affordable housing.<\/p>\n<h3>Real homes and real opportunities<\/h3>\n<p>Council leader, Sir Richard Leese, said: \u201cThe fact that these schemes are being brought forward represents a remarkable statement of confidence in Manchester at a time of major national economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is important not just as a reassurance but as something which would translate into real jobs, real homes and real opportunities for Manchester people, helping to support the city\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/construction-technology-news\/clean-recovery-construction\/81197\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">economic recovery<\/a> from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once completed it is anticipated that these schemes would\u00a0generate more than \u00a3115m per year in extra spending within the local economy and add more than \u00a36.5m a year in business rates and council tax income to help support services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Major
