1.0 DETAIL OF THE REPORT
2003/06 HMR Programme
1.1 In October 2003 the Manchester Salford Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder applied for
£113M from ODPM to tackle low demand housing and market collapse across the four
areas of Central Salford and North, East and South Manchester. £43.8M was targeted
towards Central Salford helping to support primarily the key regeneration areas of
Seedley & Langworthy, Broughton and North Irwell (New Deal for Communities area).
1.2 The key priorities for the MSP were to:
Develop high quality, mixed tenure neighbourhoods of choice, based on sustainable
urban densities that support a broad range of services;
Integrate and align both public and private sector investment, to ensure key
neighbourhood services such as schools and health services underpin areas where
new housing is being developed;
Secure population and household growth through increasing the pace, scale, type and
quality of new housing development; and
Reduce out-migration and attract new residents through changing perceptions of the
Pathfinder as a place to live.
1.3 These priorities were to be supported by the long-term investment plans for social
housing, providing high quality housing for rent and supporting the improvement and
diversification of neighbourhoods.
The framework for intervention/investment across the MSP
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 2 of 22
1.4 The investment framework was based around 7 interventions focused on a number of
key neighbourhoods across the MSP. These interventions were:
Strategic Site Assembly e.g. site assembly and acquisition;
Development – supporting new build activity and gap funding;
Private Rented Sector – supporting effective management and preparing for landlord
licensing;
Registered Social Landlords – supporting RSL activity;
Home Improvements – refurbishment activity to support the market;
Supporting Home Ownership – developing new and innovative products for home
owners;
Sustaining Neighbourhoods – encouraging effective neighbourhood management.
1.4 The initial area allocations included within the 1st Prospectus are outlined in the Tables

the four areas as a whole. These additional monies have been allocated across the 7
interventions over the 3 years of the programme.
Anticipated achievements during 2003/06
1.7 Delivering the targets set out in the 1st Prospectus (2003/06) has been challenging and a
great deal of innovative work has been nationally acclaimed by ODPM. Developments are
ongoing across Central Salford‟s neighbourhoods, with the continued assembly of land
and finalisation of plans for the construction of quality and affordable new housing
developments where the market was previously failing:
Urban Splash is now commencing its innovative conversion of former terraced
properties in Seedley & Langworthy;
Countryside Properties is finalising plans for the redevelopment of Lower Broughton,
as is a partnership of Bovis, Royal Bank of Scotland, InPartnership Limited, City Spirit
and Taylor Woodrow in Higher Broughton;
Opus Developments in North Irwell have been appointed as the redevelopment
partner working alongside the NDC partnership to build over 3000 new homes.
1.8 Across the area Housing Market Renewal funds are continuing the delivery of projects
that are making a visible difference to existing residents‟ lives – such as home
improvements, environmental improvements, community safety initiatives and
neighbourhood management – that will sustain and improve local neighbourhoods and
perceptions of them.
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 4 of 22
1.9 Over the past year the Pathfinder has implemented an
2003/06 Achievements
extensive Research, Foresight and Information (RFI)
programme to improve our ability to understand, analyse 414 new homes built in
and monitor the key drivers affecting the housing markets Enterprise Park &
in our area. In tandem with the RFI work the Pathfinder has Quays / 476 new
also invested in a Geographic Information System (GIS) – homes built in Chapel
Street
Tracking Neighbourhood Change – to enable the Pathfinder
260 homes refurbished
to track the impact of HMRF, other housing related in Claremont and
investment, and regeneration investment on the Weaste / 229
performance of neighbourhoods across the Pathfinder and refurbished in Seedley
& Langworthy
beyond. This system has created the capacity to assess not
717 properties
only impacts but also to evaluate changes in the wider demolished in
housing market and we intend to make full use of it to help Broughton / 270
fine tune our investment strategy as our programme moves demolished in
Pendleton
forward.
1.10 Appendix 1 outlines in detail the projected spend by area for the 2003/06 focused on
the private sector housing capital programme.
Anticipated key outputs for 2003/06 period are:

2.0 2nd Prospectus – Scheme Update 2006 onwards
2.1 Pathfinders were invited to submit updated plans for HMR covering the period 2006 –
2008 and beyond and ODPM indicated that the MSP should work within a financial
envelope of £65M - £110M for the two year period 2006 – 2008.
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 5 of 22
2.2 The MSP submitted its Scheme Update in October 2005 requesting £110M for the
2006/08 period and £224,998 for 2008/11 period – amounting to a total of £334,998M.
This updated strategy reflected key evidence and findings undertaken through the
Research, Foresight & Intelligence (RFI)
programme and the lessons learned during
the early stages of implementation.
2.3 Discussions are currently taking place with
OPDM and the Audit Commission, both of
whom are scrutinising the submission in
detail, with formal feedback expected in
the next month or so.
2.4 A new Integrated Secretariat Team has
been established comprising postholders
from both Cities to co-ordinate the MSP
programme. Premises on the Salford side
of the Irwell are being sought to house the
joint team.
2.4 The updated strategic framework for HMR
intervention set out in the Scheme Update
focuses on the creation of
„Neighbourhoods of Choice‟ and geographical and thematic targeting of spend is based
on:
A set of Major Investment Areas (MIAs) where substantial investment is planned to
transform neighbourhoods;
A set of interventions in neighbourhoods were conditions are poor but market
collapse is not so extensive (Areas of Stabilisation);
A private rented sector plan covering the entirety of the MSP boundary that will
address the quality and role of private rented accommodation;
Delivery and management costs focused on supporting area based delivery teams and
a joint Integrated Secretariat Team brought together to co-ordinate and manage the
investment.
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 6 of 22
HMR Programme for Central Salford 2006 onwards
2.5 There has been agreement between the two cities that future allocations of HMR from
2008 onwards will be based on levels of deprivation outlined in the Index of Multiple
Deprivation 2004. For 2006/08 Salford will be allocated 36% of the net total HMR
monies, and from 2008/09 onwards this will reduce to 30% annually based on the IMD.
Should £110M be secured for 2006/08, Salford‟s allocation will be £35.4M.
2.6 The Major Investment Areas (MIAs) in Salford are:
Seedley & Langworthy
Higher Broughton
Lower Broughton
North Irwell (NDC area of Charlestown and Lower Kersal)
2.7 Areas of Stabilisation are Ordsall, Claremont & Weaste and Enterprise Park.
2.8 The levels of funding expected for each of these areas is set out below (subject to slight
amendments dependent on re-profiling in line with ODPM feedback:

2.11 The focus on strategic investment (e.g. site assembly and acquisition) and developer
support – gap funding to support new housing developments such as the Urban Splash
scheme in Seedley and Langworthy is, Salford believes, the most effective way of
supporting transformational strategies in Central Salford. The majority of home
improvements/refurbishments are, therefore, focused in Manchester HMR areas.
2.12 Details of the investments and priorities within the MIAs and areas of stabilisation are
included in Appendix 2.
2.13 Moving forward the next steps are:
To ensure that the scale of investment and transformation is delivered in our key
neighbourhoods, demonstrating to both our residents and external partners of
Salford‟s capacity to deliver;

To secure longer term funds through the market renewal programme. ODPM are only
likely to approve two years HMR funding to 2008 – the next tranche of funding will be
dependent on the outcome of the Comprehensive Spending Review in 2008;
To ensure that the HMR programme continues to be integrated fully within key
strategies to ensure consistency of approach and maximise benefit to local people.
3.0 How the Pathfinder contributes to regeneration regionally and locally
The role and importance of MSP to the conurbation core
3.1 The first two years of MSP activity have seen a significant shift in awareness about the
role and importance of the core of the MSP area to the wider economic performance of
the North West. While the policy context provides a dynamic landscape, these
developments all combine to reinforce both the strategic case for the prioritisation of
regeneration in the MSP area, and the increasing support for this among a wide range of
regional and sub-regional partners and stakeholders.
3.2 The Northern Way Growth Strategy (NWGS), published in September 2004, articulated the
challenge of bridging the gap in economic output between the three northern regions
and the rest of the UK, to the benefit both of the national economy and to the quality of
life and opportunity of northerners, and called for a clear focus on this goal in effectively
aligned regional strategies. NWGS identified eight City Regions as key to the acceleration
of economic growth, with the Manchester City Region providing the greatest opportunity,
and in June 2005, each city region published its plans for growth in a City Region
Development Programme (CRDP).
3.3 The Manchester City Region Development Programme (CRDP) focuses action on the six
key sectors which offer the greatest opportunity to accelerate growth, but identifies the
wide economic and spatial disparities within the City Region as a key challenge, and the
current housing offer as a constraint on overall performance. It identifies the need for
action to spread economic success more widely in order to optimise the City Region‟s
contribution, and seeks to achieve a balanced approach between exploiting the existing
asset base and achieving the regeneration of deprived communities. In particular, the
CRDP highlights the need to guide economic and residential development towards the
inner areas and the northern parts of the City Region.
3.4 Against the backdrop of Northern Way Growth Strategy and the CRDPs, the northern
regions have embarked on reviews of all the main regional strategies. Stakeholders in the
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 9 of 22
Manchester City Region are consistently arguing for a clear, joined-up, economic and
spatial focus within all the strategies, and for greater coherence to strategy at sub-
regional level.
3.5 The Regional Economic Strategy (RES) for the North West maintains a clear focus on
increasing economic output and the reduction of regional disparities. The Regional
Spatial Strategy for the North West (RSS) is also currently under review, and will be a
statutory document which forms part of the Local Development Plan for each local
planning authority within the North West, and, as such, will be a consideration in
determining planning applications.
3.6 The HMR programme is integral to supporting these key strategies and is informing their
priorities in order to ensure complementarity at the regional and sub-regional levels.
The role and importance of HMR within Salford
3.7 One of the key strengths of the Manchester Salford HMR programme (recognised by both
Audit Commission and ODPM during their scrutiny of the 1st Prospectus) is its positioning
within the context of wider strategic regeneration frameworks within both Cities,
complementing and delivering key strands of Community Plans, Neighbourhood Renewal
Strategies and Area Based Strategic Regeneration Frameworks. In recognition of this, the
significance of HMR grant is always represented within the totality of other housing and
regeneration investment across the Pathfinder.
3.8 The HMR programme is an integral part of the key strategies and policies that drive
Salford‟s regeneration agenda:
The HMR programme informs the Community Plan theme „A City That‟s Good to Live
In‟ establishing broad targets and milestones that will be scrutinised by Partners IN
Salford;
Salford‟s Housing, Neighbourhood Renewal and Economic Development strategies all
reflect the geographical and thematic priorities contained with the HMR programme;
HMR targets for reducing empty private sector properties have been included within
Salford‟s LPSAII agreement with Government;
HMR is integral to the delivery of the Central Salford Vision and Regeneration
Framework identifying priority areas for the URC including the Chapel St Corridor
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 10 of 22
from Pendleton to the Regional Centre and the Irwell Corridor from the Quays through
Ordsall to the Regional Centre and up to Higher Broughton. The Framework also
identifies all of the HMR Central Salford priority neighbourhoods adjacent to the
Chapel St Corridor and within the Irwell Corridor as residential areas that can become
neighbourhoods of choice for existing and incoming families.
4.0 Links between the HMR programme and Economic Development
4.1 The Economic Development Strategy aims to set out the main economic development
activities to be pursued by Partners IN Salford between 2004 and 2007. These activities
aim to provide a seamless service that will secure the economic potential for people,
communities and businesses in Salford.
The strategy will progress three key themes to economic development:
Theme 1 – Encouraging investment in Salford
Theme 2 – Supporting business development
Theme 3 – Enabling local people to fulfill their full potential
4.2 These themes are key areas of activity and provide the foundations for the work of the
Salford Construction Partnership particularly Theme 3 – „Enabling local people to achieve
their full potential‟.
4.3 Enabling local people to achieve their full potential
This theme is dedicated to boosting peoples aspirations, raising their achievement and
improving their access to job and training opportunities through up-skilling and re-
skilling, particularly, for those sections of the population which have been excluded from
the job market or marginalized within it.
4.4 Salford Construction Partnership
Salford is a national pathfinder project area for the government‟s Housing Market
Renewal Fund (HMRF), which means that the city is set to benefit from extensive
investment in housing renovation and re-building over the next 10 years. The Salford
Construction Partnership (SCP) was formed in December 2002 in response to the local
employment opportunities that will be created through the significant investment
planned in the Salford area.
The partnership is committed to working with key local construction employers to meet
future requirements in terms of skills, shortages, availability of local labour, industry
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 11 of 22
needs, training requirements, and to develop a co-ordinated approach for supporting
Salford residents and businesses. Through the implementation group the successes
during 2004/05 have been:
4.5 Salford Construction Partnership Skills Register
Salford Jobcentre Plus has begun to build a database/skills register of Salford residents
interested in employment in the construction industry and have worked hand in hand
with Connexions to gain details of young people to include on the data base. Salford
College has provided details of construction course completers and those nearing
completion who are “work ready” or are looking for work experience opportunities, and
Salford Employment Charter has also provided details of its construction employees who
have benefited from assistance into construction employment and training through the
Local Labour into Construction project delivered on behalf of Salford City Council by
Employment Regeneration Partnership.
As at the end of December 2005 there are now 238 Salford residents of working age
registered on the Salford Construction Partnership database/skills register.
4.6 Links with Construction Employers
SCP has focused in the first instance in working with Salford City Councils first two
appointed construction partners (Seddon Construction and Cruden Limited) who have
been appointed in an innovative new partnering arrangement with SCC to undertake
construction work, including Housing Market Renewal Funding (HMRF) for contracts
between £500,000 and £5 million over the next 5 years. Seddon and Cruden are actively
engaged in the SCP Implementation Group to advise and assist partners with the
development of partnership offer and are signed up to ensure that all employment and
training opportunities generated through their procurement partnering arrangement with
SCC will go in the first instance to the SCP. This approach will ensure that local people
are given the earliest chance to apply for jobs and training opportunities as they arise.
There have been 279 Salford residents supported into construction related employment
via partners involved in the Salford Construction Partnership between April 2004 and
December 2005.
4.7 Cruden and Seddon
Cruden and Seddon have also been instrumental in assisting SCP in the design of a
bespoke basic level construction course for local people including unemployed adults
and young people at risk of social exclusion who are not in education, employment or
training (NEET). The aim of the course is to provide a credible route way for people with
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 12 of 22
little or no experience in the industry to gain labouring opportunities or to provide a step
into first level training.
4.8 Salford Construction Partnership Protocol
A protocol was developed in 2004-5, which formally acknowledges the commitment and
support given by key partners involved in the Salford Construction Partnership (SCP). It
embraces the Government‟s social inclusion agenda by maximising the employment
opportunities of local residents into local labour within the construction industry. It will
be launched next year.
4.9 Construction Training
The Salford Construction Partnership aims to identify and address skills gaps within the
construction industry. The partnership has focused its efforts in 2004-5 in developing
an innovative new course which aims to give unemployed Salford people the tools of the
trade to help regenerate their city.
The six-week construction course delivered by Salford College on behalf of the Salford
Construction Partnership offered training in basic construction skills, work experience
with contractors on completion and the opportunity to gain full-time employment.
Funded jointly by the Learning and Skills Council, Jobcentre Plus and Cruden and Seddon,
the course seeks both to increase local job opportunities generated by large-scale
redevelopment in the city, while also helping plug the skills gap within the construction
industry. The vision is a strengthened local economy and a greater sense of community
pride with local people taking ownership of projects. As a direct result 7 trainees who
completed the course moved into full-time sustainable employment with SCP employers.
A further £65,000 funding has been secured through the Greater Manchester Learning
and Skills Council‟s European Social Fund Co-financing Programme, to broker and deliver
five 8-week employer-led bespoke „Introduction to Construction Employment‟ vocational
courses for 90 local residents from the most deprived neighbourhoods of Salford over
the next 2 years. In addition the SCP will also support the STEP 1 pilot programme which
aims to raise the skill levels of socially excluded Salford residents over the next 12
months through a waged ILM programme with local RSL partners to refurbish void
properties.
There have been 154 Salford residents benefiting from apprenticeship jobs with training
brokered with the support of partners involved in the Salford Construction Partnership
between April 2004 and December 2005.
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 13 of 22
4.10 Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (2006/08)
Salford City Council's Economic Development Section, have been awarded
Neighbourhood Renewal Funding (2006/08) to „Maximising Local Construction
Employment Benefit through Large Scale Planned Investment‟. Salford Construction
Partnership propose to use the £235,000 NRF (2006/08) allocation to fund a dedicated
construction team to co-ordinate the continued mainstream commitment and support of
existing partners to deliver joint initiatives for the benefit of employers and residents as
outlined within the Salford Construction Partnership Business Plan.
4.11 Evaluation of Section 106 Agreements
In February 2005 the BE Group were appointed on behalf of the Economic Development
Section at Salford City Council (SCC) to examine Local Authority good practice across the
country in using S106 Agreements, and to identify appropriate delivery mechanisms that
embrace social inclusion. The evaluation will make recommendations for developing a
consistent corporate response that focuses on the needs of Salford residents and
maximises employment and training opportunities.

APPENDIX 2
The following highlights the investment strategy major investment areas (MIAs) and areas of
stabilisation across Central Salford through the HMR programme:
SEEDLEY & LANGWORTHY
A masterplan, the „Development Strategy for Seedley and Langworthy‟ was approved in January 2001 and
was adopted as the neighbourhood plan for the area following extensive consultation with local people.
The plan vision is to re-create a sustainable residential area. The key elements of intervention progressed
within the context of the area‟s masterplan are:
Award winning developer Urban Splash will commence a truly innovative scheme to transform 385
Victorian terraced houses at the heart of the area into 365 contemporary affordable homes.
In addition to new properties, 650 existing, predominantly terraced properties will be improved.
Manchester Methodist Housing Association will progress the re-development and/or remodelling of a
number of the housing sites.
An extensive programme of home improvements building on the work undertaken in Langworthy
North, Seedley West and west of Seedley Park Road. This work has been ongoing as part of a rolling
programme since 2001and over 600 homes have now been improved.
Environmental improvements will be undertaken within Chimney Pot Park.
HIGHER BROUGHTON
Between 2001 and 2003 a Neighbourhood Renewal Assessment (NRA) was commenced in Higher
Broughton. The NRA and associated consultation with residents established that comprehensive
clearance and redevelopment was needed. This led to the Higher Broughton Masterplanning and
Visioning work and to the production of Supplementary Planning Guidance in September 2003.
Alongside formulation of the Strategy, a partnership of the Royal Bank of Scotland, InPartnership Limited,
City Spirit, Taylor Woodrow and Salford City Council was put in place to take the regeneration forward.
Comprehensive clearance in the Broughton Green area is considered necessary to remove the impact of
empty and vandalised properties upon the image of the area and create a site capable of the scale of
transformation required to create a self-sustaining housing market.
The strategy for the MIA not covered by Broughton Green will be developed further by the conduct of a
further NRA during 2005 and the declaration of a Neighbourhood Renewal Area. This will inform the
precise nature of interventions and investment to sustain the neighbourhood surrounding the Broughton
Green development.
Key elements of the market renewal strategy include:
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 17 of 22
The redevelopment of a 15-hectare site that will involve clearance of approximately 600 properties,
mainly pre-1919 terraced stock. Plans have been drawn up to redevelop the area with modern
housing, including affordable homes, together with community facilities in a community hub and
replacement recreational facilities. The scheme will provide 700 new, predominantly family houses
and apartments, over a 7-year period, supported by £88 million private sector investment.
Purchasing land and properties together with demolition and clearance for the purpose of creating the
15 acre development site.
The remediation of the 2.64 acre Northumberland Street Playing Fields site to address site
contamination issues.
A Home Swap scheme will enable existing residents to design their new properties and buy them at
an estimated market value discount of up to 20% with HMRF providing equity loans to residents to
facilitate them taking up ownership.
In addition to new properties existing, predominantly terraced, properties will be refurbished to help
sustain the surrounding residential areas.
LOWER BROUGHTON
The Lower Broughton Regeneration Partnership (LBRP) involving members of the community is leading the
regeneration and transformation of Lower Broughton. The initial Business Plan and draft Delivery
Framework addresses the key issue of tackling the overwhelmingly public sector tenure skew and
radically restructuring the housing market. This will be achieved by an expanded housing choice and
attracting new residents by concentrating the first phase of new development on the large areas of vacant
land in the area, and on the clearance and redevelopment of the poor quality social rented stock for new
mixed income residential development with a focus on family accommodation.
A draft Supplementary Planning Document has been produced for adoption by Salford City Council in
order to establish exemplary design principles for the regeneration of the area.
Key interventions include:
The MIA aims to provide a net gain of 2,500 new properties to create population density which
will sustain local services and new shopping facilities by attracting a range of residents and
raising income levels in the area.
Expanding housing choice through concentrating phase 1 of new development on existing vacant
land and the clearance and redevelopment of poor quality social rented stock, focusing on new
family accommodation.
C:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\d641ae2d-24c6-4bf0-8e48-7cb88f6256a2.DOC Page 18 of 22
HMR funding will assist existing occupiers whose houses are demolished to stay in the area via
relocation packages and the LBRP will develop affordable housing provision to increase the
number of home owners through the provision of suitable schemes.
A new community led neighbourhood management structure will be developed and introduced in
the area.
Comprehensive development of the area will bring forward environmental and infrastructure
improvements, ensuring better connection throughout the area, to the Regional Centre, the river
and neighbouring communities.
The market renewal programme will also attract external funding to assist in achieving a
sustainable social rented housing market, predominantly from Coutour Housing Group, Salford
City Council‟s lead RSL partner in the area, and the Housing Corporation via the Affordable
Housing Programme.
NORTH IRWELL – NEW DEAL FOR COMMUNITIES AREA OF CHARLESTOWN & LOWER
KERSAL
The NDC Development Framework addresses the key issue of expanded housing choice and attracting
new residents by concentrating on: clearance and redevelopment of significant tracts of land along the
River Irwell for new mixed income residential development for families; improvements to existing private
sector housing; and comprehensive treatment of areas to upgrade the environment, security and street
scene.
Opus Developments has been selected as the preferred developer to bring forward key sites for
development.
Key interventions include:
Purchasing land and properties for the purpose of creating development sites. Over 24 hectares of
land will be cleared for a range of developments including housing, open space, local shops and
community facilities.
Acquisition of strategic sites that are at the gateway of the area and link to major regeneration
projects such as Pendleton Gateway remodelling, Pendleton Church area redevelopment (for
housing), the Bury Bolton Canal reopening and development of former industrial areas for
housing.
Completion of extensive home improvement programmes at Littleton Road and Arrowhead.

AREAS OF STABILISATION
In other areas, relatively small scale investment is required in order to consolidate programmes of activity
which are already beginning to turn around housing markets and neighbourhood conditions, in order to
ensure that this intervention is sustainable in the longer term and has a maximum impact on the area and
the surrounding housing markets.
Ordsall falls into this category where the aim is to consolidate investment and provide additional sites to
be marketed for redevelopment during 2006/08. Market confidence in the area has improved
significantly with both the LPC Living and Bellway schemes helping to diversify tenure and increase
residential choice in the area. HMR activity will be focused on the Knowsley Green acquisition scheme
where a 0.3 hectare site, adjacent to the proposed new primary school, will provide the impetus for new
build family housing in the area.
