5. History of our site
180
• The site was founded as
Strangeways Brewery in 1778, primarily
serving the cotton workers of
Manchester.
• In 1853, Henry Boddington took
full ownership of the brewery,
naming it Boddingtons Brewery.
• It became the biggest brewery
in Manchester, producing 100,000
barrels of Boddingtons bitter a year.
• Production ended in 2005. It was
used temporarily as a night club,
The Warehouse Project, in 2006,
then demolished around 2007.
• The remaining iconic brick chimney
was demolished in 2010.
• Latimer purchased the site in June 2021.

12. We are responding to identified local housing needs
• In 2016, Manchester City Council endorsed the Residential Growth
Strategy alongside the Housing Affordability Policy Framework. These
documents set out the aim to increase the proportion of homes
affordable to Manchester Residents. The ambition is to deliver 6,400
homes between 2015 and 2025.
• In January 2021 Manchester City Council published an update on the
Residential Growth Strategy. This noted the waiting list had become
more serious for affordable housing during the pandemic so at this
point made a further commitment to engage with housing providers.
• In April 2021 the Greater Manchester Combined Authority identified a
significant waiting list for affordable housing in Manchester.
• The Draft Places For Everyone document sets an annual average target
of 3,533 new homes in Manchester between 2021 and 2037. In this
time the ambition is to deliver at least 50,000 affordable homes across
Greater Manchester. This will help to deliver inclusive growth and
enhance the economic productivity of Manchester.

15. A mix of housing tenures across the site
Latimer will provide a high
number of affordable housing
on this site.
This will include:
• Social rent: Residents pay the
government prescribed rent levels.
• Shared ownership: Residents purchase
a share of the property and pay a
subsidised rent on the rest. They can
buy a larger share at a later date or sell
and move on.
The number of homes targeted for the site
is approximately 440.

16. Making green spaces a key feature
• Green space is vitally important to
wellbeing and healthy living. The
scheme will incorporate a
landscaped courtyard accessible
to the public and a walking route
through the site.
• The green roof terrace will enhance the
local ecology and encourage biodiversity.
• It will be an attractive setting
with tree-lined pavements.
• High quality trees will be planted.

20. Benefits and opportunities for local communities
• The community will be able to enjoy access to the proposed
commercial units, we anticipate these to include a café and
various shops.
• Creating inclusive spaces for the whole community:
• New public landscaped courtyard
• A new tree lined street towards The Manchester College
• Helping reduce our environmental impact:
• Net Zero carbon compatible homes, supplied with
renewable energy
• Electric charging points for cars
• Encouraging walking and cycling
• Sustainable urban drainage solutions (SUDs) to mitigate
the effects of climate change

21. Our approach to working with communities
For each project we actively consult, research and engage to
identify and deliver locally specific objectives covering social,
economic and environmental issues. We identify opportunities
which encourage local collaboration and a joined-up approach.
We welcome your thoughts and ideas on how we could work with
the local community in Manchester.
This could include opportunities through:
• Training and employment.
• Health and wellbeing.
• Social isolation and loneliness.
• Youth engagement and education programmes.
• Homelessness.
• Environmental enhancement.
• Business support.
• Arts spaces.
• Charity support.

22. Examples of community relationship building
We want to build strong community relationships and maximise benefits for local communities. Our community
collaboration is ongoing throughout development (before, during and after). Examples of our initiatives:
• Working with Clarion Futures to support people with skills and employment opportunities.
• Engaging local education institutes for work related learning activities so the development becomes a unique learning opportunity.
• Creative competitions and supporting arts and cultures.
• Community fund and sponsorship access to fund local initiatives, bringing communities and local groups to our development.
• Skilled volunteering enabling us to share our varied skills and expertise with communities including mentoring.
• Becoming trustees at educational institutes and third sector organisations which may require additional strategic support.
• Awarding tenders with local business and suppliers where feasible and possible.
• Encouraging communities to take ownership of their environment following project completion, with support in place to facilitate.
