| Masterplanning, Strategic & Detailed Landscape at Lower Broughton, Salford for Countryside Properties and Salford City Council |
Lower Broughton, in Salford has undergone a major transformation, with residential development and local facilities replacing brownfield sites and run-down, unpopular terraced housing. AGa were appointed by Countryside Properties to carry out the landscape and urban design of the whole area, including all the hard and soft landscaped areas; public spaces, shared courtyards, major streets, ‘Home Zone’ style streets and private gardens. The first phase, which included over 200 units, contained a new pedestrian spine route that linked the northern end of the development with new public open space and the shopping precinct at the southern end of the development. This included a new market place, traffic free space and lots of trees to provide a green visual thread framing and enhancing views. The second, third, fourth and fifth phases of the development included a further 800 residential units and new public open spaces, providing new opportunities for leisure, recreation and play. |
