Trafford Wharfside
Trafford Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to produce a Trafford Wharfside Strategic Masterplan.
The successful consultant will work with Trafford Council alongside Manchester United Football Club, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and other key stakeholders to deliver the transformational change of the Wharfside area.
The Strategic Masterplan should critically review, build on and extend the work carried out to date in the draft Trafford Wharfside Development Framework and draft Trafford Wharfside Masterplan. The Strategic Masterplan should be similar in form to a Strategic Regeneration Framework, and also include masterplanning and design principles to shape and direct development in the Wharfside area. The Strategic Masterplan must speak to, and assist with, the delivery of the vision and the overarching strategy and planning policy for the area set out in the emerging Trafford Local Plan.
