Allied London development comprises five towers rising to 66 storeys in height

Developer Allied London has submitted its Trinity Islands 鈥榲ertical village鈥� scheme in for planning.

The Child Graddon Lewis-designed (CGL) scheme comprises 1,400 homes across five inter-linked towers rising to 66 storeys in height.

It forms part of Allied London鈥檚 wider St John鈥檚 development, which includes the redevelopment of ITV鈥檚 former Granada studios. Deloitte is planning consultant.

Subject to winning detailed planning approval, construction could start later this year.

Allied London and CGL have previously worked together on residential scheme Leeds Dock.

James Sidlow, project director at Allied London, said: 鈥淭rinity Islands appeals to a wide variety of people with its excellent onsite amenity and community-lead retail offering, as well as its sky gardens and lounges that allow residents to relax and unwind.

鈥淥ne of the tallest residential schemes in Western Europe, residents will enjoy some of Manchester鈥檚 most scenic views.鈥�

Greg Jones, CGL associate director, said: 鈥淭he aim of Trinity Islands is to provide Manchester with the opportunity to create a world-class neighbourhood and a self-sustaining community of residents and workers.

鈥淭his is a project that goes beyond what鈥檚 required and not only creates housing, a well-known priority for the UK, but rather an environment that benefits local communities.鈥�
