Reserved Matters planning application submitted for Anchorage Gateway in Manchester
A Reserved Matters Planning application has been submitted by developer Cole Waterhouse for the Anchorage Gateway residential development at Salford Quays in Manchester, following on from the unanimous consent granted by Salford City Council to an Outline Planning application in November.
The 31-storey scheme, designed by Chapman Taylor, will provide up to 290 apartments in a range of 1-bed, 2-bed and 3-bed configurations, complemented by amenity space for residents and visitors as well as a generous ground floor lobby and mezzanine space for working and socialising.
The building will be topped by an architectural “crown”, within which external terraces will provide pleasant outdoor spaces for the warmer months, including a residents’ rooftop garden with dramatic views over Salford Quays.
The L-shaped building footprint maximises the opportunity for active street frontage, helping to foster an active and vibrant scene at street level. This will help improve the pedestrian experience of the site, which is used by workers, residents and visitors due to the very close Metrolink tram stop.
The site acts as a gateway to Salford Quays and offers an opportunity to create a landmark building which will fittingly mark the urban transition to the taller, higher-density developments of the Salford Quays area, including MediaCityUK.
Chapman Taylor Director Michael Swiszczowski comments: “Anchorage Gateway will host a dynamic and well-supported residential community, providing much-needed, high-quality residential and amenity space in an attractive landmark building. Chapman Taylor and Cole Waterhouse are proud of the proposals we have submitted and hope to see approval granted for this innovative and well-considered design”.
Anchorage Gateway is the latest development in Chapman Taylor's growing residential portfolio across the UK, which has seen several schemes already handed over and fully occupied. We also have thousands more homes under construction, with many more in the pipeline, particularly in the increasingly popular Build-to-Rent sector.
The regular, elegant form of the plan steps in its massing at the 20th storey, with the slimmer plane extending to the top. Each building ‘blade’ is topped by an architectural “crown”, within which external terraces will provide pleasant outdoor spaces for the warmer months, including a residents’ rooftop garden with dramatic views over Salford Quays.

Cole Waterhouse CEO Damian Flood says: “We are pleased to present this new application, which sees a reduction of commercial space in favour of more amenities for residents, including terraces and penthouse apartments. We know that there is a huge appetite for well-built, quality homes at the right price in this area, and this development will be a key scheme in the ongoing regeneration of Salford.
“Anchorage Gateway is in a great location between MediaCityUK, Exchange Quay and Trafford Park and easily within reach of both Salford and Manchester city centres. It will provide a distinctive focal point at the entrance to Salford Quays and will be at the centre of a vibrant new community.”
