Turley submits planning application for central Manchester aparthotel

Acting on behalf of Manchester based developer, Jadebricks, Turley has submitted a planning application to Manchester City Council for an aparthotel in the Northern Quarter district of the city centre.

The proposed redevelopment sits on the corner of Oldham Street and Spear Street and the development will be known as ‘Larard’s Still’.

Designed by SimpsonHaugh the proposals are for the retention and re-use of the existing 68 Oldham St, partial retention, including the façade of the existing 70 Oldham Street, conversion of an existing warehouse building with rooftop extension and a new building of 9 storeys (plus ground floor) to create an aparthotel and flexible commercial uses.

The existing buildings fronting Oldham Street, which have been vacant for a number of years and fallen into disrepair, will be restored to retain much of the historic fabric, while integrating with and providing a sustainable, long-term use for the vacant warehouse on Spear Street.

The proposed development will include 117 hotel bedrooms, guest lounge, gym and laundry facilities with 15 secure cycle space storage and space for two independent commercial units on the ground floor.

The scheme will add to the diverse atmosphere of the Northern Quarter as well as promoting enhanced footfall into the area. Neighbouring properties include the adjacent Grade II listed Castle Hotel and 105 Oldham Street and the site is located within the Stevenson Square Conservation Area.

Amsterdam based operator, Cycas Hospitality BV will operate the hotel under Accor’s ‘Adagio Access’ brand.

To ensure a positive design response was developed, the project team carried out early consultation with Manchester City Council and other stakeholders including Historic England and local Ward Councillors. Turley conducted a public consultation which concluded with an online webinar at the end of July:

Turley Planning Director, Stephen Bell added:

“Larard’s Still is an exciting development for Manchester’s Northern Quarter. By restoring and bringing these buildings back into use the development can make a valuable contribution to the area, adding to the mix and vibrancy of Oldham Street in particular. It will also add to the city’s hotel offer, supporting its visitor economy. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with the team at Jadebricks, SimpsonHaugh and Cumming Group on this project.”

Jadebricks Managing Director, Mike Bathurst said:

“Since we acquired the site for Larard’s Still in 2020, we have been passionate about ensuring the design is respectful to the Northern Quarter and wider Manchester city centre heritage. Working with a team of Manchester based consultants we’re delighted to have submitted our proposals to Manchester City Council and we’re keen to push forward with delivering another outstanding development for the city.”
