The Salford Quays site has received planning permission
|
The plans for developing the site of the BBC's proposed new Salford Quays base have been given the go-ahead by the city council.
Planning approval has been granted to Peel Media, which owns the site, to build three mixed-use buildings.
The centrepiece of the development will be a public piazza twice the size of Trafalgar Square.
The BBC is expected to make the site its new base in the North - subject to final approval by the BBC Trust.
Mediacity:uk, who are managing the project, said these are "three flagship buildings" on the site.
