Plans Approved For Market 41 Food Hall Development

Construction News Image
The McGoff Group has received planning permission for its Market 41 food hall development on the corner of Railway Road and Greenfield Avenue in the centre of Urmston, Greater Manchester.

The decision was made at Trafford Council's planning committee meeting with committee members voting in favour of the development to enhance the existing market site and contribute to the future vitality of Urmston town centre.

The next step for Altrincham-based McGoff Group is to secure funding for the multi million pound private development and the company is in advanced conversations with potential funding institutions.

The company will also be refreshing contact with the many food and beverage operators who had initially expressed an interest in trading from the new development to see if they are still keen to be involved. They will also be inviting fresh applications from potential new traders, ensuring the best blend and appropriate mix of operators are selected for a successful project.

Director at the McGoff Group, Chris McGoff, commented: "We are delighted to finally receive approval for Market 41 and are looking forward to getting the business planning and funding discussions underway once more. The last couple of years have presented unforeseen operational challenges across all sectors, including hospitality, forcing us to re-think how Market 41 would function in a post-pandemic world. We are confident that the concept has been sufficiently future-proofed to reduce operational risk for all involved and are pleased to back on track with a project that will be of economic value to Urmston and economically viable for all involved whatever the future holds."

The approved plans for Market 41 comprise a three-storey scheme with a food hall and communal dining area at its heart. Modular units will provide a clear distinction between individual operators and there will be more outdoor space along with a retractable roof to promote the constant flow of fresh air.

In addition to an exciting mix of cafes, restaurants and bars located on the ground and first floors, Market 41 will benefit from dedicated areas for flexible working, lifestyle pop-ups, artisan markets, plus private dining and events. The second floor will feature a 32-room contactless 'hands free' hotel and rooftop event area.
