What is a Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) and what status does it have?
The purpose of the Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) is to guide investment in major developments, public realm and infrastructure in the Mayfield area. It will provide the economic and spatial context for ensuring that the impetus provided by the Civil Service Campus proposals is harnessed to deliver transformational change. This is to be done in a way that enhances Piccadilly and the adjacent areas of the city centre and connects to the adjoining communities within Ardwick and New East Manchester. The SRF will help to ensure that development in the area is designed, implemented and managed in a comprehensive and co-ordinated manner through collaboration between landowners and the City Council. This will ensure that the regeneration opportunities offered by the Civil Service Campus proposals are maximised for the benefit of the wider community. Given the current level of investment interest in and immediately around the area, it is essential that such a framework is in place.
