Latest plans

Help us shape the future of Sister

Sister is starting to take shape. We're developing our initial plans for the first phases of the site and want to ensure our neighbouring residents, businesses and interested parties are able to follow us on our journey and have a say on how plans progress.

Below you'll find the information on our Zone C planning application and past community newsletters, to update you on our work over the past year.

Altrincham Street

Zone C

Planning has been submitted for Zone C of the site’s masterplan, including a flagship new office development, a revitalised Altrincham Street, a new public square, and a series of high-quality outdoor public spaces.

It was great to hear your views on these proposals during the public consultation period back in March 2025. Your feedback has helped us evolve and fine-tune the plans and the future of Sister, ensuring we deliver a scheme that benefits both the local community and the wider city.

You can find the planning application here.
