Buile Hill Mansion plans approved

The council gave planning proposals the green light in September.

The restored historic mansion at Buile Hill Park will be home to the council's registry services as well as community space including a mixed use café bar and wedding venue and function room.

Disabled access ramps will be installed along with a lift and an external enclosed staircase, making Buile Hill Mansion accessible for all residents and our communities in Salford.

The Buile Hill depot outbuildings, with the exception of the derelict greenhouse, will be demolished and a new car park created for the mansion. It was agreed that the group campaigning for the refurbishment of the greenhouse would be given the opportunity to formally present its business case for its restoration.

Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett said: “I made a commitment to the city, our residents and communities at the last mayoral election to bring Buile Hill Mansion back into community use and it is fantastic news that the ambitious and exciting plans for this much loved historic asset in the heart of our city have been approved”

“I’m looking forward to the doors being fully open once works are completed. This significant investment to restore the historic mansion building will also hopefully act as a catalyst for future investment into the surrounding park.”
