Plans to regenerate a prominent Manchester city centre site by building a £79m mixed-use development are to be further refined to bring forward more affordable housing.CEG is behind the scheme, which is earmarked for a gateway area between the high street and Northern Quarter, replacing a predominantly vacant 1970s building.Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, it would comprise space for independent cafés, restaurants and shops, providing about 65 jobs. Upwards of 350 homes are also lined up.FCB Studios has also designed proposals to relocate the popular market stalls on Church Street to a new contemporary style of accommodation offering indoor and outdoor areas, returning the operation to its historic home next to the nearby Church Street car park.The application had been due to go before committee but has now been deferred.
