Mr Ismail said the firm was "delighted" with the approval and said the scheme, known as Viadux 2, would help meet the "substantial need" for accommodation at different price points and tenure types.The developer, founded in 2014 by BetFred owner Fred Done is behind many of the high-rise developments across Salford and Manchester.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Chelsea have been fined £27m by Uefa over financial breaches Credit: Getty The punishment comes with the potential for a far harsher fine. Conditional breaches of Uefa's financial rules mean Chelsea risk being hit with a further £60m fine. Premier League rivals Aston Villa have also been slapped with a fine. However, the Villans breach is far less severe. The Midlands outfit have been fined £9.5m. They then have a further £15m in conditional fines for additional breaches of the Uefa financial rules. Both clubs punishments come in the form of agreed settlements. A Uefa statement also revealed Sporting Disciplinary Measures against the two teams. These include both clubs not being allowed to register new players on their A List to Uefa Club competitions unless they have a positive transfer balance. Uefa's statement indicates both Chelsea and Villa could be under scrutiny of this agreement for four years. The terms "unconditionally" apply in the 2025/26 and 2026/27 seasons. They also "conditionally" apply in 2027/28, if the club has a football earnings deficit in the 2026 reporting period. If they exceed the 2027 target, the conditions will once again apply to the 2028/29 season. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
