The English Cities Fund (ECF), a public-private partnership for urban regeneration and development projects across England, has put forward proposals for the construction of 42 affordable homes in Cleminson Street in Salford, UK, adhering to the Passivhaus Classic standard.
These homes are part of the extensive £2.5bn ($3.11bn) Crescent Salford master plan, which aims to deliver more than 3,000 homes to the region.
Construction is set to commence in mid-2025, pending the formal receipt of ECF’s planning approval.
The ECF joint venture between Muse, Homes England, and Legal & General, a financial services group, is focusing on the development of low-rise, three-bedroom houses within Adelphi Village, a residential community located east of the River Irwell.
Adelphi Village is one of six development zones included within the Crescent Salford master plan, an initiative led by the Crescent partnership, which includes Salford City Council, the University of Salford, and ECF.
ECF claims that the residents of the proposed affordable homes will experience energy bill savings of up to 90% compared to traditional housing, alongside a comfortable living environment, improved ventilation, and sustainable design.

ECF senior development manager Steve Thomas said: “Through the creation of Passivhaus communities like Farmer Norton, we’re bringing together placemaking, regeneration and investment expertise to bridge the gap for affordable, high-quality, sustainable homes.”
Salford mayor Paul Dennett added: “It is positive news that the planning application for 42 affordable and energy-efficient homes has now been submitted for the [council’s] Planning Panel to consider.
“Providing high-quality, affordable, sustainable homes is a key priority of mine, and a scheme such as this which helps us deliver the homes our residents need and deserve is very welcome.”
Earlier this month, West Northamptonshire Council joined forces with ECF to rejuvenate the Greyfriars area in the town centre of Northampton, England.
