Context I Site

The site is located South-East of Manchester in Ringway civic parish at the Hasty lane, and it’s surrounded by the M56 Motorway from the East and the airport from the west, which means there is a high level of sound pollution in the environment. The buildable part of the site has been split by the Hasty Lane’s road and an underpass that connects the two segments of the Hasty Lane via going from the under of the motorway.

Strengths: Locating in a rich natural environment

Weaknesses: Lack of an established community
