The Park Hill estate has been without a shop since the sprawling site was redeveloped by Manchester-based developer Urban Splash in the late 2000s.

The brutalist complex was originally built in the late 1950s and was grade II listed in 1998.

People began moving into phase 1 of the redevelopment in 2013 while phase two will be finished in September 2021.

Student accommodation in phase 3 of the site opened in September this year.
