Work to build a 55-storey skyscraper in Salford - which would be one of the 海角视频's tallest towers outside of London - is set to start in the coming weeks after the revised plans were backed.
The proposals for the One Heritage Tower in Greengate, which was originally approved in January 2020, have been given the go ahead by Salford City Council.
At 173 metres, the tower will contain 542 flats and would be the tallest building in Salford and the second tallest in the region, just beating the Beetham Tower.

The council's planning panel approved amendments to the scheme which are aimed at reducing building costs for the developer at a meeting this week, the Local Democracy Reporting service has said.
One Heritage chief executive officer Jason Upton told the panel at a meeting on Thursday, October 7, that work should start on site in the coming weeks.
He said: "We remain committed to the delivery of this hugely exciting project which will make a significant contribution to the regeneration objectives outlined in the latest Greengate regeneration strategy."
The developer described the changes to the plans as 'relatively minor', but said that cumulatively, they would make the project economically viable.

A total of 542 apartments are proposed in the revised scheme - three fewer than previously approved - around half of which would be two-bedroom flats.
Fewer one-bedroom apartments are in the amended plans - down from 264 to 243 - but the number of three-bedroom flats remains roughly the same at 23.
Some changes to the structural core of the building were also approved, including a reduction in the number of basements levels from three to one.

The building would still include a bar and lounge for residents alongside a co-working space, meeting room, cinema room, library and a two-storey gym.
The number of car parking spaces has been cut from 62 to 24 - but there would be cycle storage in the basement to accommodate 178 bicycles.
A 14-storey tower known as the 'Shoulder' building which is also part of the plans will no longer feature balconies facing the former market cross site.
The developer has agreed to contribute £2.5m towards public realm projects in the area including the future Market Cross scheme and a riverside walkway.
