THE DEVELOPER, which secured planning on appeal for the 480,469 ft2 two unit scheme acquired the 27.8-acre site from Telereal Trillium in 2022.

It is now securing a contractor for the scheme which will see a 51,623 ft2 and a 381,378 ft2 built  to complete in summer 2026.

Both units will target BREEAM Excellent and an EPC A rating. The development will feature timber structures and air source heat pumps for the offices, 100% photovoltaic-ready roofing and zero-carbon warehouse frames, while also enabling significant biodiversity net gain.

The site on Manchester Road is strategically positioned with direct access to Junction 19 of the M62, and is three miles east of the M60/M62/M66 intersection, providing access to the entire north west region. 

Trammell Crow Company UK Development Director Jamie Hargreaves, said: “This is a much-needed, high-quality speculative development in a prime location for logistics. The north west region, and Manchester in particular, is a supply constrained market with the lowest vacancy rate in the UK, meaning that businesses in the area need schemes like this to enable them to grow and create job opportunities for the local community. This decision is the right one for the region, and is the result of TCC’s conviction in the scheme, the north west region, and the UK’s logistics market as a whole.”

Gerald Eve acted as planning consultants. TCC was represented by Joanna Bassett and others from law firm Taylor Wessing, as well as barristers Christopher Katkowski KC and Martin Carter, both of Kings Chambers. Ashton Smith Associates are the architects on the scheme. Gerald Eve (Jason Print) and CPP (Steve Moriarty) are brokers.
