Green light for Stockport Exchange office scheme

Planning consent has been granted by Stockport Council Planning and Highways Regulation Committee for one of the final phases of the Stockport Exchange development.

Known as 4 Stockport Exchange, the project will comprise 5,574m² office block with ground floor opportunities available for shops, cafes, bars or restaurants, as well as a fully accessible and landscaped approach to the railway station and new public square.

Being developed by Muse, the building has been designed to incorporate high environmental standards and is aiming to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC “A” ratings, as well as WELL Gold accreditation.

Cllr Colin MacAlister, Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: “Stockport Exchange has been a popular choice for a diverse range of businesses and it is good news that we now have future phases in the pipeline, to attract even more businesses, as well as creating employment opportunities and a range of good quality amenities.

“This latest milestone is a significant achievement with the potential to also provide much needed homes in a highly accessible location.”

Max King, Project Director at Muse, said: “Getting the green light for the next phase of development at Stockport Exchange is fantastic news, as it’s the last piece in the puzzle for the blossoming business community that we’ve proudly created in the town.”
