Planning permission granted for Cheadle business park

Stockport Council has given the go-ahead for six light industrial units, ranging in size from 929m² to 3,716m², forming a new business park in Cheadle.

All of the units are targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ ratings, as the scheme aims to align with Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standards.

Following the planning committee’s approval, the development will be constructed to suit a wide range of potential business requirements, supported by the £4.4 million grant secured through the Government Town Fund.

Paul Richards, Director of Development and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: “We can now take forward this exciting opportunity to create a ground-breaking, sustainable new employment zone which will not only have a positive impact on the environment, but will also mean more jobs, which will be a huge boost to the local economy.”

Set to create upwards of 200 jobs once complete, the development is central to the Town Investment Plan, which will unlock Cheadle’s economic potential and drive clean growth.
