A developer has lost its appeal over controversial plans to extend an industrial estate into the green belt.
Quorum challenged Stockport council’s decision to refuse its proposal to expand Bredbury Industrial Estate into the Tame Valley, resulting in a two-week public inquiry.
Held last month, it heard from experts on behalf of both the council and the applicant, as well as Denton and Reddish MP Andrew Gwynne. Quorum argued there was an ‘overwhelming need’ for large scale industrial and warehouse units in the borough and the proposed site - on the Stockport and Tameside border - was the only suitable location.
