A gym and tanning salon are part of plans for the next phase of development at a retail park in Tyldesley that have been given the green light. Wigan Council have approved the proposals at Parr Bridge Retail Park that also include two retail units, cafes and restaurants within three other new spaces.
The Mosley Common Road site already contains a drive-thru Starbucks, a Lidl and a nursery - which came along in the previous two phases of development. Site owners Flexdane Ltd already had plans approved for the third phase of development at the edge of the Mosley Common area, but wanted to change what the retail units would host.
As many as 154 homes are currently under construction just off the site - the residential side of this development.

“Now known as Parr Bridge, the site is effectively split into two parts, the residential element to south and east which was purchased and currently being built by Bellway Homes and the commercial element to the north and west,” a planning statement said. “Work on the residential element of the site is well under way and following agreement of the reserved matters by the planning authority for Phases 1 and 2 of the commercial element, the children’s day nursery as well as a discount food store have been completed and, more recently, a drive-through coffee shop.”
Flexdane Ltd are currently looking for businesses to come to the commercial development which they say is ‘the heart of this new up and coming area’. They want this retail park, which is just a stone's throw away from the Leigh Guided Busway, to provide amenities for this growing area.
