‘High quality’ new jobs have been promised for Stockport after plans for an ‘enormous’ revamp of a derelict industrial estate were given the go ahead. Ambitious proposals to build a new 19,000 sq m employment site on the old Vauxhall Industrial Estate, in South Reddish, have been signed off by planning chiefs.
The scheme was recommended for approval after the developer revised proposals in response to concerns over traffic issues and the potential for air and noise pollution. And the council’s planning committee was happy to grant permission for the large-scale redevelopment, when it met to decide on Thursday night.
Councillor Roy Driver, who also represents Reddish North, told the meeting it was a ‘very welcome plan’. He described the proposed site as a ‘very modern business development’ that would ‘improve the area’.
