Plans for an ‘enormous’ redevelopment of a vacant Stockport industrial estate have been given a major boost. Ambitious proposals to build a new 19,000 sq m employment site on the former Vauxhall Industrial Estate, in South Reddish, have been backed for approval by local councillors.
The Greg Street scheme includes 28 two-storey units across six blocks for industrial, warehousing and ‘flexible’ uses. These vary in size, with floorspace ranging from 364 sq m to 1,265 sq m.
The blocks would face inwards towards a central courtyard for parking and ‘general activity associated with the businesses’. In total the plans include a total of 174 parking spaces, including 34 electric vehicle charging bays, and 24 disabled spaces. The original scheme was amended after the council raised concerns over the impact on roads in the area and neighbours objected on the grounds of potential noise and air pollution.
