Residents have lost their battle to prevent the 24/7 operation of an industrial site just 20 metres from their homes. The redevelopment of one of the oldest and largest sites in Trafford has been given the green light - with occupiers given carte blanche to operate when they please, 365 days a year.
Councillors on the borough's planning and development management committee gave the plan for the former Cartwright Group site in the Broadheath Industrial Area the thumbs up at a meeting last night (Thursday June 9).
The trailer manufacturing company went into administration in 2020 and the site on Atlantic Street has been vacant ever since. The proposals could lead to 380 full-time jobs, mitigating the loss of 650 jobs when Cartwright closed two years ago, the committee was told by officers.
