SUMMARY
Unlike previous proposals for this site, we are proposing a much smaller employment development and are not seeking to develop a large-scale regional distribution hub. Instead we want to provide a mix of units – from starter units to mid-range – that offer flexibility of use for light and general industry and local warehousing and distribution.
As the indicative site plan shows, buildings would be smaller in scale and height and the scheme will be landscape led. A large part of the overall site will remain as a green undeveloped area of countryside, with the potential to create a publicly accessible community nature park on the remainder of the site.
The site will be accessed from the existing Bredbury Park Industrial Estate. We will encourage alternative modes of transport to the site, such as use of public transport, car-sharing, walking and cycling routes.
As well as modern and highly sustainable buildings, we will also consider environmental measures including green living walls and roofs for some of the buildings, renewable energy for power and heating, Electric Vehicle Charging Points throughout and securing ecology benefits on site.
A significant number of new jobs, training initiatives and apprenticeships will be created, including during construction. We will work with local authorities, schools and colleges to ensure that local communities benefit from the opportunities created.
