Key benefits & next steps
Major employment creation – around 1,000 new jobs with a range of skilled jobs and apprenticeships offered. We will work with schools and colleges to ensure local young people can benefit.
Community benefits – large ecology zone, parking space to ease pressure on the Sports Village, and a new community hub with café and growing spaces.
The only available and deliverable site of this size in Stockport borough.
Prime location near to the motorway network – key for employment space and accessibility for jobs.
Extensive landscaping and planting to reduce visual impact, achieve a biodiversity net gain, and green the site.
Public right of way across the site will be retained and enhanced for community benefit.
A location that is accessible from neighbouring residential areas on foot, by bike and by bus, reducing the need to drive and minimising any traffic impact.
A phased approach (2-3 phases) to reduce traffic impact on local roads during the construction phase.
