Stockport Council is expected this month to approve developer Quorum Estates’ scaled-back plans to build almost 1m sq ft of additional units at the Bredbury Industrial Estate off the M60.
The 76-acre site between the industrial park and the River Tame has long been earmarked for redevelopment, including in the most recent version of the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework published.
However, Quorum’ proposal to expand the industrial estate by building on adjacent land known as Bredbury Gateway was the subject of a row between Stockport and Tameside councils last year, as the estate lies on the border of the two boroughs.
