Postcode: M46 0SU
Site size: 3.15 ha
Site description: A reasonably flat greenfield vacant rectangular site approx. 3.15 hectares in size, in single ownership accessed from Gibfield Park Way. The site sits adjoining open fields on two sides with industrial uses on the third side and residential uses to the east.
Location: The site is located to the north west of Atherton town centre with direct access from Gibfield Park Way. The site has good access to the A577 Manchester Road and A579 Atherleigh Way which are both 1 km to the south. The Council has firm aspirations to enhance east-west connectivity in the borough through the delivery of new road infrastructure, which would significantly enhance access from this site to Wigan and to Junction 5 of the M61. The site is adjacent to the Leigh Guide Dogs for the Blind centre to the south (which is located within the existing Gibfield Park Employment Area) and new residential development to the east.
Access: The site is accessed from Gibfield Park Way, which has convenient access to both the A577 and the A579. Future road improvements here, if implemented, would enhance access towards Wigan and to the M61 at Junction 5.
Planning position: The site benefits from planning permission for 18,590 sqm of employment floorspace. This forms part of a wider mixed use scheme of which the residential development has been implemented by Keepmoat (A/17/84932/VAR.)
Development plan status: Unallocated land
Potential uses: The site is suitable for a range of employment uses including general industry, storage/logistics and office space.
