Site description: The site is a large, relatively unconstrained greenfield site directly accessible to the motorway and has a long visible frontage along the M6. The site extends to 54.4 hectares in size. To the North are fields which provide a green buffer between the employment site and existing residential properties at Winstanley.
Location: Junction 25 is the main southern gateway into Wigan offering a strategic location which has the scale, prominence and motorway connectivity to satisfy business demand and generate new jobs and investment for the local economy. The site is situated on the M6 which is a major business asset being the UKs most important strategic route for freight movement between the north and south of the country. These characteristics make the site highly attractive to the market, including key growth sectors such as logistics and advanced manufacturing which are growing rapidly in the North West given the relatively close proximity of global connections at Manchester Airport and the new deep water port at Liverpool 2.
Access: Access onto the site will be provided by a new high quality link from the existing A49 Warrington Road / M6 Link Road roundabout.
Planning position: The site has planning permission (A/18/85947) for the erection of 133,966 square meters of B8 floorspace with ancillary office space.
Development plan status: The site is a draft allocation within the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (2019) GM Allocation 48 / Places for Everyone Plan JPA34 (2021)
Potential uses: The site has permission for B8 and ancillary office space however the size and location of the site suggests a wider range of employment uses could be accommodated (eg manufacturing)
Land ownership: The land is within the ownership and control of Tritax Symmetry
Site marketing: Trixtax Symmetry (external link)
