Glenbrook has secured planning consent at appeal for a 625,000 sq ft employment park in Wigan, Greater Manchester, which has a gross development value of £100m.
The developer lodged a hybrid application in July 2021 but despite an officer recommendation to approve, it was refused at a planning committee in April 2022. However, an appeal was submitted in October last year.
The 40-acre site has been allocated for employment use in Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council’s unitary development plan and forms part of the South Lancashire industrial estate primary employment area.
Dan Symonds, development manager at Glenbrook, said: “Wigan has a pressing need for employment space and delivery of this long-standing site will go some way in satisfying that demand.”
The scheme is designed by AEW Architects, with SGi appointed as civil and structural engineers. Gerald Eve is the planning consultant.
