Huge flat parcel ideal for large-scale logistics or manufacturing development.
Circa 98 acres net available within a 127-acre gross holding
This is one of the largest single development parcels available in Greater Manchester, offered as circa 98 acres net within a gross holding of approx. 127 acres. The site sits within the Northern Gateway/Atom Valley initiative, planned for employment-led uses and targeted at advanced manufacturing and logistics. Its flat, undeveloped nature and strong motorway access nearby make it immediately suitable for large-scale industrial or commercial mastersites.
Key strategic advantages include freehold title, excellent mobile signal, an affluent wider area, and potential public-sector infrastructure support through the Mayoral initiative and MDZ arrangements. Adjacent areas may be available separately, offering scope to assemble a larger campus for distribution, manufacturing or mixed employment uses. Water services are present on site.
Important planning and site matters are material to any acquisition decision. A Public Inquiry concerning the M60 Junction 18 Simister Island Interchange has recently concluded; the Planning Inspectorate’s recommendation is due in June, with the Secretary of State’s final decision by September 2025. Up to 27 acres of the gross holding may be required for the junction scheme, reducing the developable area. Broadband speeds on site are very slow, which could affect certain occupier requirements.
This opportunity suits institutional or developer investors seeking a strategic employment site with long-term value upside from regional growth initiatives. Buyers should carry out their own planning, technical and infrastructure due diligence, and factor the pending junction decision and potential land take into acquisition and development appraisals.
