Langtree has secured detailed planning permission for the next phase of its £40m Hollinwood project to the south west of Oldham town centre.
The developer has received planning for 192,000 sq ft of industrial space across 13 units ranging from circa 5,000 sq ft to circa 42,000 sq ft. Langtree is delivering the project in partnership with Oldham Council and is targeting BREEAM Excellent for the units.
Josh Downes, senior development manager at Langtree, said: “We’re delighted that our partnership approach has secured this development, which will provide a variety of high-quality workspaces to support Oldham’s continued economic growth. It’s a prime location and provides room for local employers to expand whilst offering high-grade space to new occupiers attracted by Oldham’s skilled workforce.”
Councillor Arooj Shah, leader of Oldham Council, added: “The approval of the next phase of Hollinwood junction marks a significant milestone for Oldham. The state-of-the-art industrial units will improve our local economy for our communities and create new jobs for Oldhamers.
“This collaboration with Langtree will make sure Oldham keeps growing and becomes an even better place to live, work and visit. And with the site right next to junction 22 of the M60, it makes it a desired destination for innovation, offering easy access for businesses across the UK and beyond.
Architects Fletcher Rae designed the scheme and B8 has been appointed agents. Work will now commence preparing tender documents for contractors to bid to deliver the development, with Langtree hoping to make a start on site in Q3 2024.
