Stockport could get a new industrial estate and community accessible park under plans to develop a plot of land in Bredbury.

A site next to Ashton Road at Bredbury Park Way has been earmarked for the scheme, which could include warehousing and manufacturing.

This is located near the existing Bredbury Park Industrial Estate.

If approved in future, the proposed development is expected to create a 'significant' number of jobs and provide a boost to the local economy.

Alongside new business units, the plans include creating a 'publicly accessible community nature park' as well as a 'landscaped setting.' The borough of Stockport is undergoing major regeneration work at the moment, with new housing and business hubs being built in the town centre and beyond.
