Network Space has been appointed by Stockport Council as Development Manager of a new Eco Business Park in Cheadle.
Following a competitive procurement process, Network Space Developments (NSD) is leading the commercial scheme at the Bird Hall Lane site. Central to the Town Investment Plan, the Eco Business Park will help to unlock Cheadle’s economic potential and drive clean growth. It has secured £4.4million of Town Fund support.
A detailed planning application has now been submitted. Designed to target BREEAM Outstanding and emerging Net Zero Carbon in construction accreditation from the UK Green Building Council, the 115,000 sq ft multi-unit development will provide a flexible range of light industrial space, delivered across six units ranging from 40,000 sq ft to 10,000 sq ft.
The scheme will be environmentally exemplar and market leading, incorporating low carbon technologies and building materials to facilitate net zero carbon in both construction and operation. All-electric, the buildings will use Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) technology, solar PV and externally incorporate the use of timber cladding. The scheme will appeal to a wide range of businesses, targeting occupiers operating in the clean growth and green technology sector alongside commercial occupiers seeking low carbon and highly sustainable business premises. The scheme is set to create upwards of 200 jobs once complete.
