Huge industrial site planned for Heywood

A huge industrial space planned for Heywood could bring more than 500 jobs to the area.

The new 500,000 sq ft industrial and logistics site would be built at Heywood Distribution Park, close to Junction 19 of the M62 and Junction 3 of the M66.

Indurent, the company behind the proposal, says the location is strategically important due to its excellent transport links and direct access to the north west and Yorkshire.

The development, on the border of Rochdale and Bury, has the potential to generate more than 500 jobs once fully occupied, bosses add.

Indurent hopes to secure planning by late summer, with the potential for construction to start in late 2025 and be completed by the end of 2026.

Rob Richardson, development director at Indurent said: “If approved, this new facility at Heywood Distribution Park will play a vital role in supporting the region’s growth by attracting leading occupiers and creating high quality jobs. 

“This submission marks an exciting step forward in our commitment to delivering best in class, sustainable manufacturing and logistics space in strategic locations, like the North West.”

Indurent, one of the UK’s leading providers of industrial and logistics warehousing, says the 26 acre site would be built to the ‘highest sustainability standards’. 

The proposal is now seeking full planning permission with final details after already receiving outline planning permission from Rochdale Borough Council. If approved, the developer will be able to start building.
