Chorley business park gets go-ahead

ROUNDHOUSE Properties, and construction firm JWS Developments, have secured planning for a two-and-a-half-acre industrial site in Chorley.

The Preston firm said the £3m scheme will deliver 35 business units, aimed at small to medium-sized business, offering office and industrial space from 630 sq ft to 2,130 sq ft.

The new scheme, adjacent to Matrix Industrial Park, will be called Momentum Business Centre @Buckshaw.

Roundhouse director Jeremy Lefton said: “All our developments focus on two themes – flexibility and affordability.  

“This approach has proved to be successful as we’ve found that providing tenants with flexible and affordable space, gives them the ability to grow and succeed.

Glossop-based JWS plans to complete the first phase early next year. David Taylor from Partington Associates advised on the planning process.

The properties will marketed by Roundhouse Properties supported by Nick Kos from Bailey Deakin & Hamiltons, the sole agent for the development.
