Yorkshire-based developer Marshall has replaced Cheshire's Orbit as development partner with manufacturer MAN Diesel on a 90-acre site in Stockport.

Phase one of the scheme comprises a new head office for MAN, due to be completed by the end of 2009, subject to planning.

Around one third of the site will be developed as industrial and office space, with the remainder left undeveloped.

When complete, the 38,200 sq ft extension to the University Collegiate School will increase the education facility’s student capacity by a third.

Irwell Valley Homes is behind the scheme drawn up by architect AEW, earmarked for a four-acre brownfield site to the east of Thirsk Avenue.
