Pair of Oldham industrial schemes in line for consent
Langtree and Marshall CDP are hoping for approval when their projects, totalling 310,000 sq ft, go before the council’s planning committee next week.
Hollinwood Junction
Developer: Langtree
Planner: Spawforths
Architect: Horizon Fletcher Rae
Langtree’s 190,000 sq ft scheme forms part of the £40m Hollinwood Junction project and comprises 13 units off Junction 22 of the M60.
Oldham Council appointed Langtree to deliver the Hollinwood Junction scheme in 2007. So far, remediation of the site and a Costa Coffee drive-thru have been delivered.
The 190,000 sq ft industrial proposals form the main chunk of the development and the wider project is also expected to incorporate retail, leisure, and up to 150 family homes.
The developer is targeting a BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating and will utilise translucent fascia materials throughout the scheme to allow for maximum natural light within each unit. The proposals also include extensive landscaping, according to Langtree.
The site was previously occupied by a gas holder, demolished in 2020.
Oldham Council’s planning officers have recommended the project be approved.

Leonard Way
Developer: Marshall CDP
Planner: in-house
Architect: in-house
Marshall CDP wants to build two units on a 12-acre site off Leonards Way in Royton.
The larger of the two units would offer 77,500 sq ft of industrial space and 5,000 sq ft of ancillary offices spread across two floors. The second unit would provide 42,000 sq ft of industrial accommodation and 2,500 sq ft of office space.
The site, a former gasworks, already benefits from planning approval for a single 180,000 sq ft unit, granted in August 2020.
Oldham Council’s planning officers have recommended the project be approved.
