Developers submit appeal against failed Bredbury Parkway plans

Denton MP Andrew Gwynne has once again joined forces with Hazel Grove MP William Wragg to oppose a fresh appeal for the Bredbury Parkway Industrial Estate.

Quorum estates have now lodged an appeal with Stockport Council’s Planning Committee after they rejected the original plans submitted earlier this year.

In response, Denton and Reddish MP Andrew Gwynne and Hazel Grove MP William Wragg, have written to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government Robert Jenrick to request clarification on the application process.  

In the letter, Andrew Gwynne and William Wragg write that ‘for the past four years, the residents of Bredbury, Woodley, Haughton Green and Denton have been concerned about the impact an extension to the Bredbury industrial estate will have on their communities’ and state that the appeal has now ‘left the communities we represent concerned for the future.’  

Gwynne and Wragg are asking Robert Jenrick to ‘set out the statutory process for how this appeal will now be processed in line with planning legislation’.

Andrew Gwynne MP said: “It is within the rights of Quorum to appeal the decision; however local residents are understandably concerned about how this appeal will be heard. 

“That is why I’ve decided to work with William Wragg MP, and write to the Secretary of State to ask him to outline the appeals process.  

“It is for the Secretary of State to make a decision based on the evidence presented to him, but residents deserve to know how the appeal will be conducted.”
