About
A strategic mixed use 74 hectares (183 acre) residential and employment scheme at the site of the former Horwich Locomotive Works. The development will feature 35,225 m2 (379,000 sq. ft.) of employment/mixed use commercial, the creation of 1,700 new homes and over 50 acres of open space including pedestrian and cycle routes.
The scheme retains a group of the original Loco Works buildings within the “Heritage Core” area at the centre of the site and will provide for a new access road linking the site with Horwich Parkway rail station, junction 6 of the M61 and the adjoining Middlebrook retail, leisure and Business Park.
The site is easily accessible from the road network at junction 6 of the M61, providing connections to Salford, Central Manchester, Manchester Airport by the A580 and M60/M602, and Preston by the M65 and M6.
