A major development in Stockport has moved a step closer after the council gave its own developments planning permission in January this year. Approval was given for the £45m Redrock leisure scheme in Stockport town centre, which includes the Burrows Little designed 10-screen cinema for The Light, restaurants and shops. The Redrock development, formerly known as Bridgefield, includes a 1,200-space multi-storey car park, a public square and the pedestrianisation of Princes Street and Bridgefield Street. Work is set to start this year with a view to occupation by 2017.
Councillor Patrick McAuley, the council’s executive member for economic development and regeneration, said: “This is a very exciting time for Stockport. Developments such as these help our ambition of putting Stockport on the map to bring more people to work, shop and socialise here.”
Burrows Little are currently preparing detail design and construction drawings.
