Land Adjacent to Thornsett Trading Estate, Birch Vale, New Mills, High Peak, SK22 1AH

The site is prominently positioned at the entrance to the Thornsett Trading Estate and in part comprises a 1.28 acre (5,180 sq m) parcel of levelled and cleared developable land with planning consent for a scheme of light industrial premises. Additionally, there is an adjoining narrow parcel of land extending to approximately 0.61 acres (2,469 sq m) which is tree covered and extends towards the site's western boundary, beyond which is High Hill Road. This site provides a further opportunity for additional car parking, open storage or further development, subject to HPBC approval.
The site is bounded to the north by the access road, and to the south by the River Sett. The main site is currently cleared and levelled and it provides a dedicated electricity sub-station within the north-western corner. This was installed and adopted by Electricity Northwest (National Grid) on a lease to Electricity Northwest dated December 2021.
The site features low level timber post and barbed wire fencing to its entire perimeter aside from a pair of double metal gates at its northern boundary to allow vehicular and pedestrian access.

Birch Vale is close to the border of the Peak District National Park, between New Mills (1.5 miles to the west) and Hayfield (1.5 miles to the east). The site is located to the front of Thornsett Trading Estate and is approached along an adopted access road off Thornsett Lane. Within the wider area, the town of Chapel-en-le-Frith is situated approximately 6.5 miles to the south-east and Stockport, with its access to the M60 Motorway, lies 9 miles to the north-west. The nearest stations are New Mills Central and New Mills Newtown with regular links to Manchester and Sheffield. In addition, the development is only a 15 minute drive from the relatively new (A555) Manchester Airport Eastern Link Road, providing direct access to Manchester Airport and the M56.
The site is only 0.5 miles away from the soon to be completed High Hill View Development by Wain Homes which incorporates 96 new homes.
