Pioneer Mill, Milltown Street, Radcliffe, Manchester, M26 1WN

The site is located at the end of Milltown Street, in Radcliffe, Bury, Greater Manchester. Junction 17 of the M60 is approx. 2.5 miles south east which provides easy access to the wider motorway network. The site is bound to the north and eastern boundaries by the River Irwell.

The immediate area is predominantly commercial but also with a mix of residential housing. There are plans for a major new scheme in the area for 400 homes at the former East Lancs Paper Mill site, Radcliffe. This is a partnership agreement between Homes England and Morris Homes to develop this site which is one of the largest brownfield housing sites in the borough.

MILLTOWN STREET BRIDGE REINSTATEMENT
A project has been commenced to restore the Milltown Street Bridge which was destroyed in 2015 during the Boxing Day floods. The £3.2 million bridge reinstatement project will restore a long missing link in Radcliffe's local infrastructure and significantly improve walking and cycling access to and from Radcliffe town centre and neighbouring communities. This directly links the Pioneer Mill site with the neighbouring community and provides easy access to Radcliffe town centre.

DESCRIPTION/PLANNING
The site has been used for many years as a commercial warehouse mill premises which has been let to multiple tenants. The Mill is now vacant and in derelict condition with part having been demolished following a recent fire at the site.

It should be noted that the site does sit within a flood zone.

There is no alternative planning on the site other than its historic use. It may suit redevelopment (STP). Interested parties should make further enquiries direct with the local planning authority.
