Dairy House Lane, Handforth, SK8 7NY

Description
The site currently comprises a series of single storey buildings originally built for military purposes use but most recently utilised as offices used as offices, industrial space and storage (Classes E(g), B2 and B8. The site area extends to approximately 14.26 acres (5.77 hectares).
External areas are predominantly a mix of amenity grass and hardstanding associated with the operation of the office buildings.
The Landowner proposes to demolish the existing buildings and create serviced development plots ready for employment premises to be delivered on a Freehold and Leasehold Design & Build basis.

Location
Positioned within the proposed Handforth Garden Village, located 3.5 kilometres east of Handforth district centre. Handforth’s district centre comprises of approximately 70 retail units, restaurants, healthcare facilities, library, railway station, educational establishments, and the Handforth Dean Retail Park.
Current access is from Dairy House Lane. The site is broadly bordered by the A34 to the west, the A555 (Manchester Airport Relief Road) the north, open farmland to the east and open countryside to the south. As part of the approved Garden Village masterplan produced by Cheshire East Council there are proposals to create a vehicular access from the roundabout off the A34 to the west. There are also slip roads to the west of the site which lead to two dumbbell roundabouts connecting beneath the A34 and providing a potential secondary access to Handforth Dean.
