After being destroyed by fire in 2022, plans have been submitted to Stockport Council to rebuild a self storage facility off the A34 in Cheadle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Should Orbit\u2019s plans be approved, construction on site is expected to directly support around 170 full-time equivalent jobs and add over \u00a327 million into the local economy, falling to \u00a312 million once the self storage facility is operational.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Site owners, Orbit Investments (part of the Emerson Group of companies, which includes commercial landlord Orbit Developments), have submitted plans to replace the Armadillo self storage warehouse after a major fire in February last year tore through the property. Surviving parts of the building were declared unsafe and have already been demolished and removed from the site.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Proposals for the new site on Earl Road, close to the A34\/A555 Stanley Green junction will see a taller building with a smaller footprint replace the previous facility. By reducing the footprint of the self storage facility, additional development could be brought forward on remaining parts of the 4.3 acre site in a subsequent planning application, with the site in close proximity to other major projects, including the delivery of a 135,000 sq ft warehousing scheme at the site of the former BASF offices and the nearby Handforth Garden Village housing scheme.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Should Orbit\u2019s plans be approved, construction on site is expected to directly support around 170 full-time equivalent jobs and add over \u00a327 million into the local economy, falling to \u00a312 million once the self storage facility is operational.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
