Residential-led development opportunity in the heart of Droylsden town centre *** UNDER OFFER ***

The site comprises 2.30 acres cleared site in the heart of Droylsden town centre, fronting the A662 and overlooking Droylsden Marina. The 0.93 hectare vacant site was previously occupied by Droylsden Library (opened 1937, closed and subsequently demolished 2021) to the north and the community hall and swimming pool (opened 1966, closed and subsequently demolished 2005) that was on the land that is now adjacent to Lock Keepers Court. The Council will expect the new proposals to be appropriate to its context including: • Maximising the opportunity presented by this prominent gateway site adjacent to the existing marina and canal arm to contribute to a distinctive and legible built environment; • Being either a mixed residential development of housing, apartments or specialist housing (retirement or other) including an element of food and beverage; • Utilising building heights of up to six storeys adjacent to marina and library building. The site is to be offered for sale by way of an informal tender process. The deadline for submission of bids will be dealt with separately. Offers are invited for the freehold interest with vacant possession. A dedicated dataroom will be made available including site plans, title plans, topographical surveys and environmental surveys.
