en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bury Council's Planning Committee approved the planning application from Crown Gas & Power Limited for a new headquarters at Chamberhall Industrial Estate on April 21. The industrial estate project involves approximately 5 acres of land. Bury Council agreed in January of this year to sell the land to Crown for £200,000.
According to the planning statement by consultant P4, the total investment for the industrial estate project is £12 million. The headquarters building, located in the western half of the site, is a four-story structure covering 48,785 square feet, facing Havard Road with a setback. Parking is located in front and on both sides of the building, providing 193 spaces, including 10 accessible spaces and 20 electric vehicle charging points, along with 48 bicycle parking spaces and 2 motorcycle spaces.
The project also includes ancillary sports facilities, planning for an all-weather five-a-side football pitch and two padel courts. The ground floor will largely serve as staff facilities, including a gym, changing rooms, and a canteen, as well as open-plan office space and meeting rooms.
The eastern part of the site is planned for five industrial units within the industrial estate, intended for multi-tenant leasing. Four of the units are approximately 4,800 square feet each, with one larger unit at 6,180 square feet. Access will be from Magdalene Road. The landscape design revolves around a retained pond, with native and ornamental trees, native shrubs, and hedgerows planted along the boundaries.
Crown currently employs around 120 staff, with expectations to grow to 300 in the coming years. The design was handled by Barrowclough Architects. Other consultants include PWA, Civic Earth, KGA, Rachel Hacking Ecology, DEP, Bowland Tree Consultancy, and Miller Goodall.
