Bolton Council originally granted planning approval for the site in January last year. However, the application was then called-in by the UK Secretary of State for Communities & Local Government, which granted approval following an examination in public earlier this year.

Harworth Group North West regional director Steven Knowles said: “Our site at Wingates will deliver up to 1.1 million sq ft of high quality logistics and manufacturing space, which will benefit from a strategic location next to Junction 6 of the M61 and its proximity to both Bolton and Wigan.

“Our placemaking will create an attractive environment where businesses want to locate and employees want to work. We will now engage with local stakeholders to begin enabling works on-site in early 2022.”
