Just south of the M60, this area contains low-grade commercial uses in need of revitalisation. The area also contains under-used open land, a boat repair yard and some cleared sites.

The opening of the M60 and the associated Moss Way has transformed the visibility and accessibility of the area which now enjoys both excellent road access and nearby bus services.

High quality employment (light industrial) in a growth sector is sought for this key site, subject to consideration of traffic impact on adjoining roads.

The Ashton canal running through part of the area presents an opportunity to develop an interesting feature into the overall design.
