NJL wins Tameside retail park instruction

Manchester-based planning firm NJL Consulting has been instructed by LaSalle Investment Management to provide strategic planning advice for the Snipe Retail Park in Ashton under Lyne.

The retail park, situated just off junction 23 of the M60 close to Ashton town centre, comprises 270,000 sq ft of retail and warehouse space.  It currently includes stores such as B&Q, Next, Currys, Staples, Carphone Warehouse, Argos, Comet, and Halfords.

Mark Saunders, senior planner at NJL Consulting, said: “The instructions for the Snipe Retail Park are the latest of a number of ongoing projects with LaSalle. In the short-term we will be overseeing the promotion of the site within the emerging Local Development Framework policy consultations”.

“Ultimately, we are looking to protect and enhance the reputation of the park as a popular and vibrant retail park in the Tameside area of Manchester, and we look forward to working with various partners to achieve this goal.”
