Westwood Park in Wigan provides an opportunity to create an exciting and high quality business park that will both attract investment and generate high quality job opportunities.

The site covers an area of 44 hectares, less than a mile from Wigan town centre and less than 2 miles from junction 25 of the M6.

A limited amount of development has already occurred on the site. A major financial organisation has a 60,000 sq ft contact centre, with adjacent development land. Wigan Council also has two recently completed 25,000 sq ft office buildings.

The park is aiming for high environmental standards and a quality working environment, with provision for a variety of building type and user.

An integral part of the Westwood Park development is the buildings within the site. The buildings will represent the core values of the park, portraying sustainable technology used sympathetically, particularly in an environmentally sensitive area. Three distinctive building styles are proposed for the landmark areas, with a more contemporary building for the less sensitive plots.

A comprehensive rail network serves Wigan. The West-Coast Mainline runs adjacent to Westwood Park, which connects up to the wider regional area, running from London to Scotland.

Vehicular access is from the north of the site. A comprehensive reworking of the road layout has enabled improved traffic flow and access. This is coupled with readily available space for expansion and possible connection to the proposed A5225 link road.
