Historic railway building and eight-storey roundhouse could create ‘landmark’ Stockport apartments
An historic railway building could be transformed into new homes as part of a ‘landmark’ residential development including an eight-storey roundhouse. The plans would see the Grade II-listed engine house - on the fringes of Stockport town centre - converted into two apartments, while the ‘eye-catching’ roundhouse would provide a further 52 flats. Manchester-based Promised Way Ltd is proposing a mix of one, two and three-bed homes for the land near Stitch Lane, in Heaton Norris - which was previously used by a vehicle sales firm. Planning papers say the proposal is for a ‘high quality, innovative and eye-catching residential development, respectful of the site’s heritage’ which would ‘energise and uplift the local area’.
