Developer to start construction of Stockport project early next year

BDP has won approval for the 253-home Weir Mill regeneration scheme in Stockport for developer Capital & Centric.

The developer plans to restore and convert the Victorian mill buildings, which it claims inspired the art of Salford painter LS Lowry, into what is describes as a 鈥渧ibrant town centre community鈥.
