A large site on Bury New Road in Manchester is now on the market. Previously granted planning permission for a hotel, car showroom, and storage warehouse, the plot also holds potential for residential development, according to agent Hindley Lawrence.

Located just south of the Fairy Lane and Bury New Road junction, the freehold property at 118 Bury New Road is being sold for an undisclosed price. The site, once home to a row of terraced houses, now primarily features shrubs following the demolition of the houses.

Situated on a major thoroughfare, the site is near prominent establishments such as Halfords, Ready Steady Store, and Grosvenor Casino.

In 2022, clothing retailer BOI Trading proposed developing 136 apartments on the site. However, Manchester City Council rejected the application, citing that it did not fit the scale or character of the streetscape.
