Mayoral Development Corporation for Stockport Town Centre West Survey

Overview

Since 2019, Stockport’s Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) has made rapid progress in delivering the Council’s and Greater Manchester Combined Authority's (GMCA) shared vision for the regeneration of Stockport’s Town Centre West. Just six years into our 15 year vision, 1,200 out of the target 4,000 new homes have been already been delivered or are currently under construction, three new blocks of Grade A office space have been created at Stockport Exchange, as well as a state of-the-art transport Interchange and a new two-acre park have been delivered on time and to budget.

We want to build on this success by expanding the boundary of the MDC to cover the whole of the town centre, enabling us to unlock the potential of the east of the town centre to deliver an even greater number of new homes.

Town centre living at this scale is rare in the UK, but we believe it is crucial to the long term challenges of housing our growing population, supporting our high streets, and achieving net zero.

We propose to expand the boundary of the Mayoral Development Corporation from the current area (Stockport Town Centre West – shown in red below) to cover the whole of the town centre area (including Stockport Town Centre East- expanding to include the area shown in blue).
