Quote: Buck Tarbrush "Maybe not housing , but its location near to the M606/62 could make it prime development land for large industrial storage or warehousing and distribution , which may not be bound by the same issues regarding contamination which house building does ?'"
I suggest you look on Google maps or something to see just how much acreage there is down the side of the M62. Much of it with direct access to the M606. Unlike Odsal, the only access to which is via the residential and narrow Stadium Road.
Prologis Park at the top of the M606 is already a work in progress and has over 12 acres available, deliverable in 24 weeks, if anybody wants some. The Euroway, Low Moor Trading Estate and others have plenty of ready built units already standing. And that's all just within a spit.
