WE ARE INSTRUCTED BY NUFFIELD HEALTH TO ARRANGE A SALE OF ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PLOTS SITUATED WITHIN MANCHESTER’S OXFORD ROAD CORRIDOR. It was acquired by our client in 2014 with the intention of building a new hospital and fitness centre. Despite demolishing many of the buildings comprising the former Elizabeth Gaskell university campus and obtaining full planning permission for their proposed scheme, the development was never realised and the site has remained fallow since 2016. By taking advantage of multiple road frontages around the site, it should be possible to create a truly mixed use scheme that blends a hard commercial frontage to The University Hospital complex with the charm of a tranquil leafy Conservation Area. The site provides an opportunity for comprehensive redevelopment. Manchester is acknowledged to be the UK’s second largest populated city (source – Statista) and the dominant commercial centre for the North of England. It is situated approximately 210 miles north west of London. The site is located between a series of key transport corridors into the city centre, nestled between Oxford Road and Upper Brook Street. Due to the position of the site, it is within easy reach via these main thoroughfares to the city centre and the motorway network to the south. The site is bounded by Hathersage Road to the north, the A34 (Upper Brook Street) to the East and Oxford Place to the south. It is located within the northern extremities of the Victoria Park district, approximately 3km south of Manchester city centre.
