Any visitor to Stockport by train will likely have passed through Stockport Exchange.

Referred to as Stockport's 'business hotspot', this miniature district currently comprises three glassy office blocks, complete with commercial and open space just outside the railway station.

Stockport Council has now revealed further plans for the area, devised alongside Muse, the developer.

The next 'phase' of Stockport Exchange will be another office block, 60,000 sq ft and with ground floor space for shops, cafes, bars or restaurants.

The council announced that remaining phases will see a further 185,000 sq ft of office and commercial space, and the potential for up to 100 new residential apartments.

The updates comes not long after the third building in Stockport Exchange was completed (Images - bottom right: Stockport Council / main: Alasdair Perry)

Stockport Council and Muse are currently shaping detailed plans alongside the architect, Sheppard Robson.

As part of the plans, the council is inviting feedback from residents.

There are a number of ways to share your views:

• Via email to [email protected]
• By completing an online questionnaire HERE.
• By attending the drop-in session at 3 Stockport Exchange, SK1 3GG, from 3-7pm on Tuesday 20 February.

The consultation closes on 1st March 2024. Once the responses have been considered, the plans will be finalised, and a planning application submitted to Stockport Council in spring 2024.
