Bath Vale Works, Congleton
Richborough Estates acquired the former metal pressing works site known as "Bath Vale Works" in Congleton in 2005.
The acquisition marked the end of the road for metal stamping on this particular site due to cheaper production from competition overseas. This general downturn in manufacturing activity in the UK and the poor quality of buildings at Bath Vale Works means re-development was paramount.
The site, which is near Congleton town centre, is approximately 25 acres and consists of industrial land, woodland and open countryside, with the “brownfield” element of the site being approximately 8 acres. There were approximately 157,000ft2 of dilapidated industrial buildings and offices.
After extensive consultation with Congleton Borough Council and local residents, a sympathetic residential housing scheme was submitted in June 2007 for up to 130 dwellings. Consent was granted in 2008 and the site was eventually sold to Bovis Homes in 2010 once we had undertaken full remediation of the site.
