Thousands of new jobs are set to be created in Crewe, after Cheshire East Council granted planning permission for Weston M6, a new state-of-the-art commercial and business park. 

Weston M6 will be located between the A500 and David Whitby Way in the emerging Basford East neighbourhood.

The Crewe scheme will break the mould of traditional business parks by creating a holistic working environment, prioritising the health and wellbeing of employees, visitors, and neighbours. 

Weston M6 will be located between the A500 and David Whitby Way in the emerging Basford East neighbourhood (Muse).

A network of footpaths, cycleways, pocket parks, and nature trails, will be constructed through Weston M6, creating high-quality workspaces with expansive greenery and nature.

Each unit built at Weston M6 will be fitted with sustainability features, including solar PV and EV charging points.

All offices will provide light and bright spaces for employees, aiming to boost their wellbeing.

Weston M6 will deliver six logistics and industrial units, totalling nearly 1.2million sq. ft of space, while a further five office blocks will provide around 100,000 sq. ft of space.

It is anticipated 2,900 new jobs will be created upon completion of the site, with 165 jobs provided during the construction phase.
