Omega Development Site

Omega Development Site

Omega, comprising 226 hectares straddling the M62 Motorway in Warrington, Cheshire is a property development site. The site comprises a large part of the former RAF/USAF Burtonwood airbase. A new junction on the M62 (junction 8) was built in anticipation of the development.[1]

The whole site will provide 650,000 sq m of offices, manufacturing and distribution space along with ancillary leisure/retail facilities, hotel and conference facilities. Around 24,000 jobs are likely to be created over the lifetime of the scheme to make one of Europe's largest business parks.[2]

In September 2008 it was revealed that, with anticipated demand for business use falling, the Government had considered using part of the site for a new large "Titan" prison. However plans have been rejected.[3]
