Families horrified as 'monstrous' 60ft warehouses built near homes

Families have been left horrified after 60-foot tall warehouses were built metres from their homes.

Residents in Tyldesley, Wigan, branded the colossal steel frames 'monstrous' as they became the latest structures to be installed at a 350,000 sq ft industrial site.

Plans from developer PLP show the enormous complex will eventually host four warehouses, with the council agreeing to a maximum height of 18.3m (60ft) for two of the buildings.

Delivery giant Whistl has already snapped up one of the huge sheds, signing a 15-year deal for the unit.

But locals living in the shadow of the behemoths are less than impressed, saying it feels like a 'cruise ship' has landed in their back gardens.
