Pub-to-flats plan is back on table
Rochdale Observer
|July 09, 2025
PLANS to convert a 19th century Rochdale pub into flats have been put back on the table.
Royds Arms sits within a conservation area of Rochdale and has been vacant for more than a year. But when plans were tabled to transform the Rooley Moor Road site into six new one-bedroom apartments, Rochdale Council said no.
Since that decision in January, developers Bidwell Ventures UK have redesigned the scheme and requested planning permission once again.
The planning team at Rochdale council rejected the proposal after finding that three of the flats 'would not get enough light'.
Council officers also believed the changes to the building would harm the Spotland Fold Conservation Area.
