CAMPAIGNERS HAIL DECISION TO PRESERVE BELOVED 'PONDEROSA' GREEN SPACE
AN ESTATE is celebrating after a beloved piece of green space land was officially listed as a protected asset.
The wild grassland in the heart of the Langley estate in Middleton is a well-loved community space for locals.
But it faced jeopardy last year when Big Help Langley Development CIC (Community Interest Company) tabled a plan to build 30 new homes there.
Neighbours surrounding what they call 'the Ponderosa' were left outraged, claiming the plan would take away their last bit of green space.
Residents were relieved when the plan of eight homes and three apartment blocks of 22 flats was formally withdrawn by the developers in March.
