Developer loses appeal over proposals for store
Rochdale Observer
|May 21, 2025
THE developer who was refused permission to build a new Spar convenience store in Littleborough has lost an appeal.
At the beginning of 2024, James Hall & Co Ltd were denied by Rochdale Council planning committee in their bid to demolish the old Lake Garage off Smithy Bridge Road and replace it with a Spar convenience store and a cash machine.
This was the second time the developer had put forward the proposals to transform the former motor dealership and MOT/car repair garage after a previous refusal.
Despite the design and layout changes, council planning officers still believed there would be safety concerns for pedestrians.
