A NEW Aldi, more than 700 homes and two office buildings could be given the go-ahead next week when planning chiefs meet.

A secondary school, a park and a community hub are also planned at the former Jackson's Brickworks site in Newton Heath where around two-thirds of the 716 homes, which are set to be built in two phases, would be affordable.

An Indian restaurant would be demolished to make way for the new £5m supermarket planned in Moston which is expected to create up to 50 jobs.

And plans to build two office blocks, up to 14 storeys in height, next to Co-op's headquarters in Angel Square have also won the backing of town hall planners.
