Green light given to convert mill into new homes

The former Tack Lea Works on Bury and Rochdale Old Road has stood empty for decades, but will soon welcome 32 new homes.

Hall & Co Developments Limited will convert the 19th century dye-works in Birtle into 26 houses that 'take inspiration from the area's agricultural past' alongside a block of six flats.

Alex Richardson, who lives opposite the site, told Rochdale council's planning committee he was 'mystified' as to how this application could be approved.

"This application is double the previously approved housing scheme of 14 homes," Mr Richardson told the meeting in Number One Riverside.
