The building is steeped in local history
Part of a historic cotton mill in Oldham is due to be transformed into an residential complex with more than 100 apartments - despite opposition from locals.
Located in the Failsworth Pole Conservation Area, it used to employ over 75,000 spindlers. Later, it played a vital role in producing the war plane, the Lancaster Bomber, which earned it a visit from King George in 1939. The application came in front of the planning committee once before in July, when councillors decided to defer a final decision over ongoing discussions about the amount of affordable housing to be made available on site. At the time, Mr Dean’s agent made a last minute offer to include 10 affordable homes in the designs.
The application received 14 objections from locals on the planning portal. One objector, Jill Wate, told the planning panel that the development would have an ‘detrimental impact’ on residents and that dentists, GPs and schools in the area were already ‘struggling to cope’ with the demand of the area.
