Benefits of the development

In terms of key benefits, the development will:

Provide a mix of 300 family homes in an accessible and sustainable location to help meet the future housing needs of the Borough;

• Following an options appraisal for the school location, we will provide land for a new primary school in the south east corner of the site;
• Facilitate the development a new car park for visitors to Hollingworth Lake;
• Deliver an integrated and high-quality network of public open space, green connections, and walking and cycling infrastructure, which will significantly improve access between the site, Hollingworth Lake, Rochdale Canal, the two railway stations and Littleborough town centre;
• Maximise the site’s Pennine fringe setting with a landscape led approach to development which makes the most of the site’s existing landscape features and the natural setting; and
• Support Rochdale Council’s emerging Littleborough Station Area SPD by introducing new residential uses close to Littleborough
