Plans for a new apartment block that would bring dozens of ‘high quality’ homes to a picturesque Pennines town have been revealed. The proposals, lodged by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, would see a four-storey building replace an old mill and industrial units at Brown Street, Littleborough.
Based within 'easy walking distance' of the town centre, the new block would boast 40 one and two-bedroom homes for ‘affordable’ rent. Residents would be served by 40 parking spaces - including two disabled bays - while access for vehicles and pedestrians would be from Brown Street.
