Plans to build a three-storey block of affordable flats which was likened to Strangeways prison have been given the green light despite neighbours’ concerns.
A developer had applied to Oldham council to construct the apartments on land which had been the site of the Former High Barn Resource Centre in Royton, which was demolished in 2018.
Under the plans by Lancet Homes, there would be 30 flats as part of the affordable housing scheme, to be managed by First Choice Homes Oldham.
