Plans for the UK’s biggest urban farm and eco-park in Oldham which bosses hope will attract 100,000 visitors a year are set to be decided next week.
Officers are recommending approval for the first major phase of the Northern Roots project, which focuses on the top half of the 160-acre site in Snipe Clough.
It will include a visitor centre, with spaces for events and meetings and a café and shop, a natural amphitheatre and performance space as well as a learning centre, forestry depot and solar panels. The application also includes outline proposals for a natural swimming pond and a community growing allotment.
