Controversial plans for a new housing estate in the Hyde green belt have attracted scores of objections.
Metacre Limited has applied to Tameside council to build 91 homes on land at Matley Lane, which is currently open countryside.
The planning statement acknowledges the site is ‘located wholly within the green belt’ and would need very special circumstances to gain planning permission. However the applicant states it would meet an ‘acute local housing need’ and deliver ecological benefits.
