A supported living apartment block for young people with care needs is planned for a derelict site in Bury.
Proposals have been lodged this week by Irwell Valley Homes to build a two-storey block to provide 13 supported living flats with associated communal areas in a largely residential area at Willow Street, around one kilometre east of the town centre.
The land was formerly occupied by Bury Council Leisure services but was disposed of by the council last year. That decision was based on the recommendation that the site would help a brownfield first approach to housing delivery and create specialist accommodation for young adults with care needs.
