A new estate of 211 rental homes is set to be built on a brownfield site in Radcliffe. Kellen Homes were granted planning permission by Bury Council this week to build the homes at the site on York Street and Bury Road, close to the Morrisons regional distribution centre.
Some of the land, close to the River Irwell, is the former site of Unifi Dyed Yarns Ltd. Public open space will be provided in the northern part of the land and all the homes will be privately rented.
A meeting of Bury’s planning committee heard from, Gareth Glennan, representing Morrisons, who strongly objected to the plans, saying building the homes could affect ‘future operations’ at the distribution centre, which employs around 350 people.
