Planning chiefs have backed a proposal to build flats on an ‘attractive focal point’ despite public objections over the loss of trees and green space.
The scheme would see a pair of two-storey blocks built on a half acre site between Broad Street, Yates Street And Chapel Street, in the Rhodes area of Middleton.
The application, from Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, would bring eight two-bed apartments to the area, served by an access road off Broad Street.
