Hundreds of New Homes Proposed for Littleborough Countryside Near Hollingworth Lake
Littleborough, UK – A significant development proposing the construction of 309 new homes on the picturesque countryside adjacent to Hollingworth Lake has been recommended for approval by Rochdale town hall officers. The large-scale housing scheme, identified for land bordering the popular tourist destination in Littleborough, is poised for a decision at a forthcoming planning committee meeting.
Bloor Homes is behind the ambitious project, which aims to build on land to the west of Hollingworth Road. The plans also include the creation of a replacement car park situated off Rakewood Road to accommodate visitors to the renowned beauty spot.
The developer's desire to build on this particular parcel of land has previously ignited local controversy, with concerns raised about the impact on the surrounding natural environment and the established character of the area.
The Rochdale Valiant, a local publication, is actively encouraging residents to voice their opposition to what we are describing as, "urban sprawl". The publication is urging townspeople to make their views known, particularly as the planning committee meeting scheduled for November 27th does not appear to include provisions for public consultation.
The final decision on the future of these hundreds of new homes now rests with the planning committee, who will weigh the town hall officers' recommendation against community concerns and the potential impact on one of Rochdale's most cherished natural assets.
