Energy developer, Balance Power, has been granted approval for a site in Rochdale. The 30MW facility, off Dig Gate Lane, will help power approximately 16,225 homes and play a key role in strengthening grid stability. Comprising 12 battery units with a total storage duration of two hours, the project is expected to cut CO₂ emissions by around 11,080 tonnes annually – the equivalent of taking approximately 7,950 cars off the road or planting 17,730 trees.

A fly-tipping hotspot in Dukinfield has left one man frustrated by how much of a ‘dump’ his town has become. Peter Potts has a garage on Lime Street, just off the main strip of King Street in the Tameside town. In the past six months it has become a spot for fly-tippers to dump their rubbish, much to the upper Dukinfield resident’s annoyance. He’s even had to clear rubbish other people have dumped in front of his garage, just to access it.

The former Tack Lea Works on Bury and Rochdale Old Road has stood empty for decades, but will soon welcome 32 new homes. Hall & Co Developments Limited will convert the 19th century dye-works in Birtle into 26 houses that ‘take inspiration from the area’s agricultural past’ alongside a block of six flats. Alex Richardson, who lives opposite the site, told Rochdale council’s planning committee he was ‘mystified’ as to how this application could be approved.

Behind Hare Hill Road is some grassland with two rows of garages – some of which are in poor condition. Those garages would be flattened and replaced by the three-bedroom homes under new plans. Residents of Hare Hill Road believe the new homes would overlook neighbouring properties; restrict access to the fire station; take away a play space for children;  take away used garage space;  and add to the ongoing parking problem.
