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.

Before being knocked down in 2012, the site off Back Lane had fallen to rack and ruin. Now Onward Homes will build 14 houses on the vacant space. The developer says all the new three-bedroom homes will be high-quality and affordable. Once built, the homes will be available for either affordable rent, rent-to-buy or shared ownership, to help meet identified housing needs in the local area. But the big sticking point for locals was the parking provision – with just 15 spaces included in the proposal.

Good Hope Mill, now known as Good Hope Business Centre, currently consists of separate retail and commercial units as well as a place of worship. When planning permission was approved last year, all the one-bedroom homes at the Cross Street site were to be made available for social and affordable rates (up to 80 per cent of market value). The latest version of the plan, taking away all the affordable homes, left a sour taste in the mouths of the panel.

A ‘lifeline’ bus service has been brought back to Middleton after local outrage. Transport bosses recently removed a section of the 125 bus route covering Knight Crescent in the Silver Birch Estate in the town. The service, which runs from Heywood to the centre of Middleton, is the only bus serving Birch and Hopwood.
