What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Tanner Bros (Greenfield) Ltd applied for planning permission at Waterside Mill in Greenfield to demolish existing structures. The proposal involves converting older mill buildings into 59 apartments and constructing 26 homes on part of the site. Saddleworth Parish Council argues the plans should be rejected due to concerns about sewage, flooding, and the loss of land available for businesses in the area.
