The document - known as a ‘scoping report’ - says the firm is readying a ‘hybrid planning application’ for the proposed development.
A developer has revealed controversial plans to build a huge 1,500-home estate on green belt land in Rochdale. Redrow Homes has submitted papers outlining major proposals for a 220-acre site at Stakehill, on the southern edge of the town, near the M62.
The document - known as a ‘scoping report’ - says the firm is readying a ‘hybrid planning application’ for the proposed development of 1,500 homes’. This includes detailed proposals for a first phase of 300 properties and outline plans for the remaining 1,200.Vehicles would mainly enter the site via the A664 Manchester Road, but some homes would be accessed from Thornham New Road.
When submitted, the planning application will include assessments of the development's impact on views and the landscape as well as on wildlife and ‘cultural heritage’. But the scoping report says that there will be no high rise buildings and ‘the scale and massing of the proposed development will not cause changes to daylight or sunlight availability or cause overshadowing of residents amenity space'.
It reads: “The proposed development will provide housing and construction opportunities. It is expected that the construction employment would be taken up by the existing local population and would not lead to new residents moving into the area for employment.”
