A developer has submitted plans for a ‘high quality’ apartment block in Heywood town centre.
The four-storey building would be built on vacant brownfield land between Earl Street, Taylor Street and Bethel Street, next to Trinity Methodist Church.
Described as ‘attractive’ and ‘well-designed’ the proposal would bring 23 new homes to the area – including 15 one-bedroom and eight two-bed apartments.
However, none of the flats would be affordable, as the developer Agron Elezi argues it would not be financially viable.
Mr Elezi has previously been at the centre of controversy in connection with two homes he built on vacant land in Halewood, Merseyside.
