Two brownfield sites in Rochdale and Middleton have been given funding to be converted into housing sites, as part of the second phase of a £97m development fund.
An allocation of £7.44m to develop the two local sites – at the former Central Retail Park and the former British Vita site – was approved late last month at a meeting of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), as a total of £41m was approved for 21 brownfield sites across Greater Manchester.
