Former Shepherd s Mill/Tack Lea Works site, Norden, Rochdale
Plans have been submitted for 56 houses at the old Shepherd Mill and Tack Lea Works site, in Norden, Rochdale.
The proposals, lodged by Empire House Piccadilly Ltd, include a mixture of three and four-bedroom properties, with two car parking spaces each.
Vehicles would access the site via the former entrance of the former Shepherd Mill site, opposite Blackpits Road.
Although previously developed, a small part of the land – which is divided by Woodhouse Lane Brook – lies within the green belt.
But the developer argues this should not act as a barrier to development, as the proposals would have no more impact than the current buildings.
