The former Smithybridge Pub
Proposals for new social housing at the ‘eyesore’ site of the former Smithybridge pub are being developed by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH).
RBH is working with partners Triangle Architects and Armstrong Projects to develop proposals to build 14 new apartments on the site of the former pub, which has been derelict for a number of years.
Planning to transform the site into a Co-op store had been submitted in 2017, but no progress has been made.
Designed to be in keeping with the local area, the RBH plans would create 14 new one and two bedroom apartments, over 2 storeys, all for affordable rent; rents of up to 80 per cent of market rent which registered providers of social housing can charge for certain residential properties.

Plans for new social housing to be built by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) at the Strand in Kirkholt have been granted permission by Rochdale Council.
The plans for 32 new homes include 10 two-bedroom houses, 18 houses with three bedrooms, and four houses with four bedrooms. RBH say all 32 homes will be for genuinely affordable rent. They have been designed by Triangle Architects, who also designed the Strand Hub and the new Kirkholt health centre. The homes will be built by Lovell Partnerships with the support of funding from Homes England.
