A large three storey, six-bedroom semi-detached Victorian villa in Stalybridge will become a house of multiple occupation (HMO) once it has an extension built.
Tameside Council approved the plan to demolish the current outbuilding and extension at the Stamford Street building and replace it with a single storey extension to the side and rear of the property.
Local objections cited parking issues from too many HMOs as a big concern for the site situated close to West Hill School and Stamford Park.
Despite these local concerns, the plan was approved as it met regulation requirements and was not deemed to have a big enough impact on the character of the area to be refused.
Meanwhile, big fabrics manufacturer based in Hyde has been given permission to build a new 12m high silo.
The new silo for industrial use at Louverlite, known for making luxury window blind fabrics, will sit alongside another identical silo off Mill Street that was installed back in 2021.The silo will be used to supply two extruder machines with raw plastic pellet type material.
The council deemed this to be continued investment in the borough at a long-established industrial site, supporting economic growth.
