Two housing plans were approved by the local authority’s planning panel on April 16.
Both applications in Hyde and Stalybridge were unanimously granted without contention.
A vacant children’s play centre in Hyde will be demolished and replaced by a three-storey apartment block and terraced homes. Alongside the 15 new studio apartments, the nine terraces are earmarked for the surrounding empty land on the corner of Syddall Street and Oldham Street.
The developer, Ascot Property Estate LLP, says terraced houses previously stood on this land before it was demolished. Car parking as well as public open space is also included in the proposals.
A new 18-home apartment block for Stalybridge was also approved by the panel. The site off Quarry Street, just next door to Trinity School, would see all the one-bedroom flats available for affordable rates (up to 80 per cent of market value).
The applicant, Jigsaw Homes, would own and manage the flats when work is completed.
