A three-storey block of flats and 16 houses will be built on the site of a former primary school. Plans have been approved this week for the 40-home development on the former St Osmund’s RC Primary School on Blenheim Road in Breightmet.
The site, around 50 metres from Leverhulme Park, has been vacant since 2008, when the school buildings were demolished. Planners at Bolton Council have this week approved the plans by Bellmac Developments.
A previous application for 52 dwellings on the site was refused by the council in 2008 and an appeal was then dismissed by the Planning Inspectorate.
The plans include a three-storey apartment block, 18 with one bedroom and six with two bedrooms. READ MORE: Give Greater Manchester more power to help young people, ex-levelling up chief says Elsewhere on the site 10 semi-detached red brick homes and a terrace of six town-houses will be built.
