Plans to build 1,250 homes on a green belt area of Bury are set to be withdrawn this week. The 158-acre site in the Walshaw area, was previously earmarked for development in the Greater Manchester Places for Everyone housing and development masterplan which sets out plans for the region for the next two decades.

However, housing development sites on green belt land set to deliver thousands of additional homes at Elton reservoir and Simister and Bowlee still remain in the plans.

The plans have proved controversial in the borough with the council’s Conservative opposition group and the Radcliffe First party, who have eight members, vehemently opposing any green belt housing development in Bury.
