More than 200 homes have been given final permission to be built on a former abattoir site despite councillors’ criticism that the design of affordable homes is ‘ugly’ and ‘absolutely dreadful’.
Outline planning permission for a housing development on the land off Cocker Mill Lane, which is designated ‘other protected open land’ (OPOL), was approved at the end of August 2020.
Under that permission up to 250 dwellings could have been built on the site, which was described as a ‘green lung’ for residents.

Now Oldham’s planning committee has approved detailed plans for 201 homes, allowing construction to go ahead once conditions are met.
There had been 58 objections from residents over the plans submitted by Anthony Blackwell.
Under the proposals the Cowlishaw Abattoir building would be knocked down and the site, and the green fields around it, developed into a housing estate with homes ranging from two-bed to five-bedroom properties.
There would be 21 properties delivered as affordable housing, split between social rented and ‘intermediate’ housing.
The majority of houses would be detached, although a small number of terraced homes – which would be the ones provided as affordable – are included in the plans
Crompton Councillor Diane Williamson raised concerns that the design of the affordable houses were ‘very distinct’.
“It makes me wonder why they’re being built like that, they just look like council houses rather than part of that estate,” she said.
“I think that will be an issue on here that they will know where these people live because they are so distinct from any other property on there.”
