Planning committee

Decided by Oldham Planning Committee on 23 Sept 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

Officers advised approval because the vacant building could be reused without unacceptable effects on amenity, highways or the nursery.
Residents and the MP raised concerns about parking, highway safety, the nursery, HMO concentration and living conditions.
The committee voted seven to two to refuse the application because parking and highway safety impacts had not been demonstrated acceptable.
