Planning committee
Decided by Rochdale Planning Committee on 2 Sept 2026.
Refused unanimously
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because conditions could control noise, lighting and other impacts, and the proposal was considered acceptable overall.
- Twenty-one objections raised concerns about noise, traffic, late-night activity, pollution, litter and effects on neighbours.
- The committee unanimously refused permission against the officer recommendation because of unacceptable noise and disturbance to nearby residents.
