The abandoned Britannia New Mill in Mossley will be demolished and replaced with housing.
The former industrial complex on Queen Street, just off Manchester Road, was last in use back in 2022. It will now be transformed into 49 new homes.
A four-storey apartment block with 32 flats and 17 semi-detached, terraced and townhouses will be built by developers Holmpatrick Ltd.
All the new homes will be available for affordable rates (up to 80 per cent of market value). Tameside council’s latest planning panel meeting was told how a new riverside walkway will also be created within the ‘buffer zone’ between the site and the River Tame.
The proposal includes the provision of 50 car parking spaces, with 14 for the apartment block, 30 allocated spaces for the houses and six visitor spaces. The site will be managed by housing provider Onward Homes.
