Two brownfield sites in Rochdale and Middleton have been given funding to be converted into housing sites, as part of the second phase of a £97m development fund.
An allocation of £7.44m to develop the two local sites – at the former Central Retail Park and the former British Vita site – was approved late last month at a meeting of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), as a total of £41m was approved for 21 brownfield sites across Greater Manchester.

STOCKTON COUNCIL chiefs have hailed “another piece in the jigsaw” after funding was signed off by Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen for a new housing project on the site of a now demolished five storey block of flats. Fourteen two-bedroom bungalows for older people and vulnerable residents are being created on the Elm House site, in Bath Lane, Stockton, which was cleared in 2019. Developer Keepmoat Homes said the speed at which it had received approval to start work on the site was “unprecedented” in the company’s history. Mr Houchen’s Tees Valley Combined Authority has been given £19.4m from the Government’s Brownfield Housing Fund to pave the way for 1,800 new homes on neglected and disused land over the next five years.
