The housebuilder has set out plans for 50 homes south of Denbigh Drive in Crompton, within a borough that it said is delivering only 80% of its housing target.
Miller Homes plans to deliver three- and four-bedroom housing on a 7.9-acre agricultural plot, insert a new access point off Denbigh Drive, and add landscaping across the scheme.
The site, which sits to the south of the High Crompton housing area, is identified as “Other Open Protected Land” in Oldham’s adopted development plan: however, it also sits within the Cowlishaw draft housing allocation area included in the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework, this zone being proposed as capable of delivering 460 dwellings.

New housing estate proposed for countryside site Reporter: Charlotte Green, Local Democracy Reporter Date published: 17 December 2020
Miller Homes hopes to start construction in the summer of 2021
A new housing estate of more than 50 homes is proposed to be built in the Oldham countryside.
Developer Miller Homes is currently consulting on plans for 52 ‘family’ houses on land behind Denbigh Drive in High Crompton.
The site has been earmarked for development as part of the Cowlishaw allocation of the controversial Greater Manchester Spatial Framework.
Under the latest plans, there would be 25 three bedroom homes, and 27 four-bedroom properties.
The developer says that it would also see the retention and conservation of the ponds at Cowlishaw Farm and ‘high value’ marshy grassland.
