The developer of a housing development in Oldham is at loggerheads with locals
A housing development in Oldham that has faced seven years of planning struggles is locked in a stalemate between neighbours and the council over ‘nightmare roads’. The 23 new homes on land off Haven Lane, Moorside are almost completed - but won’t be occupied until the planning spat is resolved.

She also suggested that this was stopping the company from ‘reinvesting in social value initiatives and affordable housing’.
Neighbours called the plans a 'kick in the teeth' after they had been significantly changed from initial plans submitted in 2018, which were found to be ‘unfeasible’. They feared the new plans would cause major parking issues because of widened pavements, speed bump placements and a raised junction area.
