Swinton could be seeing another new housing development
Swinton has been faced with many new housing developments over the past few years, this one though, has slipped under the radar.
Swinton has seen many new housing developments pop up in recent months but one that has slipped under the radar, is this one on Station Road.
This abandoned site has been used as a carpark however recently has been blocked with concrete slabs to prevent any kind of access.
The development plans, which were first submitted in 2024, shows the proposal to demolish 12 and 14 Station Road, and build on there a 4 storey building containing 32 apartments.
A bike shelter and 6 car parking spaces have also been proposed.
Currently, there are 5 objections and 1 person in favour of this development.
This development became more apparent since the local election campaign where it was stated on campaigning labour councillor Liz McCoy’s leaflet that this ‘exciting’ development would be taking place.
There is still no indication on the council website that this planning application has been approved - with the last update being 28th August last year.
There are new amended documents which suggests that the initial plans got rejected and amendments had to be made so this development could get the green light.
