Councillors in Mossley said it would be 'complete madness to develop this piece of land'
Plans for a new housing development in Mossley have been knocked back again after a councillor complained it would cause ‘traffic havoc’.
There had been 30 objections from members of the public raising concerns about the impact on traffic and the number of houses being proposed. Mossley ward councillors Stephen Homer and Tafheen Sharif had also objected, as did Mossley Town Council.Tameside planning officers had said the site was a ‘sustainable’ location for housing, but recommended the application be refused over the scale and design of the development.
“Anything that causes issues on that road leads to traffic backing up pretty much to the junction pub on Mossley Road, it’ll be backing up down into bottom Mossley, it’ll be backing up to Greenfield,” he said. He added: “If you live in Mossley this is a major inconvenience, this is a major problem at that junction. It often comes to a standstill.”
“There have already been four schemes submitted for consideration by the council. We reduced the number of houses on the site, we’ve reduced the heigh of the buildings. There’s a construction management plan that’s been submitted and accepted by the highways authority.
