The latest planning applications from across Oldham

Oldham Council has received a flurry of planning applications this week, ranging from major demolition works at Oldham College to residential extensions across the borough. The college has submitted two separate applications for demolition of polytunnels and metal containers, while homeowners are seeking permission for everything from garage conversions to elaborate loft extensions.

Among the most notable residential proposals is a single-storey side and rear extension with a rear dormer and front canopy at 52 Milton Street in Royton, alongside a hip-to-gable roof alteration at 126 Garforth Street in Chadderton. Tesco Stores Ltd has also applied to erect 18 illuminated and non-illuminated advertisements at its Featherstall Road North location.

The applications reflect ongoing development activity across Oldham, with Chadderton featuring prominently in the week's submissions. From Failsworth to Diggle, residents are making changes to their properties, while the college's demolition plans suggest significant redevelopment work may be underway at its Rochdale Road campus.

Planning officers will now assess each application against local planning policies and regulations before making decisions. Residents and interested parties typically have a window to comment on proposals before determinations are made.
