Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) has recently received planning permission to develop 14 new homes for rent on a £1.4 million scheme at Longridge Drive, Heywood.

Gareth Swarbrick, Chief Executive for RBH said: “Heywood is an important regeneration area for RBH and these new homes will mark the start of our future investment in the area.”

The planning permission allows RBH to develop two 2-bedroom bungalows; eight 3-bedrooms houses and four 4-bedroom houses which will be available at an affordable rent advertised through the company’s choice based letting system.

The properties have been designed by TADW Architects and will include sustainable features which will help to minimise fuel bills. RBH plan to start on site in May and the properties are expected to be ready for occupation in March 2013.
