Still time to join the conservation conversation

Are you a fan of Falinge Fold?

If you love your local area and care about its character then the council wants to hear from you.

As part of its responsibility for identifying and preserving sites of historical or architectural interest in the borough, the council’s planning team wants your views on proposals to make this special location a conservation area.

A draft appraisal report summarising the unique character of this community is now available for members of the public to view. 

Falinge Fold’s distinctive character is a result of its historic development from the mid 17th century and later with the notable mercantile and banking family, the Royds.

Comments on the full draft appraisal can be made online or be sent to Christina Sinclair, Floor 1, Telegraph House, Baillie Street, Rochdale, OL16 1JH or at christina.sinclair@rochdale.gov.uk 

The closing date for comments is 11 February.

Views will be reported to township committee where a final decision on the conservation area will be made.
