Homes go-ahead at Lancaster Club

Oldham Council Planning Committee
THE historic Lancaster Club will be converted into nine new homes and a community centre.

Oldham’s planning committee approved the change to the Grade II-listed Failsworth building, which includes plans for140 homes on the site.

A commercial soccer centre with 10 short pitches will also be opened on the club’s Broadway site following approval of the plans. Existing pitches will be moved to a site in Limeside Road, Oldham. Present allotments will be moved to a different part of the site and increased in number.

Oldham Council is now looking for a partner for the development, which includes shops, offices, restaurants and cafes.

Council leader Jim McMahon said: “The Lancaster Club site offers huge potential for high-quality homes which Failsworth and the surrounding area needs.”
