Jigsaw Homes wants to transform the derilect Rockleigh Hotel site on Bolton Road, Ashton-in-Makerfield, into affordable housing.
Permission to demolish the ruin has already been granted by the council so this application, if approved, would see housebuilding begin once the land has been cleared.

All the homes would be available for affordable rent and managed by Jigsaw Homes.
The proposal is to build 13 two-storey blocks with 19 parking spaces to accommodate the tenants. The developer believes this is a “sustainable location” due to the nearby sports, leisure, education and transport facilities.
“The proposed development will be owned and managed by Jigsaw Homes North, a Registered Provider and part of Jigsaw Homes Group,” a planning statement said.
