Site of former Radcliffe pub primed for 40 flats
Candy Investments has submitted outline plans to Bury Council for a six-storey apartment block where the Wellington pub once stood.
The Radcliffe proposal is for 40 affordable flats – 39 with one bedroom and one with two – on the corner of Pilkington Way and Stand Lane south of the town centre.
Upon completion of the scheme, Altrincham-based Candy intends to handover the flats to an as-yet-unidentified registered provider.
Equilibrium Architects is advising the applicant on the proposals. To learn more, search for reference number 72367 on Bury Council’s planning portal.
The site was most recently occupied by the Wellington but the pub closed more than a decade ago and the site has since been cleared.
Amenities located nearby include the Radcliffe Metrolink stop, around half a mile away, as well as Coronation Park and the under-construction Radcliffe Hub.
The scheme would be accessed by cars via Mellor Street off Stand Lane. 18 parking spaces are proposed.
What a horrible austere design!

Ugly concrete building

This anything to do with Bury Council’s live tender for 40 young care leaver apartments? Be a bit smelly going out to tender when something is already lined up…

Looks like brick not concrete and I quite like the design.

Is this meant to partly replace Strangeways Prison ? Yet another horrible , ugly , depressing lump of grey concrete. Horrible .

I hope to see the day when all new developments move away from designing buildings with grey brick. It looks dull and horrendous.

Utterly dreadful design, not in keeping with the older buildings on the street. It would be a shame for this design to get through given the regen potential for the town.
