Village pub to be transformed into flats

Cedar Tree Bar and Grill pub in Newhey, Milnrow

A pub in Newhey that has seen less and less punters coming through its doors will be turned into flats.

The Cedar Tree Bar and Grill has seen a drop in custom over recent years, which sparked owners to submit plans to convert the building into flats. According to plans submitted by Rachel Gamer, the Haugh Fold site will be turned into seven new flats.

The three-storey stone building in the Rochdalian village would comprise two, two-bedroom flats and five one-bedroom flats.

The outside appearance of the building will remain largely unchanged, according to planning papers. This is to preserve its architectural character and to make sure the building remains in keeping with the area.

Planning papers read: “The Cedar Tree Bar and Grill has experienced a significant decline in patronage, reflecting a broader national trend of decreasing pub usage.

“The community’s social needs will continue to be met as the Newhey area has several other restaurants and pubs, including The Bulls Head, Newhey Lodge Sports Bar, Char and Bank Chambers, and Top Bird.

“There is a recognized need for additional housing in Rochdale, particularly affordable flats for young professionals and small families.

“The property’s proximity to public transport, schools, and local amenities makes it an ideal location for residential use.”

Rochdale councils planning officers granted approval to the plans last week.
