Saddleworth School Planning Applications - The Last Chance To Act We are now within the public consultation period for the four planning applications which make up the Saddleworth School project. These are: PA/337301/15: Construction of a new Saddleworth School (for ages 11 to 16) with associated sports fields and pitches, external recreation and teaching space together with parking landscaping and associated works. PA/337931/15: Demolition of 5 no. buildings. LB/337929/15: Demolition of the link bridge connected to the listed office building. PA/337930/15: New car park drop-off facility, residents' parking area and associated highway works. PLEASE NOTE: All previous objections submitted under PA/337301/15 as part of the 1st public consultation WILL NOT apply to the new three planning applications. If you have objected already and you want to ensure that your voice is heard then the only way to do this is to submit further objections to the other three planning applications. (Two for the demolition and one for the highway works.) Or use our template objection letter. A special meeting of the Oldham Council Planning Committee will be held just to decide these applications on Thursday 25th February 2016 at 6.00pm The statutory consultation date has been extended to the 31st January 2016, but we have been told by Oldham Planning Department that objections can be sent in up to the 24th February 2016. We have been told that the Planning Officer will produce his report and recommendation to the Planning Committee about two weeks before the committee date, so to be sure that your objections are taken into account by the Planning Officer they will need to be received by 10th February 2016.
