A RESIDENTIAL development has been given the go ahead by planning officials.

An application for 56 homes on a plot sandwiched between New Road and Lidgett Lane at Tankersley was submitted by Richard Weilding.

It had been approved earlier this year but the applicant resubmitted amended plans to incorporate new property styles.

The amended plans for the site went before the council’s planning regulatory board on Tuesday where it was given the green light, subject to several conditions including one that stipulates parking and manoeuvring areas are surfaced with a solid material and not with loose chippings such as gravel.
