A four-storey development will be built on the site of a demolished riverside pub shortly after the Boxing Day floods in 2015. Opulwood Developments plans to extend 16 apartments on the car park of the former waterfront pub, Kay Street, Summer Headquarters, near the River Irwell.
The domain used to purchase fabric has since been cleared. It is in the Green Belt and Brooksbottoms Conservation Area.
Plans to be put before Bury Council’s planning committee next Tuesday, state: “The River Irwell forms the boundary to the north and there are residential properties to the south and west opposite Kay Street. “There is a commercial building and a block of residential apartments to the north on the opposite bank of the river.
“Both structures are listed as Grade II. ” The proposed progression includes the structure of a single structure containing 16 apartments, spread over four stories in height and would be built in stone with an upper floor clad in zinc.
“It would be available on Rue Kay and a 30-space car park would be provided. “10 letters of opposition were received.
Issues included that the plans were “totally out of step with the conservation area” and that “the progression is more in line with Manchester city centre than with this sensitive historic area”.

Traffic issues were also mentioned, with one resident stating that “there are delays all the time when the bridge is not adding some other front and exit. “As for flood risk, the application states that an assessment found that the site would not be affected by flooding in a 100-year year, a 100-year plus 30 percent climate update period, and a 100-year plus 35 percent climate update period.
An extreme one in 1,000 year flood event would flood the lowest part of the site to a maximum depth of 0.14 m. The Environment Agency has no objections to the proposed development subject to conditions.
