On behalf of Jigsaw Homes, Eden co-ordinated the submission of a full planning application for the development of 15 one-bedroom supported living apartments in Oldham. This project is part of Jigsaw Homes’ Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme.

As part of the planning case, Eden demonstrated the suitability of the proposed use in the town centre by highlighting the Council’s goal to diversify and regenerate the area. The location was also shown to be ideal due to its access to local services, amenities, and public transport links.

Throughout the application process, Eden worked closely with the consultant team to address feedback from the Environmental Health Officer, ensuring that mitigation measures were in place to protect future residents from noise impacts from the nearby main road and Metrolink tram line.

The proposal received a recommendation for approval and was successfully granted planning permission by the Planning Committee in June 2024.
