Plans for a new housing development in Mossley have been knocked back again after a councillor complained it would cause ‘traffic havoc’.
Proposals to build houses and apartments on a plot of land on Stamford Road had previously been rejected over concerns about its design and highways safety implications, a decision that was upheld at appeal.
The new application lodged by Mr D Wilcox to Tameside council was to build nine houses on the site, three of which would have three bedrooms and six two-beds. They would have been two storeys high and staggered over three blocks, aside for one detached home.
There had been 30 objections from members of the public raising concerns about the impact on traffic and the number of houses being proposed. Mossley ward councillors Stephen Homer and Tafheen Sharif had also objected, as did Mossley Town Council.

Tameside planning officers had said the site was a ‘sustainable’ location for housing, but recommended the application be refused over the scale and design of the development.
Chair of planning, Melanie Hale, said it would result in a ‘cluttered appearance’. But she added: “Quite a lot of these developments generate quite strong feelings in relation to highways.”
Coun Stephen Homer spoke against the application, raising concerns that there were no highways issues as a result of the development on Stamford Road, especially during the construction phase, being highlighted as a reason for refusal.
“Anything that causes issues on that road leads to traffic backing up pretty much to the junction pub on Mossley Road, it’ll be backing up down into bottom Mossley, it’ll be backing up to

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer SAG-AFTRA and the major studios remain at odds on a dizzying array of issues, as film and TV actors hit the picket lines Friday for the first time since 1980. According to sources on both sides, the biggest sticking point is the union’s demand for 2% of the revenue generated by streaming shows. The two sides also remain far apart on basic increases in minimum rates, with the studios offering 5%, 4% and 3.5% across the three years of the contract, while the union is demanding 11%, 4% and 4%. But that only scratches the surface. The parties are at odds on dozens of issues, only a handful of which have been publicly reported.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Reese Witherspoon said in a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar that filming a sex scene at 19 years old for the 1996 thriller “Fear” was not “a particularly great experience.” Directed by James Foley, “Fear” stars Witherspoon as a teenager who falls for a sinister young man played by Mark Wahlberg. One of the film’s buzziest scenes centers on Witherspoon’s character having an orgasm on a rollercoaster while being pleasured by Mark Wahlberg’s character. “I didn’t have control over it,” Witherspoon said about filming the sex scene, adding that she requested a stunt double be used for the below-the-waist shots. “It wasn’t explicit in the script that that’s what was going to happen, so that was something that I think the director thought of on his own and then asked me on set if I would do it, and I said no. It wasn’t a particularly great experience.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Greta Gerwig revealed in a new interview with Rolling Stone that some “Barbie” set visitors made Margot Robbie feel “self-conscious” during filming when they interacted far more with her co-star, Ken actor Ryan Gosling, than they did with her. Gerwig was talking about the time the crew spent filming a rollerblading scene in Venice Beach. Set photos from the scene, featuring Robbie and Gosling in neon outfits, exploded on social media last summer during production. “How Barbie operates in Barbieland is she’s entirely continuous with her environment,” Gerwig said. “Even the houses have no walls, because you never need to hide because there’s nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed of. And suddenly finding yourself in the real world and wishing you could hide, that’s the essence of being human. But when we were actually shooting on Venice Beach, with Margot and Ryan in neon rollerblading outfits, it was fascinating because it was actually happening in front of us.”
