AN old mill is set to be demolished to make way for 47 new homes.
Councillors on Bolton Council's planning committee voted to allow the director of regeneration and development, Keith Davies, to work out the fine details with developers Elite Homes.
Under the plan, a three storey apartment block and 20 town houses will be built on the site of Phoenix Mill at Settle Street.
Five letters of objection were sent to the committee on a number of grounds, including parking problems and the high density of the area's population.
But Cllr Mary Woodward told the committee: "I think this will be good for the area."
