James Leggat has applied to Tameside Council to convert the Dog and Partridge, on Oldham Road.
According to documents, the building would house 11 units, along with a kitchen, dining facilities, toilets and a server room.
Externally, the only change to the site, which has been shut since May 2025, would see a new window put into a side wall.
And Tameside Council’s environmental services department has already given its backing to the proposal – a contaminated land report also raises no objection.
It is also claimed the office use is unlikely to increase traffic significantly compared to the public house use.
Paperwork states: “Office tenants may generate commuter traffic, but this is offset by the cessation of late-night and delivery traffic associated with the pub.

“With appropriate construction management and operational measures in place, the development will comply with national and local air quality standards.”
