A public inquiry will be held later this year after proposals to build a luxury golf resort at Hulton Park in Bolton were rejected by a planning committee.
Peel L&P's plans for the historic site were approved by the Secretary of State in 2020, on the condition that the site was awarded the prestigious Ryder Cup golf tournament in 2031 or 2035. But in February of this year, councillors overwhelmingly voted against a revised vision for the site, which also included 1,036 homes, a primary school, short stay holiday accommodation, a hotel, conference centre and a village hall.
In May, Peel announced that the decision would be appealed and a date for a public inquiry has now been set. It will open on October 6 and representations can now be made on the Planning Inspectorate website.
