A developer has said green belt land would 'have to be released elsewhere' if they were to scale down their controversial 1,100 home masterplan at Mosley Common. This came after more than 3,400 people signed a petition - started by campaigner Andy Brown - calling for Wigan Council to investigate whether there is a need to give up green belt land for more houses that are 'not needed'.
The petition has only been live for three weeks and has already amassed a large amount of signatures. It only needs 5,000 for the issue to be debated at full council.
“When we saw Bury Council withdraw one of their sites, it set a precedent,” Andy Brown said.
