A decision on plans to build more than 1,000 homes and a Ryder Cup compatible golf course has been delayed after new documents were lodged at the last minute.
Bolton council’s planning committee gathered, along with more than 50 protesters, at a special meeting at Bolton Town Hall to decide on the highly controversial plans.
However, the meeting lasted just seven minutes with the committee told by chairman Coun John Walsh that a significant amount of new documentation on the plans had been submitted in the prior 24 hours, leaving it ‘inappropriate’ to proceed with the debate and decision.
