A ‘disappointed’ flying club has been denied in their mission to gain hangar space at the airstrip in Wigan.
The Lancs Aero Club wanted a place for their members to store their aircraft when they land at the site on Kenyon Hall Farm Airstrip, off Winwick Lane. Wigan Council decided that the 14x11 metre hangars would be inappropriate development on a greenbelt and would be a blot on the landscape.
The club’s chairman and his members believe this refusal and the reasons given are wrong.
