Developers behind ambitious plans to build a luxury golf resort in Bolton are going to appeal against a planning committee's decision to reject the proposals.
Peel L&P's plans for the historic Hulton Park 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.
Despite the rejection and dozens of objections from local residents, Peel told the Manchester Evening News that they still remain 'confident' in the site's Ryder Cup bid and admitted that they could still implement the Secretary of State-approved proposals, even if an appeal is rejected.
