Plans for a four-storey apartment block have been scaled back after concerns were raised about the height of the building.
Yew Tree Developments plan a 35-flat development on land off Church Street in Westhoughton, across from the town’s railway station. The site, known as Stots Pot Yard, was previously used by a fencing company for the manufacturer of timber fences and gates.
The developer plans to demolish the existing buildings and build a 3.5 storey building, comprising of 35 apartments and 18 car park spaces. A design and access statement lodged with Bolton Council states that pre-application discussion with planners led to concerns about the height of the building, which was originally set to be four-storeys.
