Grundy Fold Farm
FIVE partially-built mansions have been ordered to be torn down after a planning inspector dismissed appeals from the house owners.
The luxury detached properties, at Grundy Fold Farm, off Chorley Old Road, for which Bolton Council issued an enforcement notice for demolition in 2018, were up to a third bigger and in different locations than allowed, a planning inquiry heard.
The inspector has now given the householders an extended period of 12 months to demolish the structures and return the site to its previous form.
That period has been extended from a six-months due to the ‘hardship’ the decision will impose on the appellants.
