PROPOSALS to build more than 500 homes in villages across Chorley on land not currently earmarked for development have been rejected by councillors, amid warnings about their potential impact on the borough’s greenbelt. Members of Chorley Council’s planning committee refused four applications for a total of 197 new properties – and indicated that they would have come to the same conclusion about two bids for 330 others had they not already been passed to a national planning inspector for consideration. In both of those cases – for 250 dwellings off Town Lane in Whittle-le-Woods and 80 homes on Tincklers Lane in Eccleston – Redrow Homes has lodged an appeal against the authority’s failure to determine the applications within a 13-week target period.

Ministers have said that powers introduced last year enabling local authorities to stage remote meetings as a result of the pandemic will end, as planned, on 6th May.
