Quote: NickyKiss "I recall that issue with the access. A huge blow that considering what the land must be worth (well it could be worth if they could get around it).'"
when was the last time any council planning committee had any issues with a minor thing like access or congestion or anything else that a large housing estate is going to bring
Bolton council have approved 2 within less than a mile of each other on the way up to chequerbent roundabout. One right on the roundabout and 1 on Platt Lane which joins Park Rd on way up from Westhoughton to the roundabout.
if you travel that daily, you know there is congestion virtually constantly so why approve 2 additional housing estates knowing how bad it is anyway
pretty sure, if a housing developer comes in with the right bid for Orrell that it would get approved with Wigan Metro get something out of it
