'Dangerous and inappropriate': Chorley village restaurant shuts to make way for new homes
The stone-faced building is now set to be converted into one three-bedroomed and two two-bedroomed apartments, spread across three floors.
One objector, Mike Matulewicz, told the meeting at which the proposed estate was discussed that it was “inappropriate…unnecessary… and dangerous for the village”. Chris Betteridge, the agent for the application, said that the transport assessment accompanying the plans suggested that there would be just four traffic movements generated by the development in each of the morning and early evening weekday peak hours - a forecast which he said was “uncontested by any alternative evidence”. .
Committee member Martin Boardman outlined his own concerns over the roads and bemoaned what he described as a “woefully inadequate” highways report by the county council - adding that there was little that he and his colleagues could do to block the plans. Committee member Harold Heaton questioned whether double yellow lines could be placed on Bolton Road close to the entrance to the new development, but planning services manager Adele Hayes said that such a stipulation could not be included as a planning condition, as it would require the separate process of a creating a traffic regulation order which may or may not be approved
