Bolton Council were told their reasons for initially rejecting the plans could not be defended legally
Bolton council will pay £468,000 of taxpayers’ money to a developer after it failed to defend a decision to reject a huge planning application.
The plans also included a residential development of up to 1,036 homes. The scheme is dependent on Bolton being awarded the Ryder Cup in the 2030s. Bolton town hall said the rejection of the plans was due to the impact of the development on congestion; that the golf course would pollute and damage to water courses; and that the development represented inappropriate development in the greenbelt.
In October 2022, planning permission for the scheme was granted on appeal by a government inspector. In an unusual move, although Peel did not seek an award of costs, the inspector initiated an award to them which he ordered the council to pay. “The appellant provided a schedule of their costs to the council which officers, with the benefit of counsel advice, have analysed. Officers have provisionally agreed the sum of £467,746.61 following negotiations.
