A HOME which had to be demolished after becoming unstable during work to add an extension is to be replaced.

Oakhurst Cottage, off Wigan Road, Westhoughton, will be rebuilt with seven bedrooms and facilities including a swimming pool and gym room.

Owners Paul and Lynne Marie Mullins, of Matherbank, Westhoughton, were granted permission for the replacement by Bolton Council's planning and highways committee.
