A developer which was given permission to build a new home in Blackrod has launched an appeal against the conditions attached to the approval.

A resident who lives on Boardman Street sought permission to build another home on the street.

The property would be built on land to the north of number 13 on the street.

At this month’s planning committee of the council the move was approved unanimously with every councillor present in voting in favour.

But now the developer wants the conditions attached removed.

The plan involved a three bedroom home which would be part single and part two storey height.

It would also have a bathroom, integral garage, kitchen and balcony.

Eight letters of objection were handed in to the council.

Issues highlighted included loss of light and wellbeing, it not being in keeping with other properties, parking issues and it being too high.

However a number of conditions were attached to the proposal, which related to access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scales details.

The council ruled a specification for the design and construction of access and parking had to be submitted, the appearance had to comply with Bolton’s Core Strategy and a detail landscaping scheme was required.

The core strategy sets out the policies for Bolton’s future development up to 2026.

However an appeal has now been launched against the conditions imposed by the planning committee in respect of this development, a short time after it was approved.

The appeal will go ahead through written representation but a decision date has not yet been set.

The plans were previously deferred by the council’s planning committee in January this year.

At the time councillors raised concerns about accessibility and preservation of the area’s character.

The council ruled there had to be two new car parking spaces created for the occupants of the new property and also an additional once created for the occupants of number 13.

The reasons given were that it would mean the proposal accorded with rules on accessibility, transport and road safety.
