A RESIDENTIAL development has been given the go-ahead by Bolton Council planners.

An apartment block and eight houses will be built by developers Adamson Building Contractors, at Capitol Close, off Moss Lane, to add to those homes already built.

The application for six apartments - to be built in two three-storey blocks, and the three-storey houses will complete the overall development of the area.

They will replace an area of rough land, but some residents had raised concerns about the impact this would have on wildlife in the areas, traffic problems, pollution and the environment.

The road and footways will be surfaced and improvements made to the kerbs.
