SIR: Approximately six months ago planning permission for 140 houses on edges from Daisy Hill was refused by Bolton Council. The reasons were the amount of traffic on the roads, and the fact that all the schools in the area were full and that there is already lots of new property being erected in this area.

Yet now for planning permission has been applied for again. Can you tell me what has changed? A new school built or a new road? No none of these. Do we have to just put up with it and accept the inevitable, because if it gets turned down again, it will only be re-applied for again and again until it is passed?

Why do we bother?
