This is why plans for almost 300 new homes in Chorley have been delayed

A bid to finalise controversial plans to build hundreds of new homes in Chorley has been delayed.

Redrow Homes has already been granted outline planning permission for its long-proposed development on land to the north of Town Lane in Whittle-le-Woods. Chorley Council’s planning committee gave the go-ahead to the scheme - for 250 properties - in June 2023. The firm is now seeking approval for the detailed design of the estate across a slightly wider area - and an increase in the tally of dwellings to 280.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service understands that the deferral was due to outstanding information from a statutory consultee not having been provided in time to be considered. The application will be brought back before the committee at a later date. Chorley Council failed to reach a decision on the proposal within the normal timescales when the Redrow proposal was first submitted to the authority in 2021.
