The site, on the outskirts of Bolton, is the subject of a dispute between Westchurch Homes and Morris Homes

A housebuilder has objected to plans by a second developer to build 133 homes on a site where it already has permission to construct more than a hundred houses. Westchurch Homes Ltd are set to hear this week whether they will receive permission to construct 133 affordable homes at land currently used for caravan storage and horse grazing off Radcliffe Road, Darcy Lever, Bolton .

The report states that Morris claim the Westchurch application should not have been validated because Morris ‘as owner of part of the site has not been formally notified’. Morris also claim that the Westchurch application ‘relies on reports commissioned by Morris Homes’. Responding to the Morris objection, planning officers said ‘no evidence has been provided that Morris Homes owned part of the site when the application was submitted’. They added: “Reliance on others’ reports is a private matter. “Land ownership is not a planning matter and whilst the objection about lack of comprehensive delivery is noted, it is possible a deal will be struck between the landowners to implement either scheme.
