Chorley council election candidates go head-to-head on homes, finance and environment
As the people of Chorley head tot he polls today , the Local Democracy Reporting Service put the leaders of the main parties in Chorley head-to-head to debate the big issues in the borough.
However, for the debate, local democracy reporter Paul Faulkner was joined by Cllr Alistair Bradley , Cllr Alan Cullens and Andy Hunter-Rossall .HOUSEBUILDING Chorley Council last year lost a series of appeals against decisions it had made to refuse planning permission for developments on several plots of land which the authority had wanted to safeguard from housebuilding for the foreseeable future.
“One of the things that we requested [for the consultation] was down to [changing] one word within the [draft] plan – and that was ‘preferred’ options [regarding the suggested site list]. And I think this has come back to bite us already…because developers are seeing the word ‘preferred’ as the opportunity to go and develop.
