I WAS interested to read the front page article in Wednesday’s Bolton News regarding the proposed plan to demolish the former Theatre Church and build nine houses.

It seems to me the present owners might well have had private property in mind when they bought it in 2012.

It also seems that no opportunity to object has been given to anyone which to my mind is unacceptable.

On this basis, planning permission should be denied.

Could someone explain this confusing situation please?
