Changes have been proposed to part of a major housing development being built on the former Horwich Golf Club.

The land off Victoria Road is being transformed into a new housing estate, with permission in place for up to 276 homes.

Developer Northstone has now submitted an application to Bolton Council seeking alterations to a small number of properties within the development.

The latest plans affect plots 10 to 14 and plots 24 and 25 in phase two.

Proposed changes include alterations to the design of the homes, alongside amendments to boundary treatments and retaining walls.

Plans also show changes to a private drive to accommodate a retaining wall, as well as alterations connected with the road layout and adoption.

The application has been submitted as a “non-material amendment” to planning permission already granted for the development.

This type of application is used where a developer wants to make relatively minor changes to an approved scheme, rather than seeking permission for a new development.

The wider project will see the former golf course transformed with hundreds of new homes.

Bolton Council will now consider the latest proposed changes before deciding whether they can go ahead.
