PLANS to transform a restaurant car park into a car sales site have been rejected by Westhoughton Town Council.

Councillors said they would not support developers ASC Designs’ plans to turn the former car park at La Scala, on Chorley Road, Westhoughton, into a site for car sales for a temporary period of two years.

At a meeting of the town council on Monday, Cllr Pat Brennan said the application should be refused because it is “detrimental to the area.”
