PLANS to replace a derelict house with a block of apartments have been rejected by town councillors.
Developers wanted to build 15 flats on land at Leigh Street, Westhoughton, after tearing down an empty bungalow.
But Westhoughton town councillors refused the proposal for a second time, saying the new development would bring too much traffic to the overcrowded area.
Planners have received a number of objections from nearby residents, urging them to block plans for the flats.
The plans will now be referred to a Bolton Council planning committee for a final decision next month.
