PLANS to move a large structure and build a new bridge and road platform at Horwich Water Treatment Works in Blackrod have been approved in principle by Bolton Council.
The new concrete and plastic structure at the confluence of the River Douglas and Pearl Brook will reduce the speed of the water flow and is necessary to meet waste disposal targets.
It is not considered to change any visual impact.
