My contribution to Charnock Richard Golf Course / Wigan Athletic Academy 14/00641/FULMAJ

I am not, in principle, opposed to the application to develop a Football facility on the Charnock Richard, 18 hole, Golf Course land, especially as change of use from agricultural to what it is today went largely unopposed when the planning application for the Golf Course was approved.

I do however have several concerns regarding the plans that have been submitted and their impact on the Green Belt. I hope these concerns will be taken into account by the Planning Officers, when making a recommendation, and the members of the Development Control members Committee, when making a decision.

In common with all golf courses, Charnock Richard Golf Course comprised areas of finely tended greens, regularly mowed fairways and significant areas of rough, with long grass, hedgerows, trees and natural flora and fauna, much of which was left untended, the golf course was frequently unplayable due to it being waterlogged. The result was a significant area of natural wildlife habitat and also a landscape in keeping with the surrounding fields. In its current state, the many acres that were the Golf Course is even more of a wildlife haven.

The proposed football academy involves the generation of a large area of uninterrupted, finely tended and drained, football pitches, which will not only be without any features but will also employ a grass not endemic to, or in keeping with, the surrounding area.

The change can be clearly seen when comparing pages 5 and 6 of the Design and Access Statement. Page 5 is as it was when the golf course existed and looks in keeping with the surrounding area, page 6 is the proposed layout where all the natural features have been destroyed leaving a featureless, flat, uninterrupted expanse of unnatural grass and artificial turf.

During its existence several planning applications were submitted to alter the Golf Course, many were approved, some withdrawn and some refused. Those refused include the application for a temporary pay kiosk at tee 1 and extensions to the existing buildings. The extensions to the existing buildings were less than that part of the current application that alters the existing buildings, the refusals were because the applications were inappropriate in the Green Belt.

The temporary kiosk application was refused, as it was also considered inappropriate in the green belt and the land was described by the planning officer, not only as being in the green belt but, as an area of special landscape located within the green belt.

The proposed building alteration and the addition of a new indoor pitch, regardless of whether it is full size or not, result in a volume increase in excess of that suggested in planning policy, as it is volume that has an impact on openness of green belt not floor area.

There is no doubt that the application, not only the existing building alteration and in-particular the indoor pitch, but also the significant change to the openness that would come about through removal of natural breaks in the landscape which feature throughout the surrounding area, is inappropriate in the green belt. The applicant has therefore to demonstrate that there are very special circumstances that outweigh the harm to the green belt. Provision of outdoor sport may be considered a very special circumstance and we need to question whether an indoor pitch is essential for what is an outdoor sport, it might be good to have but is it essential? A vast expanse of uninterrupted playing fields and a large number of pitches simulating potential opposition grounds, enabled through the removal of natural breaks, may be good to have, but are they essential?

Football is an outdoor sport, as is Golf, and whilst planning policy may have changed the need to protect green belt not only remains but is increasingly important. The land remains the same land, on which a temporary kiosk was refused, so must still be an area of special landscape, worthy of protection.

There must be some way that a football academy can be developed whilst retaining many of the existing features, that Chorley Council Planners have previously confirmed to be part of an area of very special landscape. Pitches must be able to be laid out such that they are separated by existing, or even replanted, hedgerows and lines of trees, thereby retaining wildlife corridors and natural habitats. It must also be possible to provide some community use or benefit, previously there was a restaurant, retail golf shop and a sporting facility, open to anyone who chose to join, or pay to play; this football academy proposal does nothing even similar.

In summary, the application being inappropriate in the green belt is without question what is at question is whether the applicant can demonstrate very special circumstances that outweigh harm to the green belt, provision of outdoor sport being one of those very special circumstances.


I have little doubt that with some modification to the plans, to provide community use or benefit, obviously respecting the need for privacy of the elite players, and to protect the area, as described by Chorley Council’s Planning Officers as an area of special landscape, the application could become appropriate in the green belt.

Camelot Planning Application Presentation

The following are the words from the presentation I gave earlier tonight on the application to build 420 houses on the Camelot Theme Park Site, Charnock Richard (allowed 5 minutes, I timed it at 4 minutes 58 seconds)...


"Members of the committee

Park Hall has a long and varied history, going back to 882AD. Its history, as a leisure venue began in 1933 in the ownership of George Few. Mr Few sold the Hall and surrounding ancient woodland to a young John Rigby in 1970 and it was Mr Rigby who initially developed Park Hall as a dining and entertainment venue and that broad use remains there today.

Mr Rigby also developed the surrounding area, by the large scale destruction of a huge portion of Kiln Wood, a significant area of ancient woodland, to create Arena North which in its day hosted many national and regional events. Arena North was later developed into Camelot Theme Park which opened its gates in 1982. It is this area along with the land, containing no built structures, surrounding the existing Park Hall Hotel that is the subject of this planning application.

Members will be aware of the Chorley Borough Local Plan and that, in that plan, Charnock Richard is identified for small scale development and limited infill within the village, this application is neither, small scale, infill, or in the village. Indeed this is development on a large scale and out of proportion to the existing villages of Heskin and Charnock Richard.

Members will also be aware that this development is a site within the green belt and in order to overcome the harm to the green belt very special circumstances have to exist, it is the role of the developer to demonstrate that very special circumstances do exist and that the development is required.

The developer’s application suggests that very special circumstances include: creation of construction jobs, increased numbers of people in the borough who will spend money in the borough; the provision of a new homes bonus and a commuted sum to improve the boroughs existing facilities. It goes on to state the development will provide improvement to existing services via the Community Infrastructure Levy and that the houses will be of a high quality. These are not very special circumstances as all of these happen for all developments so are merely circumstances of all development and certainly not very special circumstances unique to this application, that would override the Chorley Borough Local Plan conclusion (as accepted by the inspector) that this is one of the most unsustainable sites within that plan.

Without this development Chorley Borough has in excess of 7 years’ supply of approved, deliverable, housing and the plan provides sites that, as agreed by the inspector, fulfil the housing needs of the borough until 2026. The inspector agreed that this is one of the most unsustainable sites in the Chorley Local Plan. Even after considering proposals in the planning application, the site remains unsustainable.

If permitted, this development, which is one of the most unsustainable sites within the Local Plan, would surely bring to question the validity of the local planning process.
I trust the committee will refuse this planning application on the grounds that:
1.    There is significant harm to the openness of the green belt in that the proposed built structure is far greater in volume than that existing, especially as a large part of the site is presently open and unobstructed by any form of built development. The fact that the site is largely hidden from sight does not reduce the impact on the openness of the green belt.

2.    There is no need, Chorley already has in excess of 7 years supply of housing and a plan (accepted by the inspector) that delivers the boroughs housing requirements to 2026 meaning there is no requirement to release additional land for housing in the Borough at this time.

3.    The site is not sustainable, for many reasons including, but not limited to, health and social care, school places, convenience shopping, the need to access the site by car, which is the most unsustainable method of access, with at least an additional 3,600 car movements per day (one extra vehicle every 16 seconds of the waking day onto an unclassified road). The proposed highways modifications, including the suggestion that a cycle way be introduced by placing a hard covering over what is currently largely a public footpath, is at best naïve and certainly unsustainable.


In summary this development is the wrong development, in the wrong place, at the wrong time, it is unsustainable, is out of proportion to the existing villages of Heskin and Charnock Richard, adds nothing positive to the surrounding villages and is not accompanied by the very special circumstances that would permit development. A large proportion of the circumstances provided are those that exist in any development and are not special to this particular development.

As stated about 4 minutes ago Park Hall has a long and varied history. It was in 882AD that the remains of St Cuthbert were buried in Park Hall woods. If this planning application is granted then the remains of Chorley’s Local Plan may as well be buried under the footings of the first property.


Thank you"
