Wigan Council approved four 60-foot warehouses in Tyldesley despite resident concerns over flawed noise, visual, and flood mitigation plans.
Wigan Council has rejected a residents' appeal to halt construction of four 60-foot warehouses in Tyldesley’s Astley area, despite concerns over flawed noise and visual mitigation plans.
The Astley Warehouse Action Group argues that earth bunds, critical for shielding homes and a school, exceed legal height limits due to a nearby gas pipeline, making the approved mitigation unenforceable.
They also claim updated plans were submitted after public consultation without renotification, and drainage assessments rely on outdated data, risking flooding.
The council maintains the approval follows national policy, no material changes required reconsultation, and all plans were properly reviewed.
