Residents oppose Persimmon’s Westhoughton housing plan, citing flood risks, mine instability, poor transport, and overdevelopment.
Residents in Westhoughton are opposing a proposed 100–230-home development by Persimmon on land they say is green belt, not grey belt, citing flooding, unstable ground from old mines, poor transport, and traffic safety risks including past fatalities.
They argue the area is already overdeveloped, services are strained, and affordable housing claims are misleading as Persimmon’s average prices exceed affordability thresholds.
Locals urge prioritizing vacant homes in Bolton over building on the site, which they say threatens environmental and community stability.
