Building firm faces planning battle after noise complaints

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A building company is facing a planning battle after complaints from nearby households about noise from the site. Rigby House, Crown Lane, Horwich has been occupied by Mansell Building Solutions since 2021, who use the site for assembly, manufacturing, offices and storage.

Last year Bolton Council received complaints from nearby households about noise from the site and enforcement officers investigated.

Mansell argued that Rigby House was built as an industrial site in 1972 and there had been no change to that status since. READ MORE: Thomas Cashman found guilty of the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel A number of houses were built close to the factory in the 1990s.

In January, the council refused an application from the firm for a certificate of lawful use for the site. In a report outlining that decision, the council said that from 2015 to 2020, the complex was occupied by Allure Homes, who supplied soft furnishings to The Range.
