Chorley wedding venue's new overnight huts in idyllic surroundings

. Rivington Hall Barn has been granted permission to position four timber-clad huts on a grassed area in its setting within Lever Park.

Planning officer Iain Crossland said that the applicant had made their case based on the need “to secure the long-term sustainability of the wedding venue business at the site”.“The proposal would…protect existing employment, while the continued viability of the business would ensure that Rivington Hall continues to benefit from the investment generated by the use of the building for wedding parties,” Mr. Crossland told the meeting at which the plans were given the go-ahead.

Permission has also been given for the creation of a gravel path – edged with timber boarding – to provide access to the huts from the car park. Additional trees and hedges will be planted in the vicinity. Rivington Parish Council had objected to the development on the basis that it could set a precedent for overnight accommodation in the area . The authority said that it wanted to uphold “the legacy given by Lord Leverhulme”, who gifted the park to locals, over any “profit-making venture”.
