More Planning Violations by Go Ape
May 16th, 2009 by David
- Cars parked in the new, unofficial car park.
- The official car park lies empty.
- Just tumbleweed….and not a sign of Uninted Utilities or Chorley Council!
- No sign of cars here, they’re all on the new, unofficial car park.
These photo’s were taken on Friday, showing cars parked outside the area stated on the planning application, when the official car park was empty.
Neither United Utilities nor Chorley Borough Council seem to be concerned.
Bob has sent a letter to Martin Padley at United Utilities and an email to Steve Aldous at Chorley asking why these breaches of planning regulations have not been spotted by their staff.
Meanwhile the blue containers have been removed after the Friends of Lever Park complained, and Go Ape have been told to remove the security lights that they installed, again contrary to the planning approval. As of today (Saturday) the external security shutters have still not been removed (yet another breach of planning approval).




Hi. David
I have today e-mailed Martin Padley ( head of environment & community for UU ), asking specific questions regarding breaching of planning reg’s.
I’ve also e-mailed Steve Aldous ( enforcement officer ) for Chorley, to put before him further concerns. Unfortunately he is out of office untill the 26th, but he will look into the issues when he returns.
