BOSSES at Darwen Golf Club are still planning to set up a driving range for educational and training purposes.

A planning application submitted to Blackburn with Darwen Council was withdrawn last week so some revisions could be made.

The Duddon Avenue club agreed a partnership with Darwen Aldridge Community Academy as it launched its golf academy earlier this year.

Club captain Ian Geogarty said: “The plans have not been scrapped, it is just taking a bit longer than we had initially expected.

“We have withdrawn the planning application on advice from council officers so we can revise it, rather than it simply be turned down.”
