SO the planners are to visit the site of the Farnworth Baptist Church, because the building planned "would not be in keeping with the Town Hall and Library".
I suggest they cross the road to Farnworth Park opposite the site in question, to look at "Bolton's biggest eyesore" the derelict site and factory which juts into the park, or else, they could walk 50 yards to Gladstone Road, one of Bolton's main thoroughfares, where they would see the mill at close quarters.
It seems a waste of time and money to visit the church site, with which most of the planners will be familiar anyway, and ignore the monstrosity round the corner. Unless, of course, they intend to make the old ruined mill a listed building "in keeping with" the rest of Farnworth.
