A MULTI million pound plan to create an international golfing complex in Burnley was to be given the go-ahead this week. Planning chiefs were being asked to approve the conversion of the 16th century Extwistle Hall at Briercliffe and 300 acres of adjoining land into a huge leisure centre. Owners Extwistle Properties Ltd teed off with a £10 million plan to build 18 and nine hole golf courses at Houghton's and Musty Halgh Farms.
Converted for the new archive on 14 July 2000. Some images and formatting may have been lost in the conversion.
