Once we embraced the EEC we had to take all the 'bull' that went with it, any 'new' planning comes under the rules laid down by the EEC, they have tried to get permission for a hotel next to the Commercial Pub to no avail, to be brief it is the number of persons allowed in a certain section, and the time it would take to evacuate the premises in time of crisis, IE a chemical leak. The commrercial could open as a pub again the permission already exists, the factory next door could trade again, Hyndburn have used this as an excuse to 'knock' planning back for others, it will be interesting to see what happens.
