Bolton’s bid to host the Ryder Cup has been handed a lifeline after a public inquiry found plans should not have been rejected.
The proposals to revitalise the Hulton Park Estate and turn it into a possible venue for the 2031 tournament appeared to have been killed off after councillors threw out the planned development earlier this year.
However, earlier this month the case went to a public inquiry – and independent planning inspector Dominic Young has sided with developer Peel L&P.
The inquiry received a wide range of support from bodies including the University of Bolton, Bolton Wanderers FC and members of the community.

“We put forward a robust and compelling case at the Public Inquiry and are pleased that the Inspector has recognised the long-term benefits a revitalised Hulton Park will bring to the economy of Bolton and the north-west,” said Richard Knight, the firm’s director of planning strategy.

We will continue to promote the unique offer Bolton and Hulton Park provides and looks forward to the continued support it has had to date.”
