Tony Dudley submitted the application on August 6 for a 'single storey domestic building' on the grounds of Grade II listed Ladyshore House, Little Lever - a building that has already been there for ten years. The heritage statement said: "The application has been submitted in courteous response to correspondence from Bolton Council's Planning Enforcement Team dated 13 May 2026, which asserts that the building requires Listed Building Consent because it has been erected within the curtilage of the Grade II Listed Ladyshore House. "The applicant has no desire to prolong what has, in recent years, become an increasingly protracted planning history associated with Ladyshore House. "Separate proposals elsewhere on the wider site have resulted in numerous planning applications, repeated visits from Planning Enforcement and ongoing enforcement appeals.
