Christmas, Wrapped Up............ in July

Christmas 2008 has finally been wrapped up, in July, for Bolton Christmas Trees, with a bit of help from MAZE Planning Solutions.

The annual sale of real trees from a site in Kearsley, Bolton attracted the Council's attention during the festive season. An absence of planning permission led to formal enforcement action and several subsequent months of distinctly unseasonal discussions.

MAZE appealed the enforcement notice, put together a dossier of documents that persuaded the Council to withdraw the notice and halt the appeal, and then successfully pursued a Lawful Development Certificate application to make sure that Christmas 2009 and beyond can pass with a bit less fuss and bother, at least for Kearsley's Christmas tree devotees.
