Wedding Venue
In 2021, planning permission was approved by Chorley Borough Council to convert the 17th century barn into a wedding venue.[3] The planning application included repairs to the structure and conversion of nearby buildings into other uses such as shops.[4]
Historic England supported the application, saying that it will secure the long-term future of the buildings.[5]
