Decision:

Decision:

Recommendation(s) approved.

 

Reasons for Recommendation(s):

A prestigious conference held at Astley Hall and Coach House is likely to bring national attention to Chorley, supporting the council’s ambitions to promote tourism and economic growth.

Alternative options considered and rejected

1.   To not compensate the effected tenants for the disruption to access to their business, but this was rejected as the council would be in breach of its lease.

2.   To not facilitate the conference being held at Astley, which was rejected as it would miss the opportunity to raise Chorley’s profile, and the associated economic benefits.
