Commenting on last week's planning committee decision, Niall McLean, development director at Hargreaves Land, said: “This decision is a significant milestone in the evolution of Blindwells and we are absolutely delighted to be able to bring forward new amenities for the benefit of our growing community. A great deal of work has been undertaken in recent years to get us to this point and we would like to extend our gratitude to everyone involved.
