Planning committee
Deferred by Cheshire East Southern Planning Committee on 9 Sept 2026.
Deferred
- Officers advised approval because the site was considered Grey Belt, sustainable and able to deliver housing, subject to controls.
- The parish council and residents raised concerns including density, highways, flooding, contamination, heritage, ecology and the site’s Green Belt status.
- The committee deferred the application by majority, seeking more information about levels, land stability, ground works and retained trees.
