Application progress
Refused on 30 Jul 2026 · Southern Planning Committee · Last checked 1 Oct 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Cheshire East Southern Planning Committee on 29 Jul 2026.
Refused unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers recommended refusal because the homes would harm the efficiency of the Jodrell Bank telescopes and public benefits would not outweigh that harm.
- The parish council, residents and Bespak raised concerns including infrastructure, design, interference with Jodrell Bank and noise affecting the proposed homes.
- The committee unanimously refused the application, adding noise and residential amenity as a second reason.
