Anwyl to buy land for 200 Sandbach homes
Muller Property Group has reached a deal with the North Wales-based developer for the sale of a 20-acre plot of land south of the Cheshire town.
Anwyl Homes has lodged a fresh planning application for the Sandbach scheme, located off Old Mill Road, seeking permission for 203 homes.
Of these, 61 will be designated as affordable. The housing mix features one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom houses and apartments.
Improvements to local infrastructure are also proposed including a new arm to the roundabout adjoining Old Mill Road and the A534, near Waitrose, to improve traffic flow in the area.
Alex Wigfield, land director for Anwyl Homes Cheshire and North Wales, said: “Our high-quality designs will bring much-needed new homes to Sandbach to meet strong demand.
“This is both a sustainable and desirable location for new homes, within walking distance of Sandbach town centre.”
He added: “As part of the planning application, we are proposing to improve a roundabout layout to help alleviate traffic congestion on a busy route, for the benefit of the wider community.”
Turley is advising on planning and APD is leading on design.
Muller Property Group secured outline permission for the redevelopment of the site in 2017.
Colin Muller, owner and founder of Muller Property Group, said: “Muller Property Group achieved yet another excellent planning consent, and to have Anwyl as our development partner is a significant step forward in addressing the local housing demand in Cheshire East.
“Working with the Anwyl team has been a further positive experience in our continued relationship.”
Cannot understand how this was ever passed. We do not have the infrastructure in place for more houses, where are the children going to go to school, getting a doctor’s appointment is really difficult, finding a dentist is like pulling hen’s teeth, and the traffic congestion is a complete nightmare. I don’t suppose there is anything we can do about this project now but please will the Council listen to the residents of our town next time another application arrives from a developer and ensure that the infrastructure is in place before the houses.

Annual, maybe you live in a different Sandbach to me as I’ve never had an issue with getting a dentist or doctors appointment (any more so that other places in the UK), and the local schools here still have capacity to admit students.

A magic roundabout will not ease or solve the traffic problems we already have
More houses will just make this worse
The whole road from the roundabout to the Hill are just a nightmare, entrance to Palmer Road needs improvement as it is hard to get in and out on such a busy stretch of road
People queueing to travel up the Hill queue from the roundabout over the chevrons so a roundabout will not resolve this at all

Ann, on the school point, there are a good number of students who currently travel in from surrounding towns such as Crewe & Congleton. All that will happen is that preference will be given to those within the catchment in future.

echo daves comments, plenty of school places, no problem with dentist or the excellent health centre – political nonsense from NIMBYS

Too many homes in Sandbach already.
