Development consortium lines up Crewe resi
A scoping report has been filed on behalf of Waldron’s Place Landowner Group, which is exploring the delivery of 950 homes across 130 acres at Coppenhall Moss, north of the Cheshire town.
The Waldron’s Place site off Groby Road is made up of five parcels of agricultural land.
Planning adviser Iceni Projects said in its Environmental Impact Assessment scoping report that proposals are being worked up seeking an outline consent for up to 950 homes, supported by a mixed-use local centre, land for a primary school, employment space, and open space.
Working with Iceni are firms including Redmore Environmental, Urban Green, Shaw Stephens, E3P, Mode and Reading Agricultural.
WPLG, the applicant, is made up of seven parties. These are Farsorest Developments; Philip Kevin O’Reilly and Mike O’Reilly; Michael Griffin and Jacqueline Griffin; Audrey Irene Micklewright; Diane Micklewright; John David Peacock and Janet Maragret Peacock; and Shaun Bullock and Victoria Bullock.
The land:
Parcel 1: bound by Parkers Road, Broughton Road, open space an, to the west, by the west coast mainline railway and Bridge Farm Kennels.
Parcel 2: bound to the north by housing on Warmingham Road and Waldron’s Lane, with Broughton Road and Moss Farm to the west.
Parcel 3: bound to the north and east by Waldon’s Lane.
Parcel 4: bound to the east by Groby Road, the west by Waldron’s Lane and the south by Stoneley Road.
Parcel 5: bound to the south by Groby Farm, and to the east by Sandbach Flashes, a site of special scientific interest.
The village of Coppenhall Moss lies to the north of the site.
The maximum height of buildings on site will be four storeys, the EIA said. The aim is to be on site at some point in 2030, with construction completing in 2035.
The planning reference on Cheshire East Council’s planning portal is 26/1771/EIA.
