PLANNING | Cheshire East set to approve 224 homes

Galliford Try Partnerships has been given permission to build 335 homes in Sandymoor, Runcorn by Halton Council.

The North West housebuilders have joined together to develop a £69m, 400-home project in Crewe.

The future of Cheshire’s Local Plans, major residential development in Warrington, and the growing prominence of mixed-use residential sites in the region were all highlighted at this Place North West event.

The housebuilder gained approval for one of its schemes at Cheshire East Council’s latest planning committee, while another application for 217 homes was withdrawn after being recommended for refusal.

A mixed-use scheme including 31 homes and a 20-bedroom hotel will go before Cheshire East’s southern planning committee next week with a recommendation for approval.

The housing provider has started work on 67 apartments on a site near Macclesfield town centre, formerly home to a Georgian mill.

After failing to attract a buyer for a single luxury home on a Green Belt site near Dunham Massey, developer Phoenix has rejigged its plans to bring forward six apartments.

Land promoter Footprint’s plans for 55 homes on a semi-rural site in Winterley have been unanimously refused by Cheshire East Council.

The luxury housing firm has received a £7m funding package from specialist lender Together in order to fund 30 homes in Swan Green near Knutsford.
