Redrow tests ground for 220 Wistaston homes
The construction of properties between Crewe and Nantwich has taken a step forward after Cheshire East Council received an EIA scoping report from the North Wales-based housebuilder.
An application submitted on Redrow’s behalf by SatPlan Planning and Development indicates the development of 31 acres of land into a 220-home residential scheme with public open space.
The site, which early studies suggest has “limited ecological value”, would be accessed from Crewe Road.
According to SatPlan’s application, there is “no justification” to warrant an EIA with regards to ecology or arboriculture.
A letter put to Cheshire East Council states that the development “is considered to represent a logical extension” to the nearby town of Wistaston.
Redrow Homes has recently seen its 237-home plan in Grappenhall to the southeast of Warrington receive officer’s backing.
To view the EIA report, use the planning reference number 25/0773/EIA in Cheshire East Council’s planning portal.
Crewe Road is onof the busiest into Crewe and also the opposite way into Nantwich do the Council think that more houses causing yet more traffic this Road has been up about 6 times already for one reason or another and where are extra facilities for all these extra homes nowhere as I can see

Crewe Road is already very busy due to the over development of Willaston and Wistaston. The existing schools are already over subscribed, as is the GP Surgery. The impact on the area will be extremely detrimental.

Wouldn’t it be advisable to build some infrastructure,IE medical centres, schools etc as well as just houses

This is a perfectly logical place for this kind housing. It’s a stones throw from the A500 Crewe bypass, close to Sainsbury’s on the Nantwich bypass (which has taken tons of housing), and a relatively short distance from Crewe Station, which for all it’s shortcomings is probably the best connected transit hub in the NorthWest. What’s missing is a decent active travel route to the station from that side of town (that isn’t the greenway). It’s not also not beyond the bounds of possibility the Starmer government will fund some kind of high speed rail to Crewe. Huge for a town that needs a leg up, but will put a lot of pressure on the local housing market.

Public investment in social infrastructure is called “government taking on debt” which is Bad, and “government speding taxpayers money” which is also “Bad”. So this infrastructure will not be provided.
