Housebuilding companies Taylor Wimpey, Redrow Homes and David Wilson Homes have received approval from Cheshire East Council to create a residential scheme on a 143-acre site in Nantwich that comprises a mix of detached, semi-detached, mid-terrace and apartment homes. The consortium is due to progress with the scheme in early 2017, according to Jon Suckley, partner at planning consultancy HOW Planning, which worked with the companies developing the site. Additionally, the scheme marks the first phase of a wider urban expansion programme that includes employment development, new communities and a local centre for future developments.

A reserved planning application by a trio of national housebuilders to create a huge new residential scheme in Nantwich has been approved.

Taylor Wimpey, Redrow Homes and David Wilson Homes have secured the green light from Cheshire East Council for the scheme, which comprises a mix of detached, semi-detached, mid-terrace and apartment homes on a 143-acre site. HOW Planning, which oversaw the application on their behalf, has claimed that it represents the largest single reserved matters application ever submitted to the local authority.

It follows the approval of an outline application for the site in January 2016.

The proposed development forms the first phase in the creation of a major urban extension for Nantwich, which would also comprise additional employment development, new community facilities and a local centre as part of future development phases.

Jon Suckley, partner at HOW Planning: "We have worked closely with our clients on this important scheme to ensure their plans provide all the key elements to ensure the creation of a sustainable community and that the development meets all of the expectations and ambitions for the area.

"This permission will enable the consortium to progress with the scheme in early 2017, delivering much-needed new homes in Cheshire."

The proposed development is also expected to bring to fruition the current major investment programme at Reaseheath College.
