Plans have been resubmitted for 550 houses to be built on farmland at Runcorn’s eastern fringe on the nearside of Daresbury.

Redrow has re-issued its request for permission after an appeal against a non-determination of the same application in March 2015.

The plans include proposals for a neighbourhood centre and 15,000 square metres of employment land with offices and research space.

Papers filed with Halton Borough Council showed the proposed 36.5-hectare development site lies around Delph Lane and to the south of Daresbury Expressway.

The West Coast Main Line lies alongside the site’s western perimeter while the Chester-Manchester rail line runs through it.

A design statement accompanying the plans said the houses would have between two and four bedrooms and would have styles inspired by the ‘arts and crafts movement of the early 20th century’.

Redrow said the properties would be ‘high-quality aspirational family homes’, with a network of cycleways, paths and green spaces for nature conservation,

It said the neighbourhood centre would have retail units and cafes.

Work on the project is due to take place in two phases, with the first completed in 2022 and the rest by 2027.

An environment statement said the 550 houses are estimated to produce 1,033,812 kilograms og CO2 per year, which is lower than the building regulations target rate of 1,531,308 kilograms per year.

The land forms part of a wider key development area in Halton’s core strategy for east Runcorn, which is due to have 1,400 homes, a 72-hectare expansion of Sci-Tech Daresbury, 96 hectares for the expansion of Daresbury Park business zone and a neighbourhood centre with a marina.

Public consultation runs until December 8 with Halton Borough Council aiming to decide the matter by February 13.
