Plans have been submitted for a residential development at Heathfield Farm, off Dean Row Road in Wilmslow.
Taylor Wimpey are seeking planning permission to build 161 homes on a previously undeveloped greenfield site that was released from the Green Belt following adoption of the Cheshire East Local Plan.
The 6.4 ha site is owned by Taylor Wimpey and the majority of it has been allocated for residential development in the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy (CELPS) as Site LPS 57. However, a small area of land to the south of the allocation, which is safeguarded for future development [Policy LPS58] is included within the application boundary for drainage and landscaping.
The scheme includes 161 dwellings, associated access, drainage, and the provision of public open space and landscaping.
The development will comprise a broad range of house types including townhouses, semi-detached, detached houses and apartments.
The proposal is for 12 one and 12 two bedroom apartments, which will be affordable, along with 14 two bed affordable semis, 74 three bedroom houses, of which ten will be affordable, 35 four and 14 five bedroom houses.
Vehicular access to the development will be provided from the existing roundabout on Dean Row Road with pedestrian links onto Brown's Lane and Dean Row Road.
If approved the development is expected to commence in 2018 and the construction period is likely to last 4 years.
The plans can be viewed on the Cheshire East Council website by searching for planning reference 17/5637M. The last date for submitting comments is 4th January 2018 and a decision is expected by 28th February 2018.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
There is nothing to say other to make up things like the above as CEC love to engage with the community, but rarely take any notice of its wishes.
What an utterly bonkers part of the country we live in!!!!!!!!!!!
The money is in place from the Bollin Park development but despite Toni Fox, our local independent councillor pushing for a date for this work, our glorious Cheshire East highways department cant be bothered.
No, they are far to busy massaging ancient road traffic figures to ensure these developments can get built. Then their Cheshire East masters can cash in on the land sales, get extra council tax and siphon off the governments New Homes Bonus that should be going into Wilmslow instead.
Cheshire East will then ask you for a 4.9% rise in Council Tax next year, so you can start to pay for some of the infrastructure needed to support all these new houses. Of course, they won't tell you this is why they need the price rise, but then when did Cheshire East ever tell you the truth?
As for affordable housing its a joke . I have saved all my life to live in a nice area and lived in cheaper areas with no help from anybody. Why should there now be affordable housing in the area ? Move somewhere cheaper and do what everyone else has done and work your way up the property ladder.
CEC council seem to grant planning permission for all these developments without proper consultation with the local community.
The local council seems to be run by people who should have retired years ago and are all paid up members of the old boys club. Maybe they will all get a new villa in Spain for the New Year !
I live on Handforth road and this side of Wilmslow has been absolutely ruined by all the extra housing that has been built (and going to be built) on this side of Wilmslow.
Noticed for the last couple of weeks the men in High-Vis jackets measuring up on the land by the side of the fishing ponds on my road, what next? build on the roundabouts??
I hope that somebody will be able to correct anything that I have misunderstood over the years.
The less demand and the prices will fall. You will also turn the area into one big housing estate separated by only the odd road. The green spaces are vanishing at a rapid rate of knots so god help my children there will soon be know where left to play and grow up.
