Plans have been submitted for a new residential development at Little Stanneylands in Wilmslow.
Jones Homes are applying for planning permission to demolish the five existing buildings, comprising of stables and a large two-storey barn, and erect 10 dwellings. The one hectare site which was previously used as a horse training facility, but is no longer in use as the associated paddocks have now been built on.
The northern part of the site is allocated for residential development in the adopted Local Plan and the remainder of the allocated site is currently being developed by David Wilson Homes to create 174 new homes.
The development will consist of ten two-storey detached homes, seven of the properties will have 4 bedrooms whilst the remaining three properties will have 5 bedrooms.
The planning application can be viewed on the Cheshire East Council website by searching for planning reference 20/4737M.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
fails to include at least some affordable houses. I feel the owner should sell the plot as it is and any form of planning for this site be rejected and an order of protection be placed on the site as the houses form part of the local land and heritage.
Another bit of local heritage going down the money grubbing pan and considering the present unprecedented C-19 pressure on the entertainment and food industry it would be no great surprise to see Stanneylands Hotel go the same way.

...and have a change of heart, then hand over this plot of land to Transition Wilmslow to oversee the creation of another local woodland by 'planting' the seeds of a greener, more caring planet in the minds of local schoolchildren?
Funny, isn't it, that all these lovely computer-generated images and plans of pretty, desirable new housing projects are interspersed and surrounded by beautiful, towering, mature 100+-year-old trees? Whereas the reality is that there are none at all. The property developers are just selling a dream that almost always bears little to the reality of what they produce. How can anyone sell something with information that is at variance with the reality. Surely there must be a case for the advertising standards authority to take an interest and insist on a more correct representation?
