Council site visit to Heathfield Road

We understand that Cheshire East councillors on the Strategic Planning Board will be making a site visit to Heathfield Road and the site of the proposed 26 dwellings by Hockenhull Developments tomorrow morning, Friday 5th December, at approximately 10.45am.

As reported yesterday by Audlem Parish Council on AudlemOnline, planners are recommending approval to this third application to build on the field behind 22 Heathfield Road when the Strategic Planning Board meets next week in Crewe (Municipal Buildings) on Wednesday 10th December

On the two previous occasions this application has been heard and turned down unanimously, councillors were scathing about the access via Heathfield Road which they described as totally unsuitable, a view curiously not shared by the council's Highways representatives at the Strategic Planning Board on 10th October 2013.

An earlier Appeal by Hockenhull for the same land ten years ago was also turned by the Planning Inspectorate.

On site visits such as this, councillors are not allowed to speak to members of the public.
