HOW Planning, has secured reserved matters planning approval for a new residential development in Winsford, Cheshire on behalf of Taylor Wimpey.

The will provide up to 280 new family homes for the area on land located off Oakmere Road and Littler Lane which is to the  north west of Winsford town centre and an area which has already been identified as suitable for housing in the Winsford Neighbourhood Plan.

The scheme will comprise a combination of mews, semi-detached and detached houses, with 84 affordable units.

Isla Longmuir, Senior Planner at HOW Planning, said: “The plans for this new development will provide much needed new housing which will be well integrated with the surrounding area. The housing will make a positive contribution towards Cheshire West and Chester Councils housing target and both new and existing residents will benefit from the open space and new cycleways which will be developed as part of the scheme.”

Construction on the 10 hectares site will create new jobs and the additional households will generate increased spending in the local area.
