Campaigners who fought to stop the controversial Muller development in Stapeley have called it a “sad day”.
Muller has been granted planning permission by the Secretary of State for the first phase of it’s 1,000-home “Nantwich South” scheme on land between Peter de Stapleigh Way, Audlem Road and the A51 London Road.
The result of a second public inquiry into the Muller Property application for Stapeley could take as long as 10 weeks to be announced.
A four-day inquiry was held last week into the first phase proposal by Muller to build 189 houses, industrial units, space for a school, and access road off Peter de Stapleigh Way.
Residents in Stapeley, Nantwich, have the chance to vote on whether to adopt a new Neighbourhood Plan which could help prevent unwanted development.
Polling cards for the referendum have been delivered to more than 1,000 households, with voting to take place on February 15.
A public inquiry into Muller Property Group’s controversial “Nantwich South” housing plan in Stapeley is to be re-opened, the Government has ruled.
It’s the latest twist in a five-year battle between Muller, who want to build a 1,100-home ‘village’ on land off between Audlem Road and Peter de Stapleigh Way, and those campaigning against it.
A developer is allowed to make “unsafe” changes to a busy road in Nantwich – because it was granted permission in an earlier application.
Furious campaigners say the work to Audlem Road in Stapeley “defies all common sense”.
Muller Property has appealed against the Secretary of State’s decision to block plans for the 1,100-home ‘Nantwich South’ development in Stapeley.
Sources say Colin Muller has decided to continue his fight to build the scheme on land between Peter de Stapleigh Way, Broad Lane and London Road.
Campaigners say a new study shows the wrong type of housing is being planned or built in parts of Nantwich.
An extensive report, focusing on Stapeley and Batherton, shows only 77 of 630 houses planned or built since 2010 will suit future needs of residents.
A developer’s bid to build 104 houses in Nantwich, which was supported by Brine Leas School, has been refused by Cheshire East Council.
Wainhomes North West wanted permission to build 104 homes off Audlem Road, and free up extra land for Brine Leas for future expansion.
Cheshire East Council’s Local Plan will not be in place before late 2016 at the earliest, a report says.
Campaigners in Nantwich fear this could pave the way for more developers to submit housing applications on green land.
Campaigners are urging Secretary of State Greg Clark to put “residents before profits” when deciding on the controversial Muller Homes appeal in Nantwich.
Mr Clark has now written to interested parties, stating there will not be a second public inquiry into the application by Muller.
Campaigners fighting Muller Property Group’s bid to build 1,100 homes in Stapeley, have a chance to push for a second public inquiry.
Secretary of State Greg Clark quashed the previous Government decision which rejected Muller’s appeal against Cheshire East Council’s decision to refuse planning permission.
New Local Government Communities Secretary Greg Clark has reversed a decision to dismiss Muller Property Group’s appeal over refusal for its “Nantwich South” development.
In March, Eric Pickles overruled a planning inspector and dismissed Muller’s appeal against Cheshire East Council, which had refused permission for 189 homes and an access road.
More campaigners have expressed their relief that Muller Developments’ appeal for a 1,100-house “Nantwich South” development in Stapeley has been rejected.
Pat Cullen, of campaign group Protect Stapeley, has worked alongside Stapeley Parish councillors and residents to fight Muller’s plans for land between Peter de Stapleigh Way, Audlem Road and London Road.
