Land At East of Swanlow Lane Winsford
Works: New dwelling Demolition Major scheme
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Hybrid application: full planning permission for demolition of existing buildings and means of access from Swanlow Lane, including new site spine road, new junction with Swanlow Lane and culvert and outline planning permission with all matters reserved (apart from means of access) for a residential development of up to 448 dwellings (Class C3), together with open space, landscaping and associated works.

The process from here
This application is with Cheshire West and Chester for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About outline applications
How this application type works
An outline application tests the principle of developing a site before the detail is worked up. Some or all of the particulars, such as appearance, layout, scale, access and landscaping, are held back as reserved matters for later approval. Permission at outline stage does not by itself allow building to start; the reserved matters must be approved first.
