A detailed planning application has been submitted for 203 new homes in the Cheshire market town of Sandbach.
The 20-acre parcel of land, off Old Mill Road, already benefits from planning permission for housing. However, as a new applicant, we have now submitted our own detailed plans for the site, which include 30% affordable homes.
Improvements to local infrastructure are also proposed including a new arm to the roundabout adjoining Old Mill Road (A533) and the A534, near Waitrose, to improve traffic flow in the area.
Alex Wigfield, land director for Anwyl Homes Cheshire and North Wales, said: “Our high quality designs will bring much needed new homes to Sandbach to meet strong demand. Traditional from the outside, the homes will blend well with both new and old homes in the town, while their contemporary specification includes inbuilt energy efficiency. This is both a sustainable and desirable location for new homes, within walking distance of Sandbach town centre and all of its superb amenities.
“As part of the planning application, we are proposing to improve a roundabout layout to help to alleviate traffic congestion on a busy route, for the benefit of the wider community.”
Across the development we plan to build a wide selection of homes including detached, semi-detached and mews houses with two to four bedrooms, plus one-bedroom apartments, with the affordable homes indistinguishable from the open market properties.
We have exchanged contracts with Muller Property Group, who obtained the outline planning permission for the site, and will complete the land purchase this year.
Colin Muller, owner and founder for Muller Property Group, said: “Muller Property Group achieved yet another excellent planning consent, and to have Anwyl as our development partner is a significant step forward in addressing the local housing demand in Cheshire East. Working with the Anwyl team has been a further positive experience in our continued relationship.”
Well known in Sandbach, we completed 151 homes as part of the Abbeyfields development, off Middlewich Road, in 2021. The joint venture with Redrow brought more than 300 new homes to the area in total.
