Plans for two new detached houses in Weston have been given the go-ahead.

Cheshire East's southern planning committee took about 10 minutes to grant full planning permission for the infill proposal at the head of a cul-de-sac on land adjacent to 12 and 15 Fourways.

The application had to be considered by a committee because it had been recommended for approval by officers but was against local plan policy.

Planning officer Dan Evans told the meeting: "It's on the edge of Weston.

"It's in the open countryside, so it's contrary to our policies. We haven't got a [five year] housing land supply."

Cllr Linda Buchanan (Shavington, Labour), said it was infill and 'I would assume, according to the neighbourhood plan, they will be happy with infill in this area'.

She continued: "There haven't been any objections, as I understand it, from the parish council or from the ward councillor, so I think it probably would be acceptable to the residents of Weston."

Cllr Mike Muldoon (Sandbach, Conservative), moved the application be approved with conditions.

This was seconded by Brereton councillor John Wray (Conservative), and the vote was unanimous.

"We haven't got a [five year] housing land supply." This is the same old excuse that's been trotted out for longer than I care to remember, and it would need a whole herd of my friends and me to count on the ends of our antlers the number of times Cheshire East Council has used it to justify all kinds of dubious projects: Any half-decent, respectable council would, after the first time, quickly drawn up something, but that seems to be totally beyond the competence of the shower that occupy Delamere House, and they'll continue to trot it out as the despoiling of this green and pleasant land continues

We haven't got a (five year)housing and land supply.
Goodness me neighbours they will be building in you back garden if you let them.
Something smells fishy here.🤔
