A 660-home estate, together with a 60-bed care home, flexible commercial area, mobility hub and a local centre is proposed for fields across Wistaston in Crewe West.

An environmental impact assessment (EIA) scoping report from planning agent Turley, says applicant, Hawthorn Estates Investments, intends to submit an outline application to Cheshire East Council for the scheme on land off Wistaston Green Road.

The proposal also includes public open space, landscaping and associated infrastructure.

Vehicular access will be from a roundabout on Wistaston Green Road (pictured), located at the north eastern border of the site (Google).

The report says: "Construction is anticipated to commence on site in 2026, subject to gaining planning permission.

"The proposed development will be delivered in a phased manner and, whilst subject to market demand, final completion and occupation is anticipated in 2030."

The site is bound by Wistaston Green Road to the north/northeast; a woodland belt and Wistaston Green Brook to the east/southeast; residential development associated with land northwest of Church Lane to the southeast and agricultural land south and west.

The proposed development will provide up to 660 residential dwellings across the site and a care home/later living accommodation with up to 60 beds.

There will also be a small local centre with retail units, landscaping and ecological enhancements together with public open space.

Vehicular access will be from a roundabout on Wistaston Green Road located at the north eastern border of the site.

The report says: "This will connect to the internal road network of secondary and tertiary roads that will lead to the proposed dwellings and local centre.

Hawthorn Estates Investments are hopeful final completion of the development, along with occupation of the site is achieved by 2030 (Hawthorn Estates Investments).

"There will also be the potential for a separate emergency access on Wistaston Green Road to the south-east of the primary access.

"This will also serve the site as a new pedestrian and cycle link to Wistaston Green Road.

"Roads will provide access for residents, visitors, deliveries, service and emergency vehicles."

The proposed development will also incorporate new pedestrian and cycle accesses and routes, providing connections between the development parcels.
