Six five-bedroom homes are proposed for a field off Crewe Road at Haslington.

Goodland Estate Ltd has applied for permission in principle for the detached houses on land adjacent to 283 Crewe Road.

Daniel Matthias Architecture, representing the applicant, says the site lies between Haslington and Winterley and represents infill rather than isolated countryside development.

A planning statement submitted on behalf of the applicant says: "The site is best described as a logical rounding-off opportunity, visually and physically contained by surrounding development and landscape features."

The document says the proposal is for six detached, five-bedroom dwellings, generous private garden space, off-street parking and driveways, a single point of vehicular access off Crewe Road and the retention and enhancement of existing hedgerow boundaries.

It says the site represents a sustainable infill plot within an established residential context.

It is not isolated, is physically and visually contained, has direct access to the public highway and is within walking distance of services.

The application is for permission in principle (PIP), a two-stage mechanism for obtaining planning approval for housing development.

This first stage is to establish whether the site is suitable in principle.

That limits the scope for consideration to location, land use and the amount of development.

If PIP is granted, the site must receive a grant of technical details consent before development can proceed.

The last date for submitting comments is Tuesday 2 June.
