Councillors Jos Saunders and Hayley Whittaker are currently reviewing a planning application that seeks to build nine homes on green belt land adjacent to Woodhouse Farm, Anson Road. The site lies within open countryside, approximately 2km east of Poynton.
📍 What’s Proposed? Oaklyn Construction Ltd has submitted a “Permission in Principle” (PIP) application to Cheshire East Council. This is the first stage in a two-part process to determine whether the site is suitable for housing development.
📋 Key Concerns
- The site is designated green belt, raising questions about policy compliance.
- The developer argues it qualifies as “grey belt” and cites national planning policy exceptions.
- Local access, infrastructure, and environmental impact remain under scrutiny.
📸 On-Site Review Jos and William have visited the location and shared initial findings on the new Poynton CE Cllrs Facebook page. Photos from the investigation highlight the rural character of the site and its proximity to community amenities.
🗣️ Community Engagement Residents are encouraged to review the application (ref: 25/2813/PIP) on the Cheshire East Planning Portal and submit comments by September 10.
