Green light for luxury homes at Alderley Park
Planning permission has been granted for 74 prestige family homes on the 400-acre site Alderley Park – the form base of global pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca.
Cheshire East Council’s planners gave the PH Homes development the thumbs up on Friday.
The properties, ranging from two-bedroom townhouses to six-bedroom villas, will be split into three distinct yet complementary developments.
They are: The Ride, with detached and semi-detached homes adjoining the cricket pitch, walled garden and mature trees; Cedar Square’s Georgian-style townhouses and semi-detached properties arranged around a Lebanese Cedar tree; and The Serpentine, an eclectic mix of larger six bedroom villas which takes its name from the winding body of water which marks its southern boundary.
The Alderley Park scheme also includes consent for a gastro-pub, farm shop and newly constructed sporting facilities including a gym, squash and tennis courts, while residents will also enjoy access to the estate parkland, woodland walks and the original listed walled gardens, arboretum, water garden and serpentine.
The properties themselves have been designed by international award-winning architect Robert Adam, who worked closely with the local planning authority to ensure the scheme set a benchmark for the wider Alderley Park plan.
Adam’s designs for each bespoke classical house type combine spacious accommodation with individual style reflecting the quality and finish for which PH Homes are renowned.
“We’re absolutely delighted and excited that our scheme for this exceptional site has met with full approval and we’re looking forward to launching the development in the next few months” said Philip Hughes, managing director of PH Homes. “It’s a truly unique opportunity and I can’t wait to get started.
Following the planning approval, construction work will begin in earnest over the next few weeks, and the first homes should be available by early 2018.
