Renew submits plans for 1,000 homes
LIVERPOOL’S Renew Land Developments has submitted outline plans for 1,000 homes at the White Moss Quarry site near Alsager, Cheshire.
It also includes a 100-150 bed extra-care housing facility and local services such as retail units, a daycare centre, a pub and a doctors’ surgery.
Under the plans the existing garden centre would be relocated.
Lee Dawkin, director of Renew Land Development, said: “This a great opportunity for the creation of an entirely new village within Cheshire East on an area of land which, although not strictly classified as brownfield, has been badly disturbed over a long period of time. The response from local businesses has been positive as they’ve been quick to recognise the benefits the development will bring to the area.
“We have done our utmost to engage with residents to ensure as much clarity over the plans as possible. Not only have we undertaken two rounds of public consultation, we have met with the town council, parish council and members of the White Moss Liaison Group, who have actively encouraged the bringing forward of this application due to the current use of the site.”
Alan Thornley of Civitas Planning, who has worked on the scheme, said: “Whilst the development is specifically designed to create an independent new village with a high level of service provision, many of the facilities will no doubt be used by residents of Alsager, particularly the convenience store, retail facilities and public open space. The development will also provide area that will provide a big boost to the local ecology, protecting animals and plants, while providing a green space that local residents can enjoy.”
