Plans submitted for homes in Middlewich

Plans have been submitted for a massive 2,100-home estate in the open countryside. Cheshire Fresh Ltd has applied for outline permission to build up to 2,100 homes, including 30 per cent affordable, on land at Red Hall Farm off Middlewich Road, close to Leighton Hospital, in Crewe. 

The scheme includes the demolition of existing buildings, the provision of employment land, retail and health services, and space to support a local centre, as well as provision of a site for a primary school and public open space.
