The scheme includes two and three-storey buildings.

New trees will be planted throughout the site and each house will have a private garden.

Each apartment will also have its own independent garden private space.

The planning document says: "The proposal also incorporates public open space, which will be equipped with a neighbourhood equipped area for play designed to provide a high-quality play environment suitable for older children as well as younger children when accompanied by an adult."

The NEAP will be in the north-western part of the site.

The planning document states: "The development is expected to appeal particularly to young professionals and families employed in nearby urban centres such as Crewe, Stoke, and Manchester, as well as those working in surrounding towns including Sandbach, Middlewich, Congleton, and Holmes Chapel.

"The site's strategic location, combined with its proximity to key transport corridors, positions it well to support sustainable commuting patterns and contribute to local housing supply in a manner consistent with the spatial strategy."

The application, number 26/1919/RES, can be viewed on the planning portal on Cheshire East Council's website.
