en.Wedoany.com Reported - IM Land, a Midlands-based land developer, has submitted an outline planning application to Cheshire East Council for a residential development on farmland off Crewe Road in Shavington, proposing 450 homes, a primary school, and 33 acres of open space. The application has been developed following a public consultation last December, with IM Land reducing the housing target from 500 to 450 homes.

According to the indicative masterplan drafted by Stantec, 30% of the proposed 450 homes will be affordable housing, with the residential element occupying 30 acres of the 75-acre site. The application also includes a 100-space car park to support the adjacent football club, Crewe Alexandra in the Community. Access to the development will be from Crewe Road, with a secondary emergency access from Gresty Lane leading to North Road.

The site is adjacent to a 120-home scheme recently granted committee approval by Richborough. Reasons cited by planning consultant Tetra Tech for approving the residential development application include the provision of affordable housing, the sports club car park, improved open space and active travel connections, a primary school with a nursery, and Cheshire East Council's lack of a five-year housing land supply.

In addition to Tetra Tech and Stantec, the project team includes MEC, FPCR, EDP, and Pegasus.
