London Road, Holmes Chapel
Welcome
Welcome to Bridgemount Developments (Holmes Chapel) Ltd’s consultation on the draft proposals for residential development at London Road, Holmes Chapel.
Feedback from the local community and key stakeholders is important to us and all comments will be carefully considered as we develop and shape our proposals. Once we have considered the feedback from this consultation, it is Bridgemount Developments’ intention to submit an outline planning application (with all matters reserved except for access) for residential development to Cheshire East Council.
Please take time to review the information on this webpage and on the online consultation boards and let us know what you think.
Site Context ⭢
The site extends to 3.69 hectares and comprises brownfield land, which has historically been used for chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, having comprised part of the former Fisons site.
As detailed on the consultation boards, the site has extant planning permission for retail development. Whilst the retail development is deliverable, Bridgemount Developments has been considering its options and is proposing a residential development, which would have benefits to the local area, including reduced traffic impact when compared to the extant retail consent, the delivery of a mix of affordable and market housing on a brownfield site, and the achievement of 10% Biodiversity Net Gain.
Emerging Proposals
The proposals will include the delivery of:
Up to 100 dwellings on a previously developed, brownfield site within the settlement boundary of Holmes Chapel; an identified Local Service Centre.
Housing at a density of 42 dwellings per hectare in a sustainable and accessible location, which reflects the character of the surrounding development and will make efficient use of land, in accordance with local and national planning policy.
A mix of new properties, including homes for first time buyers, people looking to downsize, and families. Bungalows will also be included within the scheme.
30% affordable housing, in accordance with local planning policy.
Housing that meets the Nationally Described Space Standards and delivers 30% M4(2) and 6% M4(3) housing, in accordance with local planning policy.
A policy compliant level of Public Open Space.
Biodiversity Net Gain of 10%, in accordance with national policy.
Energy efficiency measures, such as Air Source Heat Pumps and PV panels.
