Muller ramps up Sandbach ambitions
Summary
Muller Property Group has submitted a hybrid planning application for the second phase of its Sandbach South masterplan in Cheshire East, proposing up to 452 homes alongside local centre uses, sports facilities, public open space and supporting infrastructure. The scheme builds on an approved first phase already being delivered by Anwyl Homes and is being advanced against the backdrop of a constrained local housing land supply position.
Why it matters
The application is relevant to residential property surveyors because it involves a major mixed-use housing scheme with significant infrastructure, affordable housing and planning obligations that may affect land value, delivery phasing and development viability. Surveyors working in development, valuation or planning support should note the stated technical assessments, access works and potential community infrastructure contributions.
Key points
- Hybrid consent sought for up to 452 homes on a 79-acre site south of Old Mill Road, Sandbach
- Proposal includes 30% affordable housing, a local centre, sports facilities and extensive public open space
- Full permission requested for demolition, spine road, site access and enabling infrastructure
- Cheshire East’s housing land supply is cited at 3.3 years, below the five-year requirement
- Development could start in 2027, with first occupations expected in 2028 if approved
