Hallam Land reveals 1,700-home Crewe ambitions
Summary
Hallam Land Management has initiated the planning process for a large residential scheme near Crewe by seeking an Environmental Impact Assessment scoping opinion for land around Moss Lane, Leighton North. The indicative masterplan could accommodate up to 1,700 homes alongside provision for over-55s housing, a primary school, a local centre and ancillary retail.
Why it matters
The proposal is at an early but significant stage and will require environmental assessment because of its scale and countryside location. Residential surveyors should note the potential implications for local housing supply, infrastructure provision and future planning activity in Cheshire East.
