Cityside lodges plans for 88 Wilmslow homes
Summary
Cityside has submitted plans for an 88-home residential scheme in Wilmslow on 10 acres of Green Belt land, which it says meets Grey Belt criteria. The proposal includes a landscape-led layout with a shared meadow, orchard and 45% affordable housing, but the application has not yet been validated by Cheshire East Council.
Why it matters
The scheme highlights how Grey Belt policy and affordable housing requirements are being used to support development on land previously constrained by Green Belt designation. Surveyors may need to consider the planning, valuation and site appraisal implications of such proposals, particularly where policy interpretation and local authority validation are still unresolved.
