Plans for the construction of nine detached houses in south Warrington are on the verge of approval. The proposed development, located on land at North View on Stretton Road, has been put forward for consideration by the development management committee.
Access to the new houses would be facilitated through Stretton Road. The application is likely to be given the green light, with certain conditions attached. The development manager will have the authority to make minor adjustments to the planning conditions before the final decision is made.
The site earmarked for the nine houses covers an area of 0.5 hectares and is currently covered in grassland, with a hedgerow marking the northern boundary. Nearby, there are existing dwellings to the west and open agricultural fields to the south. The land was removed from the green belt following the Warrington Local Plan 2023.
The application seeks outline planning permission for the construction of up to nine residential properties, with access from Stretton Road. Details such as design, scale, layout, landscaping, and parking will be finalized in a future application.
However, the Stretton Parish Council has voiced its concerns regarding the proposal. They argue that the lack of affordable housing, the density of the development, and the safety of the access point on a bend in the road are all issues that need to be addressed.
Despite these objections, the report presented to the committee suggests that the proposed development aligns with the Local Plan and should be considered acceptable based on material considerations.
Overall, the development of nine houses in south Warrington is moving closer to becoming a reality, pending final approval from the development management committee. The decision will have a significant impact on the local area and its residents, shaping the future landscape of the community.
