Planning officer Daniel Evans said the site, which is south of Old Mill Road, already had an extant permission for residential development, so if councillors were minded to approve the application it should be delegated back to officers to resolve the matter with the agency.

In 2022, Cheshire East's southern planning committee went against the council officer's recommendation and turned down an application for 55 dwellings on the land off Close Lane on grounds of insufficient open spaces and garden sizes. Council planners say this latest proposal from Breck Homes deals with those previous concerns.
