Welcome to the consultation website for Maylands Park, Nantwich.
Muller Property Group (Muller) are keen to ensure that local residents, businesses and stakeholders are given the opportunity to provide feedback on the principle of a revised set of development uses for the second phase of development at Maylands Park, Nantwich.
Overview
The site currently has outline planning permission (Ref:12/3747N) for a mixed-use development including up to 189 homes, a local centre, employment development, a primary school site, public open space, green infrastructure including ecological area, new vehicle and pedestrian access points and associated works which was approved by the Secretary of State in July 2020.
There are several other subsequent planning consents since the outline permission was granted. The full site history is provided on the Site Background page.
The site comprises of two distinct phases: Phase 1 relates to the residential, public open space and green infrastructure uses; and Phase 2 relates to the remaining mixed-use areas.
Planning permission for 189 dwellings for Phase 1 of development at the site was granted to Barratt & David Wilson Homes and Muller in March 2023 and works have commenced on site.
An extended period of public consultation was undertaken with the community and local Stapeley Parish Council in May 2023 relating to the Phase 2 mixed-use development plans.
Key concerns as part of this consultation exercise included:
- The number of vehicle movements (including Heavy Goods Vehicles) associated with the employment uses.
- The pollution related effects associated with Heavy Goods Vehicles including noise and air pollution.
- The integration of employment uses and its associated operational activities to existing and future residents and users of public open space including children and young people.
- The need for more Public Open Space
Muller and the wider design team have taken on board all the feedback and reviewed each of these concerns to ensure they are comprehensively addressed going forward.
The revised vision for the mixed-use development therefore includes:
- Public Open Space – 1.5 acres (6,070m²)
The approved employment uses provided no public open space. The revised proposals would deliver an additional 1.5 acres of public open space benefitting existing and future residents as well as the local community. - Residential Development – 3.14 acres (12,703m²)
Comprising 48 homes, of which 30% will be affordable housing. The new dwellings ranging from 1-bedroom apartments to 4-bedroom family houses. - Retirement Living Community – 1.51 acres (6,105m²)
Comprising 49 beds, extending up to 3 storeys in height - Care Home – 1.42 acres (5,746m²)
Comprising 80 beds, extending up to 3 storeys in height - Green infrastructure including ecological area
- A new vehicle and pedestrian access points
All feedback received during this consultation for the revised mixed-use scheme will be considered by the design team and, where possible, amendments to the proposals will be made to address feedback received.
The pre-application consultation period will held between 22nd April 2024 and 24th May 2024 however any further feedback is welcome during the application process.
