Crewe plans 2,100 new homes near hospital
11 Mar
Summary
- Over 2,000 homes planned for land near Leighton Hospital.
- Cheshire Fresh Ltd proposes a 'sustainable community' named Weavers Green.
- Public consultation for the mixed-use development ends April 6.
A significant new development, named Weavers Green, is being planned for land adjacent to Leighton Hospital in Crewe. Cheshire Fresh Ltd is preparing an application that could see more than 2,000 homes constructed, alongside approximately 65,500 sq ft of commercial space. This proposal is viewed by the developer as a crucial growth opportunity and a natural expansion for Crewe.
The chosen site is highlighted for its convenient access to major employers like Leighton Hospital and Bentley Motors. Furthermore, the developer states the land is well-suited for construction due to the absence of significant landscape, ecological, or heritage-related limitations. The vision is for a fully integrated neighbourhood rather than solely a housing project.
An outline planning application has been submitted, and a public consultation period for these proposals is open until April 6. This offers residents and stakeholders an opportunity to provide feedback on the plans for this large, mixed-use development.
