Walking and cycling
Improving connections between the new neighbourhood and the existing community, including extending the Public Rights of Way network to make it easier for people to travel on foot or by bike.
Why are new homes needed?
Within Cheshire East, there aren't enough homes to meet the needs of current and future generations. Many people struggle to buy their first home, families need more space and others are looking to downsize while staying in the communities they know and love.
To help address this, the Government has increased the number of new homes Cheshire East is expected to deliver over the coming years. In response, Cheshire East Council is preparing a new Local Plan to identify where future homes, jobs and infrastructure should be located and ensure enough land is available to meet the borough’s housing needs. Alongside this, Shavington-cum-Gresty Parish Council is preparing a Neighbourhood Plan to help shape how the village grows in the future.
The development of land at Alfred Potts Way would help deliver the homes Shavington needs while protecting the village’s distinct identity. The proposals include up to 200 high-quality new homes, including 30% affordable homes, next to the existing Cherry Tree Park development.
Why this site?
Choosing the right place for new homes is just as important as delivering the homes themselves.
The site sits next to the Cherry Tree Park development and provides and logical extension to an established and thriving community This means we can make use of existing connections and create a development that relates well to the village and the surrounding area. The site is well located to support Shavington’s future growth while respecting the village’s distinct identity and character.
We’ve been building homes in Shavington and across Cheshire East for many years. Our experience of delivering successful neighbourhoods, including Cherry Tree Park, means we’re well placed to create another high-quality development that complements the existing community and provides homes for future generations.
