PLANNING
ALERT – HOLLIES FARM
Redrow originally had outline planning permission for 350
dwellings on Hollies Farm and has received planning consent so far for 279. Now
approaching Phase 5 of the development, due to progressive high density
building in the previous phases, it finds it has room for a further 276
dwellings, in part by encroaching into an area that was designated park land
bordering the River Weaver and Marshall’s Arm.
If approved, it would bring the total number of properties on Hollies
Farm to 555! With the 300 dwellings on The Grange Farm development, that’s 855
new properties in total! Together with other smaller developments over the past
couple of years, that’s an increase of approaching 50% in the size of Hartford.
All without any improvement whatsoever in what was an already struggling
traffic, health, educational and environmental infrastructure!
If you object to this over development of Hartford, go on
line to the Chester West and Cheshire web site, planning and building controls,
see or comment on a planning application, enter key word or reference number, type
in ref no 17/01954/FUL, click on public comments. Alternatively, write to Mr R Charnley,
Planning Department, 4 Civic Way, Ellesmere Port, CH65 0BE, quoting the ref no
17/01954?FUL. The more objections received, the more likely that permission
will be refused. Closing date is 2 June 2017.
