People on a large housing estate in could be living in properties not worth anything because the appropriate planning permission was not granted. The homes are also on potentially contaminated land, it has been claimed.
The developer was given permission to build the 263-home development in 2018. But because it failed to deal with a condition relating to contaminated land the estate does not have the correct approval.
Countryside Partnerships, which built the homes, asked Cheshire East Council to approve a new application to regularise the development. The developer said it had worked with council officers ‘and they are satisfied the site does not pose a risk to human health,' CheshireLive reports.
