Hands Off Wistaston campaigners fighting Gladman plans for Witters Field

A six-day public inquiry into a controversial planning appeal in Wistaston near Nantwich is underway.

Gladman Developments appealed against refusal of their application to build around 300 homes on Witters Field.

Hands Off Wistaston (HOW) campaigners have been fighting the company, which has also submitted an adapted second version of the same application.

Now they have joined local councillors in calling on residents to turn out in force at the inquiry which began today (August 5) and is set to last into next week

HOW spokesman Peter Wainwright said: “We have done so much work over the last year or so keeping this planning application in the public eye.

“The fight has not just been about Witters Field we are absolutely adamant our local Green Gaps should be retained and is the message we have consistently given out.

“Wistaston residents have been absolutely fantastic with their support every time they have been asked to comment or join in with public consultation.

“Witters Field matters so much to them so we urge them to see this fight through to the end and drop in at the appeal.”

Wistaston Ward Councillor Margaret Simon added: “Cheshire East Council, local ward councillors, the parish council and HOW will be working very hard at the appeal, on behalf of their residents, to try to put a stop to this unwanted, unplanned development.

“It would be great if residents could come along and show their support.”

The appeal is being held at the Council Chamber, Municipal Buildings, Crewe, from 10am each day.

A decision will most likely be announced later this year.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
