A councillor has called for a controversial planning appeal decision in Nantwich to be taken to judicial review.

Willaston and Rope Cllr Brian Silvester believes the 146-home Moorfields planning decision to be taken to judicial review by the Cheshire East Council.

Local residents are angry that planning permission was granted by the Planning Inspectorate after an appeal, despite unanimous opposition.

“They feel badly let down by the broken promises and incompetence of the Cheshire East Council,” said Cllr Silvester.

“I think there is a clear case for going to judicial review over the Moorfields decision.

“In an appeal decision only a few days earlier, for land off Sydney Road Crewe, in the green gap, the appeal was rejected because of the negative impact on the green gap between Crewe and Haslington.

“In light of the Sydney Road decision, the Moorfields decision looks to be perverse and ripe for challenge.

“I hope the council proceeds to judicial review as soon as possible.

“Cheshire East has failed local residents on planning and this is an opportunity to try and put it right.

“They should grasp that opportunity.”

Cllr Silvester has vowed to write to the chief executive, asking him to go ahead with a judicial review.

We contacted Cheshire East Council and are awaiting their response.

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.
