OBJECT TO THE JONES HOMES DEVELOPMENT
Revised Plans Expected – We Need You Ready
Planning Reference: 25/3735/FUL
This page will be updated with full objection huidance as soon as the revised plans are made public.

The original planning application by Jones Homes in September 2025 for 84 houses on Green Belt farmland off Welton Drive and Stockton Road was overwhlmingly rejected.
Hundreds of local residents and nearly every statutory consultee objected to or recommended refusal of the plans, including:
– Environment Agency — flood risk assessment non-compliant
– Lead Local Flood Authority — no adequate drainage strategy
– United Utilities — drainage hierarchy not investigated
– CEC Environmental Protection — missing noise assessment
– CEC Ecology — incomplete wildlife surveys
– Manchester Airport — bird hazard concerns
– Cheshire Fire & Rescue — incorrect emergency vehicle specifications
As a result, Jones Homes have spent nearly a year drawing up revised plans. We expect these to be submitted in the coming weeks. When they are, everyone who objected before will need to object again — previous objections do not automatically carry over to amended plans.
