Bloor Homes Objections – Key Points

Bloor Homes Objections – Key Points

Closing date for comments 10 Oct 2025

The planning application for 200 homes is now widely known. These homes are to be located on the land next to the Mercure hotel. Which has been submitted to CWAC.

Many residents have contacted the Parish Council. They are concerned about the impact this will have on several issues affecting the community. Christleton Parish council have made it clear we also object to this application.

We have recently gained the support of MP Aphra Brandreth who has written to CWAC. More information on this can be found here https://christleton-pc.gov.uk/aphra-brandreth-joins-the-fight-for-green-belt-in-christleton/

It is important if you object to this application that you make your voices heard. It is not a matter of leaving it to your fellow residents, volumes speak louder to the council.

We provide a guide to key objections. You can use these in your response to the application. You can comment on it here Bloor Home Planning Application.

BLOOR Homes OBJECTION – key points to be used in your own words on the application.

1. It does not qualify as grey belt.
2. It does not satisfy the special circumstance test for green belt.
3. It Eliminates the health and wellbeing benefits of a critical green space between Great Boughton and Christleton.
4. It prejudices the outcome of the local plan consultation for option A alone. Choosing not to withdraw from the green belt is the right choice.
5. The additional access on and off the the A41 creates additional issues;
   • The queue lengths will increase on a road that already sees queueing beyond Waverton several times a day. This is because of the limited capacity of the complex and the accident-prone hamburger junction.
   • further increase the unacceptable NO2 and PM2 concentrations. These concentrations are causing asthma and respiratory complaints. They also lead to heart failure and birth defects amongst the most vulnerable. This includes adults, elderly adults, and children who travel and live close to the A41.
   • Increase the complexity of vehicle movements at the end of Toll Bar Road. This also occurs along and across the A41. It will inevitably increase the number of collisions. Serious injuries are already a regular feature of this length of road.
   • further increase the risks to pedestrians and cyclists. They face danger as they negotiate the shared use path. They also encounter risks at the toll bar road crossing. Cyclists regularly fall into the A41 off the shared user path. They fall into the roadway in front of HGVs.
