Muller Property Group is bring forward proposals for Phase 2 of the Maylands Park Development in Nantwich. The proposals will deliver around 400 high-quality homes offering a range of sizes, types and tenures, including a policy- compliant proportion of 30% affordable dwellings, ensuring a diverse and sustainable community, alongside green spaces, improved infrastructure, and sustainable drainage solutions.

The site area measures 49 acres (19.84 hectares) of which 34.4 acres will be for the proposed housing scheme, with the remaining 14.6 acres for public open space, landscaping, Biodiversity Net Gain enhancements, newt mitigation, and wildlife habitat.

The site is located outside the greenbelt and occupies a highly sustainable location on the edge of the settlement boundary of Nantwich. It was submitted via Cheshire East Council’s latest Call for Sites and promoted through the Council’s review of the Local Plan.

Location and Access

The proposed development site for Maylands Park Phase 2 comprises approximately 20 hectares of agricultural land situated immediately south of Nantwich’s urban area. To the north lies the residential development of Stapeley Water Gardens, along with land consented as Maylands Park Phase 1, which benefits from various planning permissions for residential development, a local centre, a retirement home, employment development, and public open space including a new village green, children’s play areas and allotments.

Primary access to the site is proposed via the spine road through the consented Phase 1 development to the north, which connects to Peter Destapleigh Way (A530). A secondary access is proposed to the west of the site, linking to Broad Lane (A259). As part of the proposed development, the spine road will link Peter Destapleigh Way (A530) to Broad Lane (A529), providing an alternate route into Nantwich from the south.
