🚨A MAJOR INVESTMENT IN CHESHIRE🚨

Our development on Radway Green Industrial Estate is a huge vote of confidence in the Cheshire economy as our region looks to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic

Initially the proposals will generate employment through construction and the supply chain, providing a boost to the local economy in Alsager and Crewe

Our site represents:
📈A potential investment of £75million
👷The creation of up to 1,500 new jobs in Alsager and Crewe

By providing modern new accommodation for industrial and warehousing operations close to the motorway network, this development will enable Cheshire to take advantage of some of the fastest growing sectors in the economy

Use of an allocated employment site

The 25-hectare site is currently agricultural land but is zoned for employment use in the Cheshire East Local Plan and Alsager Neighbourhood Plan.

By bringing forward a development of up to 1,020,000sqft of new employment floorspace we will be helping to deliver on the ambition of the Council to create new jobs in the area.

The site is ideally situated, being:
🛣Less than 2 miles from Junction 16 of the M6 motorway
🏙Located between the three major conurbations of Greater Manchester, Merseyside and the West Midlands
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Able to serve almost 25% of the population of England

A low impact on local highways

We recognise that a development of this nature can often lead to concern about the potential impact on local highways. Prior to submitting our plans, Cheshire East Council assessed the likely impact our proposals would have. This assessment returned the view that the likely highways impact would be low.

Provisions have also been put in place to limit the impact of potential future employees on local roads:
🚗 Car parking spaces will be contained within the site
🔒 Secure cycle storage will be provided
🚲 Safe cycling and pedestrian routes will be located throughout the development to encourage active travel

Improving local footpaths

We recognise that there is a significant network of public footpaths across Cheshire. Our proposals are close to two such footpaths, namely Barthomley FP24 and Barthomley FP26. FP24 runs through the site from its southern boundary to Radway Green Road and FP26 runs along the southern boundary of the site.

If our development goes ahead, we will have to change the alignment of the FP24 in order to retain it. We will be:
🌳Diverting the FP24 to connect to the FP26 so that it no longer passes through the development
🚶Making enhancements to FP26 to make it clearer and easier to use.

Our intentions for the footpaths are informed by a survey we undertook which found neither footpath was in regular use. However, we are mindful of the benefits of exercise to both physical and mental wellbeing and are therefore committed to improving the footpaths affected by our plans to preserve them and in the hope that they will attract greater use.🪵👣

Managing Environmental Impact

The site allocated for an extension to Radway Green is currently arable land and considered to have low biodiversity value.

As part of our development we will deliver biodiversity net gain in the area via:
🌱 More than 1km of new planting around the perimeter
💧 Water features for sustainable drainage and aquatic habitats
🌳 A potential new woodland adjacent to Foxley farm in the south

This will maintain or enhance the habitats for a range of species, including foraging mammals such as badgers & bats, and amphibious species such as frogs, toads & newts.

We have now submitted our planning application to Cheshire East Council. We hope that it will be determined before the spring so that we can start work on bringing our investment and new jobs to the area!
