Planning application responses

We aim to monitor planning applications to all the local authorities in the area we cover.

But as a small team of volunteers, we can only respond to a limited number (see how you can help us do more). We do also provide resources to help individuals make their own comments. For more information, see help with responding to planning applications.

Note this website list starts with responses made in February 2026. We have of course made hundreds of responses before this.

List of planning application responses and appeal submissions

Bloor Homes, Prestbury Road, Macclesfield

Approx. 200 homes on Green Belt

We originally objected to this application in February 2025. We then submitted an updated objection in July 2025 following further submissions by Bloor. The application was refused by Cheshire East Council, but the developers have now gone to appeal.

Submission to appeal  (APP/R0660/W/25/3374597) – Feb 2026

Appeal submission appendices 2-4 

Appeal submission appendix 1 – updated objection to original planning application 25/0210/OUT 

Help us fight for the countryside

The countryside is under threat as never before, and we need to step up our efforts to protect it.

With increased housing targets and weakened Green Belt protections, we are seeing a huge increase in applications to build on inappropriate green field sites. Putting together strong objections and running campaigns takes both time and a sound knowledge of planning legislation. This means we need money for professional input to supplement our volunteer team’s efforts.
