Planning application 26/03357/OUT
Up to 495 homes are proposed on Green Belt land north of Chester Road, Hartford
Residents have prepared a detailed, fully referenced objection. Every household is invited to read it and, if they agree, to sign it here.
Sign by Sunday 15th November 2026 to be included when the letter is submitted on Tuesday 17th November 2026.
How it works
- Enter your details. The names of the adults in your household who wish to sign, your address and an email address.
- Confirm your email. A personal link is sent to you. There is no password to remember.
- Read the letter. Your copy carries its own reference.
- Sign it. One button, shown throughout the letter. Your signature is confirmed on screen straight away.
When the objection goes to the council
On 10th November 2026 the council's register showed three consultation dates for this application: Wednesday 18th November 2026 for neighbours who were sent a letter, Sunday 29th November 2026 for the site notice, and Friday 4th December 2026 for the press advertisement. So that the objection is in before the earliest of them, without closing the door on households who have not yet seen it, it is going to the council in two stages.
- Tuesday 17th November 2026. The letter is submitted with every household that has signed by Sunday 15th November 2026.
- Thursday 3rd December 2026. A further schedule is sent, adding every household that signs by Tuesday 1st December 2026, with any updates to the letter.
Signing early puts your household in the first submission. Signing later still counts.

Why this is now a website
The objection began with copies sent one by one to neighbours on the streets around the site. So many households have since asked to read it that individual copies are no longer practical, so the letter is now read and signed here. Each household still receives its own referenced copy, and anyone who signed an earlier version can read the latest one and confirm it in the same place.
What is proposed
Redrow Homes has applied to Cheshire West and Chester Council for outline planning permission for up to 465 homes and land for a primary school, or up to 495 homes, on 34.21 hectares of Green Belt north of Chester Road. The council's reference is 26/03357/OUT.
What the objection covers
- Ancient wood pasture and parkland, an irreplaceable habitat mapped by Natural England on part of the site.
- The Green Belt, and whether the site is in a sustainable location.
- Traffic, access and road safety.
- Drainage, flood risk and the railway.
- Protected species and the claimed biodiversity gain.
- Landscape, neighbouring homes, heritage and public footpaths.
- Gaps and errors in the applicant's Environmental Statement.
Every point is referenced to the applicant's own documents, national planning policy or the council's adopted Local Plan.
Why your details are needed
The council gives weight only to objections from named residents. Your name and address will appear in the schedule sent to the council, and the council may publish the representations it receives on its planning register. Names are not shown on this site. Your email address is used only to give you access and to tell you about updates. You will never be asked for money, bank details or a password.
Your own letter counts too
Signing the joint letter and writing a short objection of your own do different jobs, and doing both is best. See the guide, the pros and cons, and a template.
