Kelland Homes has targeted land off Crosemere Crescent in Cockshutt near Ellesmere for 14 new houses including a range of bungalows, semi-detached and detached properties.

A consultation on the proposals is running until Wednesday, December 3, as part of the planning permission process for the project.

A design and access statement submitted by Woodsyde Developments on behalf of the applicant said the development has been designed “to respect the surrounding residential character whilst providing a sustainable and well-integrated addition to the village”.

The development would comprise a single cul-de-sac, with three properties fronting Crosemere Crescent. Within the centre of the cul-de-sac would be open space. Additional planting and landscaping would be provided, as would benches for residents.
