Developer considers appeal as access road plan is thrown out

350-home scheme agreed but cannot go ahead without access

The LDRS reported recently how a planned development with 350 homes in Cronton had hit the rocks after a vital access road application was thrown out by Knowsley Council.

Plans for the estate itself off Chapel Lane, most of which lay within the Halton boundary, had already been rubber-stamped by Halton Council weeks earlier.
