Sandbach and the Local Plan

Sandbach has a population of approximately 18,000 and is situated in the Borough of  Cheshire East.

Cheshire East is characterised by its distinctive historic towns each with their own history, character and charm. These towns lie at the heart of the Borough, and their vitality and growth is essential for the future prosperity of Cheshire East. These towns serve as Key Service Centres for a wider locality with a good range of facilities including shops, schools and cultural and leisure facilities.

The Key Service Centres of Alsager, Congleton, Handforth, Knutsford, Middlewich, Nantwich, Poynton, Sandbach and Wilmslow provide a range of services and opportunities for employment, retail and education. They serve a wide catchment area and contain public transport links. The Key Service Centres offer opportunities for sustainable economic growth that can meet the aspirations of the Borough and local communities.

The Vision for the Key Service Centres is:

The towns Alsager, Congleton, Handforth, Knutsford, Middlewich, Nantwich, Poynton, Sandbach and Wilmslow will see growth, with high quality homes and business premises provided to meet local needs, where smaller independent traders will continue to thrive and where all development will contribute to creating a strong sense of place.

Sandbach

The final Sandbach Town Strategy is firmly based on ensuring the town moves towards being a balanced community by increasing employment opportunities in the town, through

delivering additional employment land, promoting tourism opportunities in the town and enhancing and promoting the town centre. The protection and enhancement of the town's heritage and important green areas on the edge of the town are seen as important objectives.

The Sandbach Town Strategy identifies a number of potential development areas in the town, however, these have not been agreed by Sandbach Town Council at this stage.

Sandbach - a thriving market town, with a historic heart. The aims of the draft Sandbach Town Strategy include ensuring that by 2030, the town has a vibrant economy, with growth appropriate to the scale of the town.

To ensure that Sandbach has a vibrant economy, the Sandbach Town Strategy recognises the need for additional employment development in Sandbach including a new business park adjacent to Junction 17 of the M6.

The Development Strategy identifies this area as a mixed use site, to include 20 hectares of employment land, a local centre, open space and about 700 new homes. The development of this site also reflects a key part of the overall Development Strategy which is to ensure that a range of new jobs are provided within the M6 corridor. The development of this site will also provide improvements to Junction 17 of the M6.

A further site is proposed at the former Albion Chemical Works, where the Council has previously resolved to grant planning permission for a mixed development including 375 dwellings and employment land. The development of this site would also help to ensure that the town has a vibrant economy that will provide a variety of jobs in the future and a choice of high quality places for

people to live.

A 'Strategic Open Gap' is proposed to ensure that Sandbach does not merge with nearby settlements such as Crewe and retains its rural setting. This reflects the objectives of the Sandbach town strategy.
