Description

Leighton Green is located to the north-west of Crewe on the edge of the settlement boundary, approximately 2 miles north-west of Crewe town centre and 4.5 miles to the north-east of Nantwich town centre.

The immediate area is semi-rural with agricultural land to the north and west and residential to the east. To the south is amenity land and a cemetery.

The main access to Leighton Green will be via a new roundabout constructed as part of Cheshire East Council’s circa £30 million new road scheme known as the North West Crewe Package (opening June 2024). The new roundabout forms part of a spine road serving development areas within Leighton West.

Leighton Green extends to a total area of approx. 16.26 ha (40.19 acres), providing a largely level development site intersected by the North West Crewe Package road scheme (the areas stated exclude land occupied by the new road).

Whilst the development area is greenfield, it is situated adjacent to a former landfill with the development’s amenity and ecological areas sited on the former landfill itself. Further details including Technical Reports are available within the Data Room.

Surface and foul water drainage infrastructure for Leighton Green has been incorporated into the design and build for the North West Crewe Package scheme. This drainage infrastructure will be built to an adoptable standard with ‘as built’ plans provided by the Council once the North West Crewe Package scheme has been completed. Further details including Technical Reports are available within the Data Room.
