Cheshire East Local Plan: Call for sites 2026
Cheshire East Local Plan: Call for sites 2026
The council is in the early stages of preparing a new local plan for Cheshire East and this will consider the development needs of the borough into the 2040s.
In order to understand what land might be available to meet future needs, we are inviting landowners, developers, residents, and other parties to submit sites to the council for housing, employment, minerals or waste uses.
The call for sites submission period is now open, and this will end on the 31 March 2026. Information about the sites received will be published in due course.
To find out more about the new local plan, previous call for sites and how to submit a site, please visit our call for sites webpage.
Closes Tuesday, 31 March 2026
