Planning for the Middlewich Eastern Bypass

The scheme

The Middlewich Eastern Bypass will deliver a new two-way single carriageway road, connecting a new roundabout junction off Pochin Way in the north to another new roundabout junction to the south, linking with the A533 Booth Lane. 

Planning

The Middlewich Eastern Bypass scheme has full planning consent with conditions.

Planning permission 20/2064C amended the original permission 18/5833C, and 20/2162C formed a new permission extending the boundaries of the scheme for revised ecological mitigations and other minor changes to the design.

Two applications for minor material amendments to the permissions were approved with conditions in March 2022. These are 21/2044C and 21/2073C.

Full details of all applications can be found on the planning portal or within the documentation on the Statutory Orders page.

Prior to works commencing on site a number of the planning conditions need to be formally discharged by the council’s planning department and the work to achieve this is at an advanced stage. Conditions in relation to the early construction works described below have already been discharged.
