Plans for up to 450 new homes in Chester will be revealed at a community drop-in event on Tuesday (20 October).

Taylor Wimpey is preparing an outline planning application for a new residential development of up to 450 new homes on land south of Parkgate Road in Mollington.

Residents can speak to members of the project team during a drop-in event on Tuesday 20 October from 5pm to 7pm, at the Mollington Banastre Hotel on Parkgate Road.

It is believed that feedback from the local community will help shape Taylor Wimpey's outline planning application, which will be submitted to Cheshire West and Chester Council later in the autumn.

According to the developer, the project will contain a variety of "high-quality" and "energy efficient" homes, of which at least 45% will be designated as affordable housing.

Vehicular access into the site will also be created by two new junctions on Parkgate Road, and there will be multiple footpath connections into surrounding communities.

Tim Booth, planning manager at Taylor Wimpey North West, said: "Gathering local views is an essential part of our development process.

"Engaging with the community and listening to their ideas will enable us to make the best possible contribution to Mollington and the surrounding area.

"We're keen to hear from residents, businesses and stakeholders on our plans for a new, sustainable development.

"For those unable to attend the drop-in events, our plans and exhibition boards will be available to view online, alongside ways to get involved and have your say."

A public consultation is being held until midnight on Sunday 1 November, in order to gather public input from local residents. During this time, details of the proposals will be available to view here.
