PLANS have been submitted to Warrington Borough Council for a development of up to nine dwellings on a small Green Belt site at Lymm.
The proposal is at the far end of Pepper Street where it meets Sutch Lane, an attractive bridleway and where an application for a larger housing development was rejected by planners some time ago following opposition from local people concerned about additional traffic on Pepper Street – particularly at its “business end” where it meets the Cross.
This Is widely regarded as one of the busiest junctions in Lymm and particularly hazardous for pedestrians.
The new proposal seeks permission in principle and detailed matters, such as design, siting, size, highways, design and ecology would require a subsequent application in the event of approval.
Concerns remain about the existing weight of traffic on Pepper Street, particularly at “school run” times.
The site, part of which is already used as a dog exercising area, adjoins the Bridgewater Canal and includes a popular canal-side walk leading to Oughtrington Lane and beyond.
Applicant Mr Mohammad Waheed believes the small size of the scheme means it would not damage the openness of the Green Belt.
Planning chiefs are currently studying the proposals

I’m outraged this will spoil the charm of Canal walks and peace, whilst appreciating nature at it’s finest. This field should be only sold on as a going concern, farming land has been snapped up by greedy investors who want to slowly destroy the charm of the village….I don’t want to be a town or city thank you dictators, the council is wanting even more money for the vast amount of people claiming benefits whilst not working..If anything Lymm desperately needs manufacturing and other fields of employment with the constant threats of war we will starve and go short. Sewerage was illegally running from that guys field into the canal quite some time ago..Till we reported it to him.
