UPDATE: Wrenbury Concrete Works
An update from local action group CARIE
(Communities Against Rural Industrial Expansion)
Cheshire East’s Southern Planning Committee unanimously voted to refuse the application for the expansion of the concrete processing business onto Station Yard, next to Wrenbury Station. This means that the permitted use of Station Yard remains that of timber storage and retail, so the concrete processing plant next to the station platform (see photo) is not allowed to operate. This may not be the end of the matter as an appeal can be lodged within the next 6 months.
Please contact CARIE directly (CARIE@wrenbury-pc.gov.uk) if you have any comments and observations of breaches in operation of the current concrete batching site. These might include:
- Noise
- Dust
- HGV movements through the entrance between the houses on Station Rd
- Out of Hours HGV movements of concrete related products.
- Approved operating hours are Monday to Friday 08.00 – 18.00 and Saturday 08.00-14.00,
The CARIE team and local Parish Councils continue to work to protect the area from inappropriate industrial development.

Public Rights of Way
Cheshire East Council has a large public rights of way network, spanning nearly 2,000km. A small team of officers work hard to resolve issues and to keep the network in good condition. As officers can’t walk every path proactively, they need the help of landowners, walkers and riders to let them know if something needs attention.
The rights of way team would like parish councils and their local communities to keep an eye out for problems such as broken stiles, leaning fingerposts or paths being obstructed by crops or locked gates. Issues like these can be reported to the rights of way team via its online portal by clicking the button below.
The rights of way team would also like to hear from people who might be interested in carrying out path inspections, waymarking paths and carrying out light cutting back of vegetation from around signposts, gates and stiles. If you’re interested, please email prow@cheshireeast.gov.uk
New action group formed
Communities Against Rural Industrial Expansion
Many residents have raised great concerns about the huge concrete plant which has been built next to Wrenbury Station without planning permission. There is an action committee that is doing its best to fight this application, via contact with Cheshire East Council, Councillors, and our MP.
The group is called CARIE – Communities Against Rural Industrial Expansion.
If you have concerns about his development that you have not already submitted to Cheshire East Council, or have examples of the impact on your lives, please email these to the CARIE team using the button below or the link at the top of this page. Thank you.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN REFERENDUM RESULT
Huge majority for "YES"
The count is complete and residents have voted in favour of the Newhall Neighbourhood Plan by a huge majority.
192 votes were cast, representing a 27.35% turnout, of which:
184 were YES votes
8 were NO votes
So a huge thank you from all of us in the Neighbourhood Plan team - it's really rewarding to know such a high proportion of residents share the vision of the future shape of the parish and are willing to make their voices heard.
​
The work doesn't stop here though - we now need to focus on how we implement the plan and ensure Cheshire East Council take it into account moving forward. We'll be in touch soon to outline what happens next

Copies of the Neighbourhood plan are available in the Bhurtpore Pub, St Andrew's Church or you can download a copy from the Documents page of this website:
