This page tracks major planning applications submitted to Cheshire West and Chester — the local planning authority covering Chester. This covers the wider Cheshire West and Chester authority area — including Northwich, Winsford and Tarporley — not just Chester itself, so some applications shown may relate to those nearby areas rather than Chester itself; the full address is always shown on each entry below. Applications cover developments of 10 or more homes, or 1,000 sqm or more of commercial floorspace, as defined by national planning policy. Minor applications such as house extensions and loft conversions are not shown. Data is sourced from Cheshire West and Chester's planning portal via the PlanIt national aggregator and updated regularly.
