This page tracks major planning applications submitted to Cheshire West and Chester — the local planning authority covering Ellesmere Port. This covers the wider Cheshire West and Chester authority area — including Chester, Northwich and Winsford — not just Ellesmere Port itself, so some applications shown may relate to those nearby areas rather than Ellesmere Port 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.
