Officer Report to Committee - Cheshire East Council“Following its review of the proposals, including the HPC Care Home Needs Assessment and clarifications provided by the applicant, Adult Services raise no objection to the development. ”
HPC is pleased to announce that outline planning permission has been approved by Cheshire East Council’s Strategic Planning Board for the development of a new 80-bedroom care home on land off Peter De Stapleigh Way, Stapeley, Nantwich.
The care home, forming part of the wider Maylands Park mixed-use development, will deliver much-needed care accommodation for older people, including specialist nursing and dementia care. It is designed to integrate with adjacent schemes including the approved 40-unit Anwyl residential development and McCarthy & Stone’s 49-unit retirement living scheme.
While the site technically falls within open countryside beyond the settlement boundary, the Council acknowledged the scheme’s alignment with local and national planning objectives – particularly the emphasis in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) on meeting the needs of older people – and determined that the overall social, economic and environmental benefits of the development significantly outweigh any policy conflicts.
Planning was granted on 23rd July 2025.
