<div><strong>BLOOR APPEAL UPDATE – WE ARE NOW RAISING FUNDS</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following the refusal of planning application 25/0211/OUT by Cheshire East Council's Strategic Planning Board on 19th November 2025, Bloor have now formally submitted an appeal, dated 15th January 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To respond effectively, we now urgently need to raise funds to cover appropriate legal representation. Expert planning and legal support is essential if we are to robustly challenge the appeal, protect the original refusal, and ensure the voices of local residents continue to be heard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The appeal process is complex and costly, but it is a critical stage. Without strong legal backing, our ability to oppose this development is significantly reduced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the amount, will directly support the fight against overdevelopment and help us stand up for our community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can make a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Help Us Protect Our Community from Unsustainable Development</strong>
</div>
<div>We are a united group of local residents standing together to protect Sandbach Heath and the surrounding areas from development by Bloor Homes, who have submitted a speculative and inappropriate planning application (<strong>25/0211/OUT</strong>) that threatens our green spaces, infrastructure, and way of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We want to protect this from overwhelming our community</strong> and protect our town from this large-scale proposal that ignores local planning policies, stretches our public services, and <strong>would cause irreversible harm to our environment and community character</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This proposal includes hundreds of new homes on greenfield land - with infrastructure we believe is unsafe, unsustainable, and legally flawed. Most recently, Bloor have added a new access route as a material change, yet are trying to bypass proper planning process by disguising it as a minor amendment. Planning law is clear: this change should require a new application and fresh consultation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe this development:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Ignores our local plan and neighbourhood policies
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Threatens vital green spaces and wildlife habitats
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Will overload our roads, schools, drainage systems, and NHS
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Was prepared with errors, inconsistencies, and misleading data
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Fundraising</strong>
</div>
<div>To effectively challenge Bloor Homes' speculative approach, we need funds to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Engage independent planning experts and legal professionals
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Commission reports on traffic, flood risk, and ecology
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Print campaign materials and reach more residents
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ensure our case is taken seriously by the planning authority
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fighting these applications properly means speaking the same technical language as the developers - and unfortunately, that costs money. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to a fair, transparent outcome that reflects the voice of the community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have determination - and with your help, we’ll have the resources too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Donate what you can </strong>- every contribution counts, even £5 or £10 makes a real difference
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Share this page widely</strong> - neighbours, friends, social media
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Support a fair and democratic planning process for Sandbach</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help us send a message: <strong>our town is not for sale</strong>. Planning must be led by policy and people - not profit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This Is Bigger Than Just One Site
</div>
<div>If developers can rewrite the rules mid-application without challenge, it sets a dangerous precedent. We’re not anti-development - but we demand it be lawful, sustainable, and community-led.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is our town. Let's protect it - together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.
</div>
