📢 NEW DEADLINE TO OBJECT: 7 NOVEMBER 2026
With so many complications with this site, Jones Homes have had to submit yet more amended documents for their proposed 88-home development at Butterfly Bank.
So we now have a new deadline to give us time to assess the changes and object. The more amended plans we see, the more questions they raise.
🚗 And today, let's talk about the traffic!
A quiet residential cul-de-sac is to become the main access for 88 homes, potentially another 176 cars, with even more if Phase 2 goes ahead.
🚧 Yet Jones Homes want to narrow the road from 7.3m to 5.5m!
And it's not just residents' cars. All construction traffic, deliveries, refuse collections, emergency vehicles and servicing of the proposed sewage pumping station need to use this access too.
📣 Please object! Every objection matters, and the more questions these plans raise, the more important it is that residents have their say.

Wilmslow Town Council's Planning Committee will be discussing the proposed Jones Home 88-home development at Stockton Farm / Butterfly Bank tonight.

📍 Wilmslow Parish Hall, Cliff Rd, Wilmslow SK9 4AA

Last year, residents turned out to demonstrate the strength of opposition to this development. We need that same show of support tonight.

🌳 Our countryside, Green Belt, wildlife and the future of this important green space are at stake.

PLEASE COME ALONG IF YOU CAN.

🏠 Local residents and businesses are already living with the consequences of flooding. We've seen roads closed, homes flooded and serious disruption across the Whitehall Brook catchment.

🏗️ Now Jones Homes wants to build 88 more houses on green fields that form part of this already flood-prone catchment.

💧 More roofs, roads and hard surfaces mean more surface water to manage. With a history of serious flooding, can the proposed drainage system cope when Whitehall Brook is already overflowing?

⚠️ The consequences of getting this wrong could fall on existing residents and businesses, not the developer.

🌳 These fields are part of our natural landscape. We should be questioning whether adding more development and engineered drainage to this sensitive area is appropriate.

⚠️ JONES HOMES: 88 HOMES PROPOSED AT BUTTERFLY BANK
📅 Object by 19 October 2026

🌳 GREEN BELT. NOT GREY BELT.
This is open countryside between the built-up areas of Wilmslow and Alderley Edge.
🏘️ CHECKING URBAN SPRAWL
Green Belt exists, in part, to stop large built-up areas spreading further into open countryside.
🌿 OPEN & UNDEVELOPED
Calling land “grey belt” does not automatically make it so. The test is how strongly the land performs the purposes of Green Belt.
➡️ PUSHING THE URBAN EDGE OUT
88 homes would extend development further into currently open countryside.

🚨 WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT - REVISED PLANS EXPECTED 🚨

📍 The proposed development on Green Belt land at the edge of Wilmslow has already faced serious objections.

🚩 The Environment Agency and Cheshire East’s Lead Local Flood Authority rejected the submitted plans due to an inadequate Flood Risk Assessment. That is a major red flag.

🌧️ Residents’ homes and local businesses have already experienced flooding — real people dealing with real damage, disruption and fear every time heavy rain hits.

📑 Our independent consultants — who we intend to instruct again — also identified multiple additional areas of concern within the proposal, strengthening the case against it.

⏳ We are now told revised plans are likely to be submitted imminently, with the committee date unchanged. That leaves very little time to respond.

💰 Developers can spend large sums on technical reports to persuade planners. As a community, the only way we can properly challenge those claims is by funding independent expert review.

🔎 We have launched a new GoFundMe campaign to help cover the cost of scrutinising the revised plans — particularly to ensure they do not increase flood risk to neighbouring homes and businesses.

🙏 If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing the link.

💚 Once Green Belt land is built on, it’s gone forever. 💚https://www.gofundme.com/f/protect-butterfly-bank-help-fund-review-of-revised-plans?
