PLANS for a village development where new residents would build their own homes have been turned down.
Crown Inn Farm in Crown Lane, Lower Peover, was earmarked for 12 new self-build homes in a proposal submitted by Beluga Consultants on behalf of the landowner.
The scheme would have seen prospective homeowners given a 'passport' with design rules before they could create their own unique homes from scratch on the site.
But Cheshire West and Chester Council has now rejected the scheme – insisting it would not be built in a sustainable location and raising concerns over the impact on bat habitats.
