REFER to your article dated March 14, with regards to Tatton Estates Management announcing their collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University in a proposed development at Yarwood Heath Farm, near the M56 – A556 Bowdon roundabout.

TEM point out that the land around the farm has been used up for the new A556 bypass and that the buildings have not, nor have been, part of a working farm for many a year, and that they are in a bad state of dereliction.

Tatton Estates Management cite this land and surrounding area as ‘The Cheshire Gateway’ and I feel it is important to inform your readers that it is my understanding that this is greenbelt land.

I believe it was given this status by both Cheshire East Council and the planning inspector when developing the Town Plan.
