How schemes in Crewe get decided.
One council for planning and highways
Cheshire East Council handles both the planning application and the highways response, so we talk to its highways team early and give the case officer a clear answer.
What shapes schemes in Crewe
A railway town with one of the busiest junctions on the West Coast Main Line, linked to the M6 by the A500 and growing on its southern and eastern edges. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A500, A530, A532 and A534, with the M6 to the east. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the M6, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Crewe?
Cheshire East Council is both the planning authority and the highway authority for local roads. National Highways is responsible for the M6.
Do you cover the area around Crewe?
Yes, including Newcastle-under-Lyme, Northwich and Stoke-on-Trent, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the M6 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
