Proposals to create a major children's woodland attraction in Cheshire that is expected to attract about 300,000 visitors per year are on the verge of securing the green light.
A full planning application to transform a 76.6-acre site to the west of the A49 near Bickley Town into a new leisure destination (pictured above) is due to be considered by Cheshire West & Chester Council's planning committee on Tuesday, 7 March 2017. The BeWILDerwood at Bickley scheme would feature treehouses, outdoor play structures, a lake for boat rides and several accompanying buildings.
BeWILDerwood at Bickley would be aimed at children between two and 12 years old and open for a maximum of 260 days per year, between the months of February and October. The development would feature a permanent car park for 500 vehicles as well as overspill parking on a neighbouring field for a further 850 vehicles.
It is envisaged that BeWILDerwood at Bickley would create approximately 25 full-time and 155 part-time/seasonal jobs.
