Weston is a village (at SJ730522) and former civil parish, now in the parish of Weston and Crewe Green,[1] in the unitary authority area of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. The village lies 3 miles to the south east of Crewe. The parish also includes the small settlements of Carters Green, Gorstyhill, Rose Hill, Snape, Stowford and part of Englesea Brook,[2] as well as the new settlements of Wychwood Park and Wychwood Village. Plans in 2015 to develop a golf course surrounding Wychwood Village for residential housing have been opposed by some residents.[3] The plans were refused planning permission by Cheshire East Council; the developer was later unsuccessful in an appeal to the Secretary of State and the council's refusal was upheld.[4] Nearby villages include Basford, Hough and Shavington. In 2011 the parish had a population of 1,855.
