RHOCheshire’s Dawn Ward Gets Planning Permission To Transform Her £14.5 Million Warford Hall Mansion Into A Luxury Spa Retreat!

Dawn Ward finally received planning permission to transform her £14.5 million mansion into a luxury spa retreat. The Real Housewives of Cheshire star will begin to work on Warford Hall, which will include an extension for a swimming pool complex and added guest rooms.

Councilors in Cheshire approve the project despite Dawn's neighbors saying that the proposals will be excessively noisy and result in traffic chaos.

“Change of use from dwelling house with B1 Business to C1 Spa Hotel and associated two-story rear extension and pool to accommodate high-quality guest facilities,” said the Cheshire East Council, courtesy via The Sun.

“In pursuance of its powers under the above Act, the Council hereby GRANTS planning permission for the above development in accordance with the application and accompanying plans submitted. The development hereby approved shall commence within three years of the date of this permission.”

The council said that the pools cannot be used before 7am and after 8pm on weekends and no amplified music was allowed outside in the gardens.

“Prior to first use of the approved Spa Hotel Retreat, a scheme of odor / noise control shall be submitted to and approved in writing Local Planning Authority.”

“The scheme shall include details of the filtration and extraction system to control the discharge of odors and fumes arising from food handling, preparation and cooking. Reason: To protect nearby residents from undue noise and disturbance (including fumes, odors and vibration) that would cause demonstrable harm to residential amenity.”

The spa will include a heated swimming pool, massage and therapy facilities, and hotel accommodation for 30 people. It currently includes a games room, playrooms, a cinema room, a bar, and a sunroom.

Speaking of their development plans, planning agents Arista Design Ltd said in documents: “Warford Hall would remain as a building of the highest calibre, benefiting from a significant upgrade and investment in landscaping creating stunning grounds.”

“The proposal is to change the use of Warford hall from a dwelling with ancillary offices to a luxury, boutique spa retreat. There would be overnight guest accommodation made available in association with this use.”

“The Hall and associated outbuildings will be refurbished and extended to provide a total of 16 bedrooms and a new spa facility will form part of the new extension works, which is similar in scale to the extension,” said in documents courtesy via The Sun.
