All feedback is being analysed and will help shape the final Contaminated Land Strategy. An update will be provided to Places Scrutiny in April 2026, recommending that a Scrutiny Focus Group review the draft strategy alongside the consultation feedback.
The final draft strategy will be taken to Cabinet in July 2026, accompanied by a summary of the consultation findings, which will also be published here at that time. Information about these meetings is available on the Council website:
Cheshire West and Chester Council is carrying out a public consultation to understand the views of residents, businesses, partners and wider stakeholders on our new draft Contaminated Land Strategy.
This strategy formally sets out the Council’s approach to inspecting and managing land affected by contamination in Cheshire West and Chester, to improve the environment and protect the public from land contamination risks.
The Council’s approach to inspecting and managing land contamination is largely guided by national regulations. In addition to these statutory requirements, this draft Strategy sets out the Council’s objectives and outlines our local approach to land inspection.
