The Local Plan Conversation engagement exercise has now closed
Thank you to everyone who took part. A copy of the feedback report, comments on existing Local Plan policies and suggestions of sites and locations for new development and land that is important to protect, are available here. There were a number of comments that did not relate to the Local Plan but to issues dealt with by other Council departments. Where possible all these other comments have been passed to the relevant services.
The findings of this engagement were discussed by the Council’s Cabinet on 20 April 2022. Information about the meeting is available here.
Your feedback supported this discussion at Cabinet, where it was agreed that the Council commits to an update of the Local Plan (Part One) and commences initial work, including evidence gathering in advance of this, and establishes a cross-party Member Working Group. A report setting out the scope and timetable will be approved at a future Cabinet meeting.
What could the Local Plan do to protect and enhance the natural and built environment?
Our fantastic environment makes Cheshire West a special place to live in and visit. Less than 20% of Cheshire West is built up and our highly valued landscapes, protected species and habitats, and network of green spaces are sensitive to the impacts of development. Tree planting makes places more attractive and helps to mitigate the rate of climate change through absorbing CO2.
With around 2,500 listed buildings and 97 conservation areas, our historic buildings and places contribute towards the character and distinctiveness of the area. Protecting the landscapes and townscapes that make Cheshire West special, and creating well-designed buildings that adapt to climate change is important.
We want to know what you think the Local Plan could do to meet the key challenges of protecting and enhancing the natural and built environment in the future.
