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 promote sustainable transport?

Providing reliable and efficient transport networks is fundamental to supporting economic growth, improving access to jobs and key services, enhancing the local environment and improving quality of life.

Road transport makes up 19% of Cheshire West’s CO2 emissions each year. We want Cheshire West to become carbon neutral by 2045 or earlier. Reducing the number of trips that we make, while supporting more sustainable transport and breaking the cycle of car dependence, will be important for tackling the climate emergency.

We want to know what you think the Local Plan could do to meet the key challenges of promoting sustainable travel in the future.
