In South Warrington where I live, an overall new build of this size (4,200 homes) will destroy the landscape and rural character of South Warrington villages. There are no exceptional circumstances to build on Green Belt land and therefore the Council should continue to investigate additional brownfield development opportunities. Road infrastructure- we already have congestion and resultant AQ problems without increasing road traffic congestion further due to extra housing and car traffic.GP surgeries are already inadequate and Local School close to their maximum capacity . - We need to introduce measures to mitigate pollution, reduce our Carbon footprint, and comply with overall global warming reduction plans which were introduced and will be extended further and upgraded after Glasgow?s COP26. More C fuelled traffic and reducing green space will harm our local environment including destroying wildlife corridors. I do like the idea of a mass transport system from S Warrington but how to deliver with limited bridge crossings in our area. Where?s the network plan and how to deliver especially with suitable canal crossing points?
