Overestimates housing need.

Lack of evidence to support anticipated no. of new jobs created. No plans for more diverse employment opportunities outside of distribution warehousing.

Green Belt release not justified, plan not demonstrated exceptional circumstances and does not maintain permanence of Green Belt. Loss of Green Belt will damage character and local distinctiveness. Green Belt Assessment fails to assess value as a whole. Negative impact on quality of life.

Scale of new infrastructure and distributor roads not necessary as plans for housing need/commercial development also excessive. Plan promotes excessive growth without certainty/viability of key infrastructure to support it. New road networks will increase traffic congestion and urban sprawl. Costs for new infrastructure underestimated - plan undeliverable. Infrastructure must be in place before new housing developments.

Does not demonstrate how new community infrastructure will be delivered. Proposals do not take into account need for new hospital. Community facilities need to be in place before further developments delivered.

Policy does not offer protection to valuable places and their distinct character.

Man-made alternatives will not sufficiently replace green spaces lost as a result of development. South Warrington - access to green space significantly reduced. Damage to biodiversity.

Policy not robust enough, does not look at cumulative effect of individual schemes on the area.

Policy does not consider existing needs or implications of new development. Flooding already an issue.

Councils aims regarding air pollution are sound, although contradicted by policies proposed. Plan will increase light pollution/noise pollution.

Excessive housing numbers proposed. Green Belt removal not in line with national policy. Poor Quality of Green Belt assessment undertaken. Lack of provision for infrastructure/community facilities. Increase in pollution.
