The case has not been made for the growth that is driving the increased housing numbers in the Plan. The 2018 ONS data predicts significantly lower growth for the town.

The Green Belt boundaries were only confirmed 7 years ago. Releasing Green Belt immediately will divert investment from the regeneration of the town centre and the brownfield sites around the town.

Congestion and traffic is already a huge issue in Warrington with the existing numbers of people residing in the region. To build the numbers proposed without dramatic change to the infrastructure will simply lead to gridlock and will turn both people and business away from the area not encourage a flourishing and thriving local economy. The M6 is frequently a car park anyway and adding 4200 homes in the ?South East Warrington Urban Extension? with a likely extra approximately 10,000 cars is unlikely to improve the areas fluidity!

The Thelwall Heyes site will contribute to creating a continuous suburb merging a number of suburbs and settlements. The village lifestyle will be transformed and lost forever.

There is no change in planned infrastructure regarding the Thelwall Heys development for access for another 310 houses so likely approximately 5-600 more cars. This is likely to cause significant rises in congestion along all surrounding access roads which are already congested.

Warrington Hospital already finds itself at breaking point and would require significant extra funding to be able to accommodate such vast numbers of extra people in the region. Nothing has been mentioned regarding this in the new proposal. I also see no proposals for other additional public services such as schools.

Thelwall Heys provides much needed drainage to the surrounding areas. Weaste Lane is already regularly flooded in the areas near the canal and this would only worsen, potentially flooding Thelwall as well.

Air pollution is already poor in the area with such volumes of HGVs passing through and around Warrington but the development of such vast expanses of commercial warehouses is likely to dramatically worsen the situation.
