Local Plan is not sound. Over estimates population growth and therefore housing numbers. Level of affordable housing is too low. Brownfield sites should be prioritised, including in the town centre, reducing the need to commute by car. No justification for Green Belt release with a particular focus on South Warrington. Information regarding infrastructure is limited, roads are congested and air quality is poor. local facilities and services are already overstretched. the plan will destroy landscape character and would result in loss of natural habitats.
