Green Belt proposals contradict purpose of Green Belt and declared climate emergency. Brownfield should be developed first. Weakness in Green Belt assessment - much of the land to be released is productive. Loss of Green Belt will have huge environmental and ecological impact - increases air pollution, flood risk and car dependency. Green Belt has been undervalued. No exceptional circumstances. Green Belt is essential for health and wellbeing of residents. Boundary only confirmed 7 years ago - diminishes trust in plans.

Six56 development will exacerbate existing congestion/air pollution issues.

No infrastructure improvements to support proposed development - no details on how existing infrastructure will cope. Housing developments in South Warrington will increase reliance on road traffic - inconsistent with climate change plans. Growth predictions in plan are unrealistic and based on development rates that have not been achieved before. More focus needed on town centre regeneration and improving transport links. Plan does not represent wishes of South Warrington residents.

Plan proposes higher no. of houses than have ever been built previously, recent calculations suggest a lesser no is required. Not justified. Plan is unsound as only 30% affordable housing is proposed - does not address needs of area.

Site is high quality agricultural land and previously given Special Landscape Character Status - should be protected. Ecology of area is significant and should be protected. Development would increase existing flood risk issue in area. Possible access to site would pose safety concerns. Questions why area should be removed from Green Belt. Area should be preserved for wellbeing benefits for residents.
