Green Belt in SEWUE currently prevents merging of distinct villages - land should remain in Green Belt for this reason. Policy not sound. Green Belt release contradicts declared climate and environmental emergency.
Town centre needs regeneration - residential development should be focused in town centre to prevent more car reliant housing. Does not meet needs of area.
Already too much development in South Warrington without sufficient infrastructure in place. Plan does not sufficiently address shortage of affordable housing. Plan is unsound as it proposes the wrong houses in the wrong place and does not recognise existing congestion issues.
Potential for land at Fiddlers Ferry to be solely residential has not been considered. Area already has rail links, unlike the site of the SEWUE and the other Green Belt sites earmarked for housing.

Case for Western Link is unsound - previously claimed that the Western Link was required for the Peel Port development, which has now been scrapped. It will increase congestion as motorists try to avoid the toll bridges.
No justification for release of Green Belt for employment/economic use. Previous plan secured employment land beyond the end of the plan period to 2035, as large amounts of land were released at Omega. This plan seeks to use the unprecedented release of land at Omega to falsely raise the annual requirement. SEWEA has no sustainable transport network and would increase congestion/pollution in area.

Housing target not justified or deliverable. Using 2018 ONS data - an achievable target is obtained, suggesting that brownfield land alone could supply housing for two decades.
