Why you consider the Draft Local Plan is not legally compliant or is unsound or fails to comply with the duty to co-operate

The representation that was first submitted on the very first occasion Glazebury as a whole wasn?t included in the plan in 2019, then due to covid 19 put on hold however, on the next to review to submit to the government again it appears that in hasn?t had any consideration on the next review leaving Glazebury short of affordable housing and we feel this falls under the duty to co-operate statement and the plan being sound. As been informed Glazebury wasn?t included in the plan yet part of Warrington Borough.

Modification if applicable

Allocate land at Three Acres Farm, Glazebury for residential development.

Summary of comments

Landowner promoting land at Three Acres Farm, Glazebury for GreenBelt release considers it should be designated through the Local Plan Review for housing to support the Glazebury community and growth which at the present time has very limited affordable housing. The site makes a weak contribution to Green Belt purposes in the Council?s Green Belt Assessment (2016), is in single ownership, is available for residential development and other than its Green Belt designation is not subject to any other constraints. Glazebury does not have an allocation in the Local Plan, however, all settlements can play a role in delivering sustainable development in rural areas and an allocation here will safeguard the vitality and vibrance of the settlement. Three Acres Farm is situated on the boundary of Warrington/Leigh in a highly sustainable location within walking distance to many facilities and schools. Many local amenities are situated within a short walk of the site and would provide a day to day services and facilities for the new residents of the site.
