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

These policies listed are basically the plans from Satnam for Peel Hall that have previously been submitted for planning and rejected on several occasions in the past. Nothing has changed since those plans were rejected, it is impossible to build a suitable road network in the area to support 1200 new homes, there are too many pinch points in Fearnhead for this. In addition, the environmental aspects are significant in these areas. There are equivalent green field sites with better potential transport links than the Peel Hall site. There must also be brownfield sites that could be developed to provide the required housing.

Modification if applicable

I would consider the removal of policy MD4-Peel Hall from the plan in its entirety on the basis that the private investment plan already submitted and rejected by Warrington Borough Council has just been duplicated in the plan. Peel Hall should be given green belt protection within the plan, not a green field development opportunity.

Paragraph/policy sub

10.4, MD4.1 and MD4.2
