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 plan is unsound for 2 reasons :
1) Green Belt Land should be sacrosanct and neither Government or Local Authority should be able to use the Green Belt without ALL other alternative startegies being used first, see 2 below
2) Warrington has fantastic brown field site opportunities ripe for development not only because these sites are more easily served with the necessary infrastructure but also because it is a myth that the SEUE will provide affirdable housing, it will not. My daughter, age 25, was looking to move into affordable housing in the current developments in the SEUE area and was staggered to discover the cheapest properties started at ?260,000. The plan should be geared to providing housing for young people who desparately want to get onto the housing market not for affluent middle-aged people who are already established in the property market.

Modification if applicable

I am not a lawyer or have any experience in drafing local plans. I simply want my concerns above to taken on baord and the propsals for the developemnt of SEUE to be substantially curtailed.
