Sustainability ; Health deprivation ; no plan to to provide a new primary care facility for this development , increase pressure on surrounding facilities , no new community centre / sports facility . Obesity rising ; removing land severely restricts options for outdoor exercise . Dependency on and congestion from cars increases already high air pollution linked to premature death ; recent court case [ asthma ] , dementia . strokes and heart attacks. Green infrastructure should be protected and enhanced ; rural land being developed. Shortage of affordable housing ; proposed development will not mitigate this. Need to protect grade 2 and 3 a agricultural land ; this is being developed.Nature conservation and wider green infrastructure needs to be protected , enhanced and made more resilient ; the opposite would occur.
Soundness ; unmet need from other boroughs or Warrington s un met need taken up by other boroughs not thoroughly explored.New home owners would be commuting for work , not working within Warrington Borough.
