I am fairly sure its legally compliant but doesn?t follow the current Government guidance/advice on the use of ALL brownfield sites ahead green field sites. There are plenty of brownfield sites in Warrington and particularly the town center that should be developed ahead of using green field sites. No justification for the scale of Green belt release in the plan. The plan does not show convincingly what 'exceptional circumstances' are for the development in the green belt.
There is no proper justification for the predicted growth. The housing numbers are unrealistic.
There is no explanation of how the already poor transport infrastructure of south Warrington can/could cope with increased traffic. The roads are already majorly congested and when there is a problem of one of the motorways the whole road network grinds to a halt. With this plan it would be impossible to travel across/round Warrington. The increased traffic will harm the air quality and local ecology.
