The Local Plan is not sound
The development proposals would have a catastrophic impact on Warrington's environment, it directly contradicts the Councils own Climate Emergency Plan. There will be a massive loss of biodiversity due to building on greenbelt. The character of villages and landscape will be destroyed as the green spaces that separate them are built on. Warrington already has poor air quality due to volume of cars and freight on the roads, the expansion of logistics centres along the motorway corridor will exacerbate this further. The plan will lead to an increase reliance on road network this will add to the chronic congestion as the infrastructure is not fit for purpose and alternatives such as rail, light rail, cycling and walking have not been given priority
