Clearly Warrington has to provide land for future housing developments however the revised plan is very detrimental to the existing villages in the southern part of the town.

Whilst you say you have reduced the amount of Green Belt to be used in the revised version this does not hide the fact that you are still using significant amounts of the Green Belt. The Green Belt was and always should be the very last option for development. Sadly this rule gets broken again and again.

I suspect that more use of brownfield land is not proposed due to additional costs but that should not be at the expense of greenfield land.

In particular the Thelwall Heys proposed development (which was not even mentioned in the previous version of the plan) would see a substantial loss of greenfield land, and a major increase to road traffic which, given past experience, would not be matched with improvements to local infrastructure or roads. In addition there is a statement that this area is only a weak contributor to the Green Belt. I have no idea what that means!!

A development in this area has previously been rejected so why has this been re-instated now?
