Why you consider the Draft Local Plan is not legally compliant or is unsound or fails to comply with the duty to co-operate

It fails to address the issue of climate emergency. The transport plans are vague and proposals will only encourage greater motet vehicle journeys.
It is in defiance of green belt policy. Once the green spaces are built on they are lost forever and there are plenty of brown field sites which should be developed first

Modification if applicable

A sound plan would delay any greenbelt release until at least the first five years of the plan were completed at which time when the plan is reviewed The significant changes to lifestyles and work patterns caused by Brexit, Covid, and the climate emergency as well as the most up-to-date ONS data may well confirm that no greenbelt release is required to support the growth of Warrington.
A sound plan would preserve the greenbelt when there is so much uncertainty regarding the real future demand for housing in the towns and cities of England.
