The Plan should address future needs for decarbonised freight transport and logistics by siting major warehousing and distribution developments at rail-connected sites, or those which can be rail-connected at reasonable cost. Locating such developments at sites which can only be served by road is unsound and does not comply with Government objectives to decarbonise transport. There is no viable option for trunk haulage by HGV in a decarbonised manner - modal switch to electric rail is the future for trunk haulage, with short-range battery trucks for local/regional distribution from regional hubs. In the North West, the key hubs need to be located in the Warrington/Wigan area. The proposed distribution complex close to the M6/M56 junction is completely unsustainable, since it cannot be rail-connected and would be reliant on road transport for all movements. Port Warrington is an ideal site for a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI) and should be reinstated to the Local Plan. The brownfield Fiddlers Ferry power station site offers an alternative which is operationally less efficient, since it involves at least one train reversal at Arpley (two for trains arriving from the North or East), but has good on-site rail facilities and ample flat land for the construction of warehouses and an intermodal terminal.
