As eluded to, I think there are options which may support the growth of smaller hamlets into more sustainable villages and provide better public transport connectivity than existing development options on the fringes of towns.

Brownfield sites, repurposing delelict and disregarded land as well as infill should be a greater priority than edge of settlement or outside of settlement sites.

There should be greater focus towards developing the northern sides of Northwich, as well as some smaller villages which are directly connected to railway stations (Mouldsworth, Delemere) vs indirect connections in locations like Davenham.   I do support that there ought to be greater focus on developments in Winsford to provide 10,000+ houses, but this should be considered a greater focus than the Southern reaches of Northwich. Equally, Ellesmere Port and Chester ought to see more focus compared to locations like Helsby and Frodsham.

Unlike Option A, Option B focuses more weight towards the south of Northwich compared to Winsford, which is better served with existing infrasture provisions compared to Davenham and Moulton. There should still be greater focus towards developing the northern sides of Northwich, as well as some smaller villages which are directly connected to railway stations (Mouldsworth, Delemere) vs indirect connections in locations like Davenham. I do support that there ought to be greater focus on developments in Winsford to provide 10,000+ houses, but this should be considered a greater focus than the Southern reaches of Northwich. Equally, Ellesmere Port and Chester ought to see more focus compared to locations like Helsby and Frodsham. Farndon, Tarporley, Cuddington and Sandiway are being punished for being more rural and the distribution of new housing is disproportiante both to need and location, where many northern areas are unaffected.

Option C focuses on a good principle of transport connections. Nonetheless, I feel it does not take into account the additional infrastructure requirements needed for better connectivity (parking and accomodation at the existing stations, which are not sufficient for existing service levels, let alone growth). This still focuses more weight towards the south of Northwich compared to Winsford, which is better served with existing infrasture provisions compared to Davenham and Moulton. There should still be greater focus towards developing the northern sides of Northwich, as well as some smaller villages which are directly connected to railway stations (Mouldsworth, Delemere) vs indirect connections in locations like Davenham. I do support that there ought to be greater focus on developments in Winsford to provide 10,000+ houses, but this should be considered a greater focus than the Southern reaches of Northwich. Equally, Ellesmere Port and Chester ought to see more focus compared to locations like Helsby and Frodsham. Farndon, Tarporley, Cuddington and Sandiway are being punished for being more rural and the distribution of new housing is disproportiante both to need and location, where many northern areas are unaffected. Nonetheless, this does more equitably assign housing in a fairer manner.

These are reasonable.
