On behalf of our client’s we are in support of all three options put forward by the Council for site KEL01, which focuses future housing and employment development outside of the Green Belt, around existing settlements and along transport corridors. It is clear the Council consider the land at Green Lane Farm to be sustainable and a suitable area to expand the village, as it: • Lies immediately adjacent to the settlement boundary for Kesall; • Is an easy walk to the village centre where there are regular services to Northwich and Chester and other large key settlements in between; • Forms a logical and cohesive extension of the village; • Presents no environmental, landscape, or technical constraints; • Supports the delivery of housing in line with national policy and the Council’s spatial strategy; • Is available and deliverable. The sale of the land to a developer is currently being handled by Savills.

For Kelsall, the consultation identifies land south and west of the village (KEL01) as a potential housing location. Our client’s land lies within area KEL01. We support all options for growth being promoted by the Council as it reduces the need to release green belt land, encourages development within and around key settlements and along transport corridors and reduces pressure on larger towns. The land is sustainabuly located and is available, deliverable, and aligns with national policy and the Council’s spatial strategy.
