Please find the comments from Neston Town Council for the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan issues and options (Regulation 18) consultation. Comments relate to Section 11 – Neston & Parkgate and Section, as well as the Option A, B and C Site maps from Section 5 Spatial Strategy (Map 5.1, Map 5.2, Map 5.3). Map 5.14 (Neston & Parkgate Growth Options), Questions SS53, SS54 and SS55. Formal response to the CWaC Local Plan Consultation (Issues and Options): “In principle, Neston Town Council agrees that development is necessary, angled strongly towards a high percentage of affordable and social housing. Infrastructure needs to be increased and improved for this to happen. In the first instance, there needs to be a focus on derelict and unused sites. Neston will look chiefly at areas of significant green belt which needs to be retained for recreation. Any land identified as brown belt is to be developed first, followed by grey belt. Neston Town Council considers that NEP02 would be suitable for some mixed-use development as well as NEPO3 for potential sites. Neston Town Council does not consider that NEP01, NEP04, NEP05 or NEP06 are suitable for any development. Constraints for any developments would need to include new schools. Any further development would require a new water treatment centre and sewerage system upgrades. Appropriate upgrades of all essential services and improvements to public transport are a must. Neston Town Council considers that a blend of a healthy amount of all options would be most suitable, whilst retaining as much of the green belt as possible from Option ‘A’ with not as many houses as suggested in Option ‘C’. The Town Council notes that increased development in the area could have a big impact on wildlife and wishes to preserve the town’s sanctuary for wildlife and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Neston Town Council is mindful that there needs to be a balance of nature with its significant impact on tourism and businesses.” It was RESOLVED: To submit the above formal response in full to Cheshire West & Chester’s Local Plan Consultation.
