CREWE residents are being invited to comment again on the second part of Cheshire East Council's Local Plan ahead of its submission to a planning inspector.

Following feedback on the previous draft in late 2019, the Council's cabinet has now agreed changes to the site allocations and development policies document (SADPD) after taking on board a wide range of comments from the public.

This final draft is now available to view on the council's website and at public libraries. Owing to the current Covid-secure arrangements members of the public are asked to make an appointment in advance if they wish to view these documents at a library.

The SADPD sets out more detailed planning guidelines, aimed at ensuring new development is of a high quality and is well designed. Among the revisions made are:

  • Keeping green belt sites previously earmarked for development
  • Strengthened environmental standards for new development to tackle climate change

Cllr Toni Fox, Cheshire East Council Cabinet member for planning, said: "The site allocations policy document will have a central role in deciding planning applications and will therefore help to shape the quality of the places in which we live.

"I would urge residents to submit any further views they may have so they can be put before the planning inspector who will scrutinise the plan.

"The revisions we have made are a direct response to the comments we have received from residents."

The consultation is open for six weeks and closes at 5pm on December 7.

You can comment on the draft SADPD here.
