I'm writing to make my objection known re: the above planning for Hough Lane Anderton, Northwich. The area proposed is on green belt land I believe  this is SS11, and the infrastructure isn't suitable for the number of houses that they are planning.  In view of this I would like my objections noted.

I wish to place my objections due to Green Belt of the above proposed planning applications to Anderton NOR01 on the proposed plan. None of the people living in Anderton have been informed regarding this, apart from being told some houses being built on the fields running up Hough Lane no mention was made regarding the rest of the Green Belt area covering all the other fields that back on to New Road The fields at the back of us (New Road) are still being used for crop growing and have been since I came to live here 16 years ago. This is green belt and would have a huge impact on the villagers and wildlife, the hundreds of different birds, foxes and badgers, the bridge at Barnton cannot take what traffic there is already going over it and this would also have a mega impact of the traffic along New Road, certainly not a "Sustainable transport corridor" [further email 30/8/25] KEEP THE GREEN BELT option A

If forced to choose just one option, Option B would seem the most appropriate and realistic as it represents a continuation of a sensible and realistic existing strategy.  However, I am not convinced that Option B should be adopted as it stands. A combination of Option B with elements of Option C would be my preference.  All settlements should be examined for their potential to accept varying amounts of new development, as I consider that the settlement hierarchy is overly rigid. For example, there are some large villages (take as Waverton as an example) which have a reasonable level of service provision but which are not mentioned in the hierarchy.  Some smaller settlements could benefit from infill and well designed edge development to provide for local needs, particularly if affordable housing is prioritised. Settlements outside the Green Belt should not have rigid, defined development boundaries. 

Option B - Follow current Local Plan level and distribution of development

I was recently made aware of the proposed housing expansion plan in the Northwich area (Policy SS11) through a friend who'd seen it on Facebook! That in itself I find very troubling, I can't help feel the lack of transparency with such a significant proposal was intentional. At the very least, a direct communication should have been sent to residents in this area, many of which are not avid facebook users!  With regard to the options presented, I strongly support Option A , which is to preserve the existing Green Belt land . There are thousands of reasons I believe this development should not proceed:   Protection of Wildlife The proposed site provides vital habitat for a wide range of species, including bats, badgers, hedgehogs, and many bird species inc birds of prey. Green Belt land plays an essential role in maintaining biodiversity, and further encroachment by housing development would have a devastating effect on already pressured wildlife populations.   Flooding Many over developed areas suffer with floods, this is particularly concerning for us as we’re towards the bottom of a hill, currently the fields behind our property drain the would-be flood water away through the soil. Fill the fields with footings, yards, roads & driveways & I get very concerned. The landslide caused by heavy rain a couple of years back into the canal still hasn’t been fixed. The road collapse on soot hill further demonstration of the pressure the area is already under & the recurring sink hole in one of the fields behind should be cause for further concern.   Infrastructure Constraints Local transport infrastructure is already under severe strain. The Winnington Swing Bridge in particular is heavily congested, and adding thousands more vehicles would exacerbate the problem significantly. In addition, approval has already been granted for 1,200 homes at the former Winnington Tata site. The cumulative impact of both developments would (at best) overwhelm the area. Due to road congestion, the school bus can't even get the kids to school on time these days.   Pressure on Local Services School places – all the local schools are oversubscribed, village schools over extended, traffic so bad the roads are disintegrating & kids in grave danger of being run over (not helped by the complete removal of crossing patrol officers in the area) Residents of Barnton and Anderton already face long waits to access GP, worse still for dental services. An additional 1,700 households would place unsustainable pressure on healthcare provision, reducing the quality / availability of services for existing residents even further. Additional Industrial Traffic On top of housing pressures, we understand that hundreds of heavy lorries are expected in connection with the new government-approved Tata solar panel scheme. This additional burden will further damage roads, increase noise and pollution, and worsen traffic congestion. In summary, the proposed housing development would cause: Irreparable damage to local wildlife, protected species and the local environment Severe traffic congestion, infrastructure & pollution issues Unmanageable strain on local services A reduction in the overall quality of life for existing residents For these reasons, I strongly oppose the proposed housing development on Green Belt land and urge the Council to protect this area in line with Option A .

3 people in our house are proposing option B, we would rather no more houses to be honest as Winsford is far to overloaded as it is with people and no facility’s such as doctors, dentists, schools, cinema, restaurants, transport, the roads are congested  and the roads hole town looks a mess, saddens me to say but it’s the worst I’ve seen it in my 50+ years here and my mother of 80+ years, everything’s been taken away, marina cafe for example, cinema, bingo hall, golf course, nice walking areas, taking away Rilshaw is criminal not just for humans but also the wildlife, what was once a beautiful place is now just a massive house estate that never reaps any benefits, we don’t even have a bus to Chester yet Northwich can get the train and bus and they also have direct trainline to Manchester, it’s a town crammed with people with no facility’s please don’t turn it into an even more depressing state. Shame you couldn’t send this information on planning to each house as there’s plenty of people unaware of what is going on in this town.

In terms of the proposed housing expansion plan in the whole Northwich area and question SS11. I strongly prefer option A Which is to preserve the existing green belt area Wildlife is under huge pressure from humans and many birds and animals rely on them.I also oppose the building on the green belt around the Barnton and Anderton area for other reasons - the transport infrestructure cannot take any more road traffic across the already overloaded Winnington swing bridge the new Winnington estate built in the last 10 years,plus planning permission granted for a further 1200 new homes at the Winnington TATA site, plus hundreds of  lorries expected from delivering land fill to the new TATA solar panel government approved scheme, it is also almost impossible to see a doctor or dentist if you live in Barnton or Anderton because of the increase ln house builds in Winnington.

I am writing to express my deepest concern and objections to greenbelt land being considered for residential development in Neston & Parkgate. How many brown belt options have been researched? or derestricted  areas near larger towns on Wirral with better infrastructures to cope with an expanding population? A small town with limited transport services and facilities for locals is very short sighted. Surely greenbelt by definition should not be touched???    I am answering *Question SS11* and my choice is:-   * Option A - * Retain the Green Belt*
