Option A – Retain the Green Belt. I strongly urge the Council to uphold the purpose of Green Belt designation, prioritise brownfield and genuinely sustainable development opportunities, and ensure alignment with both local policy and the NPPF. Protecting the Green Belt is not only about safeguarding policy principles but also about preserving community wellbeing and environmental sustainability for future generations.

I have seen the widely shared schematic plan of the proposals which I assume accompanies the consultation document and wish to object to the swallowing up of yet more Cheshire green belt to housing. These sites are an easy target and what has already occurred in Northwich will be repeated. I refer to the lack of road improvements as promised along with all the other supporting infrastructure promised but never delivered. I wish to answer the question within the consultation document SS11 Option A. Retain the Green Belt.

I strongly support Option A – Retain the Green Belt. This is the only option that genuinely safeguards our countryside and preserves the unique character of our local area. My reasons are as follows: - Protection of countryside and wildlife: The Green Belt provides essential habitats for a wide range of wildlife species and acts as a natural buffer against overdevelopment. Losing this would cause irreversible environmental harm. - Support for farmers: Agricultural land within the Green Belt underpins the local economy and our food security. Once lost to development, it cannot be replaced. - Inadequate road infrastructure near Barnton: The current road network is already under significant pressure, particularly at peak times, and worse since Winnington developments. Additional housing would worsen congestion and road safety concerns. The swing bridge is intolerable to cross due to traffic. - Strain on public services: Local schools and doctors’ surgeries are already at or near capacity. Increased population from large-scale development would place unacceptable strain on these essential services. - Traffic into Northwich town centre: Congestion is already a major issue, particularly during rush hours. Further development would exacerbate this and impact air quality. - Existing public transport is limited: the nearest train station is not easily accessible for many residents. Infrastructure and services would not be able to absorb the significant extra demand without major investment, which is not currently planned. In summary, I urge the council to adopt Option A in full, and to reject proposals that would remove land from the Green Belt or promote unsustainable housing developments in and around Barnton.

Answer – Option A – Retain the Green Belt There are many reasons to retain the green belt, and I have highlighted below the main points in support of this option. Environmental protection Biodiversity – green belts provide habitats for wildlife, protects eco systems and supports pollinators which are essential for food growth and production Mitigating climate change – Trees and soil store carbon which helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions Maintaining air quality – vegetation filters pollutants lowering pollution levels in surrounding urban areas Flood Prevention – Green spaces absorb rainwater and reduce flood risks far more efficiently than built surfaces Urban Planning Benefits Green belts prevent uncontrolled expansion of towns and cities and mitigates “sprawl” Efficient Land Use – Redevelopment of underused urban land can achieve more long-term gains for a community than consuming countryside Green belt protects the identity of towns and villages stopping them merging into one continuous urban mass with poorly funded infrastructure Health and Well Being Access to nature provides residents with green space for walking, cycling and recreation Mental Health – Proximity to natural environments reduces stress and improves mental well being Public Health – Cleaner air, less noise, pollution, and opportunities for an active lifestyle reduces health inequalities Food and Agriculture Local Farming protects farmland for food production close to cities and reducing reliance on long supply chains Allotments and Community growing encourages food security and resilience Economic and Social Value Tourism and Leisure – attractive landscapes support local economies through recreation and tourism Property values – Homes near green belt land often retain higher values due to the quality of the environment Long term sustainability – Short-term housing gains from building on green belts undermine long term ecological, social, and economic sustainability

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed large-scale development on Green Belt land in and around Neston and Parkgate. I am answering *Question SS 11* and my choice is: *Option A – Retain the Green Belt* I also fail to see why this area would need the amount of proposed houses and there would need to be huge improvements in the infrastructure, doctors, hospitals, schools etc to cope. Also the local roads would be a complete nightmare with the huge number of extra cars it would bring. Please listen to our concerns, once our countryside has gone it is gone for ever
