Option A - Retain the Green Belt The green belt is used for agriculture, important for not only our food or food producing animals' food but also diversity of animals and insects. Vital for ecosytems.  There are alternative sites of brown fields. These should be used as priority.  It is not fair, or appropriate, to force buy a person's livelihood to build houses where alternative sites are available, even if these brown fields sites may cost more to developers to create.

I agree with sustainable option.  However Frodsham has been identified on the basis of the transport links as a sutiable place for a large number of additional housing,  If this is to be accomodated there needs to be further expansion of the station facilities (Station shelter/parking) or relocation of the station.  Transport links for construction (possible new routes/bridges into development areas will need careful consideration as currently the bridges restrict transport of large loads through the town).

Option C is the most appropriate option, because sustainable transport corridors are the most appropriate and effective way of delivering modal shift and creating active, healthy communities.   Option A is inappropriate because the green belt boundaries in Cheshire West and Chester are at least 25 -years old and not fit for purpose in light of current sustainable development objectives and need to deliver higher numbers of housing and employment.  NPPF recognises the need to review Green Belt boundaries, looks to identify grey belt and deliver sustainable patterns of growth. Retaining the Green Belt risks development being pushed to less sustainable locations in smaller settlements beyond the Green Belt boundary. Reviewing it enables sustainable sites that do not contribute strongly to be released around larger settlements that can support growth.  We also consider their merit in looking to locate development at settlements with the employment and services, as well as transport connectivity.

Our preferred spatial strategy is Option B, which promotes a more balanced distribution of development across the borough, including in sustainable locations at the urban fringe of key settlements. The Land at Chester Road, Hooton, is ideally placed to contribute to this strategy, offering a deliverable, accessible, and landscape led mixed-use residential extension to Ellesmere Port that aligns with national and local policy objectives. While Option A is supported in principle for its emphasis on brownfield regeneration, it is unlikely to meet the scale or variety of housing needs identified through the revised Standard Method, particularly in areas where greenfield sites can deliver early-phase growth supported by existing infrastructure. The Hooton site provides a realistic and timely opportunity to contribute to housing delivery without placing pressure on constrained urban land. Option C is not supported, due to the risks associated with delivering large-scale new settlements and extensive Green Belt release. These approaches often face long lead-in times and significant infrastructure dependencies that undermine early delivery and contribute to housing shortfalls. We recommend that the Council adopt Option B as the preferred spatial strategy, potentially supplemented by elements of Option A where appropriate. This hybrid model would support flexibility, ensure a robust five-year housing land supply, and enable sites like Chester Road, Hooton to be brought forward early in the plan period. The Hooton site is a logical extension of the settlement boundary and offers scope to deliver new homes, green infrastructure, mixed-use development, and community benefits in line with both local policy and the objectives of the revised NPPF.

Question SS11. Redrow Application to build on Donkey Sanctuary to Rough Hill. Preference is for Option A - retain Greenbelt.
I&O_7306
The existing infrastructure in and around the proposed site is not suitable to support additional housing. Local roads are already under considerable strain, with frequent congestion and a lack of safe pedestrian pathways.  Constant queuing to get over Grosvenor Bridge and there appears to be no plans to build the western relief road.  Public transport links are limited, making the location unsuitable for a development that would likely increase population density and vehicle use significantly.  People do not cycle or walk they drive cars, as has been seen with the increase in cars parking from Wrexham Road development and driving to the King School across the road.  Furthermore, there are limited healthcare, education, and utility services available locally. Existing schools and GP surgeries are already oversubscribed, with empty promises of building more and this development would place further unsustainable pressure on these essential services.

Options B and C are the most appropriate. These would preserve the development profile in the existing Local Plan area whilst ensuring that sustainable transport corridors are prioritised. The rural area does not have the same level of infrastructure or ability to densify development as the likes of Chester, Ellesmere Port and the Mid Cheshire Towns. These places should see high-quality and high-density development akin to that of other neighbouring towns and cities

Not A as keeping Green Belt when it may provide the most sustainable locations for new development and where GB does not strongly meet GB tests is not the most appropriate strategy. C locate development in places with good sustainable transport links preferably with rail links within walking or cycling distance
