I urge the Council to give greater consideration to the following areas: NOR10 - Weaverham, which has existing infrastructure and capacity to accommodate further planned growth and an opportunity to deliver a mix of housing with good access to the A49. NOR08 - Land adjoining the A556 -opposite Hartford, where development would benefit from its better transport links A556 and access to main services NB Although Green belt the traffic from this proposed development would not add pressure on either Hartford or Davenham directly. I also believe that the further regeneration of Northwich town centre , where brownfield land and underused commercial areas offer a prime opportunity for sustainable, mixed-use housing development should be considered, together with further expansion of Winnington Village.

None of the sites are ideal as Northwich surrounding area has had various developments over the last few years with no improvements to traffic infrastructure except Kingsmead spine road. Weaverham and Barnton are the most ideal sites as they have good access to A49 and M56/M6. NOR09 would give direct access to A556 but the nearest village facilities in Hartford and Davenham suffer traffic congestion already. NOR06 would be a possibility but would entail building direct access to the A533. Davenham village and London Road could not cope with further traffic. NOR01/02/07/11/12 would mean more traffic and pollution on minor roads - just utter deadlock and madness.

None choose Option A. The A49 and road from Dutton to Northwich via Barnton is already gridlocked . The Winnington bridge cannot possibly cope with more traffic from increased housing in Barnton/Winnington. Hartford is already at a standstill for huge swathes of the day. Weaverham's remaining fields around its borders are precious to its residents. It will be hugely depressing to see these last remaining areas of green space built on. Where will our young people carry on the farming tradition of this county?

Clearly, 6,7 & 8 are the most suitable as they're not on green belt land and they're close to new employment opportunitites.  7&8 are also close to schools but have no local healthcare so this may need to be factored into development plans

In response to question 29 - Which of the potential growth areas around Northwich do you consider the most suitable?   I would urge the council to give greater consideration to the following areas. NOR10 Weaverham which has good access to the A49 leading to M56 which means existing infrastructure are in place.   Also NOR08 Land adjoining A556 opposite Hartford, where a development would benefit from existing transport links, which would not put additional pressure on Hartford or Davenham roads.   I would also suggest the regeneration of Northwich Town centre which is crying out for affordable accommodation and amenities, it also has an abundance of brown field land and unused commercial properties.

I would like CWAC to seriously consider alternative areas for potential growth as I believe Davenham to be totally unsuitable; this will be outlined in my response to question 31.   Suggestions: NOR10 - Weaverham There is already an existing infrastructure in Weaverham that I believe would far better suit further planned growth within the area. Transport links are more suitable with easy access to the A49. NOR08 – Hartford This area has land adjoining the A556.  This location has far better transport links to the A556 and access to main services.  I believe that although the area is classified as green belt the traffic from any proposed development here would not add pressure to either Hartford or Davenham directly. So, if further development in CWAC is required this area should be a serious consideration. However, I am aware that the CADENT pipeline proposals would directly impact on both NOR08 & NORO7, I am usure of the impact of the pipeline on your proposed new housing developments. Northwich town centre and Winnington Village Further regeneration of brownfield land and underused commercial areas in Northwich may be a consideration in terms of offering possible sustainable, mixed-use housing, although I am concerned that the infrastructure of Northwich is not overly suitable for any major regrowth. Access to the town centre is already problematic with significant and frequent congestion and traffic delays.  Flood risks are high in this area already. I do not feel comfortable with this suggestion, but feel even more uneasy at the proposed plans for the expansion of Davenham (NOR06 & NOR07).

so basically in all of these options Davenham gets hammered. People choose to live in villages because of their nature - they still have community. By merging the villages together that will be destroyed

Many of the growth areas for Northwich are on the other side of the Weaverham Bridge, that needs replacing. No development should occur until the Weaverham Bridge is replaced and there is good public transport connections to the town.

I urge the Council to give greater consideration to the following areas, which offer more sustainable and infrastructure-ready options for development: NOR10 – Weaverham : This area benefits from existing infrastructure and capacity to support further growth. It offers the potential for a balanced mix of housing and has excellent access to the A49, making it a logical choice for expansion. NOR08 – Land adjoining the A556 (opposite Hartford) : Despite its designation as Green Belt, this site is well-served by major transport links and would not directly impact traffic congestion in Hartford or Davenham. Its proximity to key services and infrastructure makes it a more viable option for development. Northwich Town Centre Regeneration : I strongly advocate for further regeneration of Northwich town centre, where brownfield land and underutilised commercial areas present prime opportunities for sustainable, mixed-use housing. This approach aligns with national planning policy objectives to prioritise brownfield development and revitalise urban centres. Winnington Village Expansion : Continued development in this area would build on existing community infrastructure and support cohesive growth.

I would like to respond to this question with direct quotes from the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan document itself: “Cheshire West and Chester unanimously declared, on 21 May 2019, that the borough was in a climate emergency.  The Council agreed that climate change presents a threat to our way of life; recognised the need to act in-line with the worldwide agreements on climate change and the best available evidence, which states that to limit emissions to 1.5 OC, there is a requirement to reach ‘net zero’ by 2045; and the Council must play its part by evidencing leadership on this issue.” … “Sustainability Objectives Protect air quality where it is of a high standard and to improve it elsewhere. 6. Protect land and soil quality. 7. Optimise the re-use of previously developed land and buildings. 12. Protect, enhance and manage the character and appearance of the landscape and townscape, maintaining and strengthening local distinctiveness and sense of place.  13. Preserve and enhance historic assets, sites, features, areas and settings of archaeological, historical and cultural heritage importance. 14. Protect and enhance the borough’s biodiversity and wildlife habitats. 16. Promote regeneration, particularly of deprived areas. 20. Maintain and improve the vitality and viability of city, town and local centres 22. Make the best use of existing transport infrastructure and ensure everyone has access to high quality and affordable public transport, cycling and walking infrastructure” All of these objectives suggest that primary development should be focused on building up on top of existing infrastructure, increasing density and regenerating town centres and central areas, rather than constructing new developments in commuter-belt areas on prime agricultural farmland. The most efficient and least carbon-intensive form of housing is high-density apartment buildings, specifically in towns and cities. Here car ownership is not even necessary – all journeys are either made on foot, cycling or with public transport. Amenities are to hand, and businesses local to the apartment building flourish. Communities are equally boosted by proximity. The Green Belt and other surrounding areas are respected and left unspoilt. By myopically focusing on out of town, private commuter and delivery-driver centric developments, the Council is in danger of acting hypocritically against its own Sustainability Objectives and not respecting its self-declared “Climate Emergency”. I therefore suggest that the Council’s focus should be entirely on further developing and regenerating the town centre of Northwich itself, or nearby similar developments such as those close to hand such as in Winnington.

NOR08 – Land adjoining the A556 opposite Hartford : Although this is currently Green Belt, its location adjacent to the A556 and near key services means traffic from this development would not directly increase congestion in either Hartford or Davenham. Regeneration of Northwich town centre : Brownfield and underused commercial land within the town offer prime opportunities for sustainable, mixed-use housing development, supporting town centre vitality. Further expansion of Winnington Village : This site has established infrastructure and connectivity, making it a logical focus for future housing growth.

Future housing growth must go where it fits, using existing infrastructure, protecting green space, and keeping community character intact. NOR10  – Weaverham: Established infrastructure, capacity for growth, and excellent access to the A49 make this a logical choice for balanced, mixed housing. NOR08 – Land by the A556, opposite Hartford: Strong transport links and close to main services. Crucially, traffic from this site would not add pressure to Hartford or Davenham. Northwich Town Centre regeneration: Brownfield and underused sites should be prioritised to deliver sustainable, mixed-use housing, revitalising the town and protecting surrounding green space. Winnington Village expansion: Further controlled growth here would build on existing community facilities and infrastructure.
