Green Belt and Delamere Forest (managed by the Forestry Commission) which is a haven for wildlife. It should also be recognised that, according to the Wildlife Trust, Cheshire is one of the least wooded areas in the country. And, according to CW&C’s own Tree and Woodland Strategy, the woodland cover across the borough is 4% - well below the national average of 10%. CW&C cannot afford to lose any. Any areas which are marked as grade 2 or 3 farmland on the Natural England map (and which therefore may be BMV – see our response to SS20) should be subject to detailed site survey (i.e. not just desk-based) carried out in accordance with Natural England guidance to inform any decisions about future development.

Elton station is in Green Belt. The area around it should not be built up.

Hooton station is in Green Belt. The area around it should not be built up, especially as the rest of the Ellesmere Port area is so heavily developed and industrialised. Ellesmere Port desperately needs to retain what little open green space it has.

Green Belt should not be built on. Also, this development proposal would effectively join up the settlements of Willaston and Hooton.
