The city should not be allowed to sprawl into the countryside. Before developing potential ‘growth’ areas ‘around’ the city, areas in need of regeneration within it should be redeveloped.

The surrounding Green Belt plus Grade Two agricultural land in the north west and to the south east. 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.

The Northwich Neighbourhood Plan identified that there were significant areas of the town suitable for regeneration and where new development could be located on previously developed land (https://www.northwichtowncouncil.gov.uk/northwich-neighbourhood-plan/).

The adopted Winsford Neighbourhood Plan sets out where it is appropriate for development to go and it illustrates where the flood plain is (https://winsford.gov.uk/policies/).
