Work on New CE Plan Underway

Work starts on a new Cheshire East Local Plan

Cheshire East has started the ball rolling on its new Local Plan which will eventually set the blueprint for development in the borough into the 2040s.

A 12-week consultation is now underway on Cheshire East Council's 'Local Plan issues paper' and feedback is invited from residents, businesses and other organisations about how future planning policies can help to address a wide range of issues.

These include meeting the borough's future housing needs, tackling climate change, providing new jobs, restoring nature and supporting healthier lifestyles.

Views are also invited on a number of other draft reports that will help inform the content of the new Local Plan, including about the availability of land for future development.

The consultation can be found here: www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/newlocalplan all documents;

* at all libraries across the borough during their normal opening hours (issues paper only); and

* at the council's offices between 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays): Crewe — Delamere House, Delamere Street, CW1 2LL; Macclesfield — Town Hall, Market Place, SK10 1EA (all documents)

Online responses are encouraged; however paper comments forms will be available from the council offices listed above and at libraries.

Completed paper forms should be posted to the Strategic Planning Team, Cheshire East Council, c/o Delamere House, Delamere Street, Crewe, CW1 2LL.
