Subject: Cheshire East Local Plan: Consultation on Possible Additional Sites Proposed by Developer and Land Interests 3rd May – 30th May 2013

Dear Sir / Madam,

Cheshire East Council Local Plan ‘Possible Additional Sites Proposed by Developer and Land Interests’ Consultation: 3^rd to 30^th May 2013.

Cheshire East Council is currently producing its Local Plan, which will set out how Cheshire East should be shaped up to 2030. Consultation has been carried out on a number of documents including ‘Issues and Options’, ‘Place Shaping’, ‘Town Strategy’, ‘Development Strategy’ and ‘Policy Principles’.

Responses to the recent ‘Development Strategy’ consultation have revealed a number of sites which developers and landowners consider suitable for inclusion in the Core Strategy. In addition, other strategic sites have been brought to the attention of the Council in the past few months, as the plan-making process has progressed.

At the meeting of Cheshire East Council’s Strategic Planning Board on 1st May 2013, it was agreed that public consultation should take place on the ‘Possible Additional Sites Proposed by Developer and Land Interests’, from 3^rd to 30^th May 2013.

The purpose of the consultation is to give members of the public and other interested parties a chance to have their say about the sites included within this document, prior to the Council making a decision on whether any of these sites should be included within the Local Plan.  Please note that all previous comments made during consultations on the Development Strategy and other elements of the Local Plan remain valid. This consultation is  seeks views on the additional sites presented in the consultation document and therefore there is no need to repeat comments made previously on the Local Plan.
