Local plan scoping consultation
Development in settlements
Respondent: Ms Lindsay Reade
Representation Summary:
The respondent objects to further housing development on Green Belt land around Bollington and Adlington. They are concerned that existing and proposed development is placing increasing pressure on local infrastructure, particularly roads, healthcare services and dental provision. They argue that the countryside and farmland are valuable community assets that should be protected and that development is reducing access to green spaces previously used for recreation. Concerns are also raised about building on land affected by flooding, with the respondent suggesting that previous developments have worsened local flood issues. They urge Cheshire East to prioritise brownfield redevelopment before Green Belt release and ensure infrastructure can support future growth.

Dear Cheshire East
I am a Cheshire East resident and tax payer and live in Bollington.
I am very concerned about the encroachment of housing developments which are already affecting the insufficient road infrastructure we have here.
Despite the government overturning the new town Adlington project , I gather developers are still steaming ahead to build on green belt land in Adlington and encroaching onto Bollington ([REDACTED]).
Not only is the road infrastructure insufficient, but the doctor’s surgery is already overburdened- and a dentist is impossible to get.
The countryside is vital to us, it is so important to preserve it around these towns and it will not come again. I used to enjoy walking across the field and by the river nearby but now there’s two whole housing developments preventing this and both of them are on flood plains. After the first one went up, the area where the second one is flooded massively. Now there’s houses being built on it. The water has to go somewhere. It’s against common sense. But it is planned to go on and on. The damage surely threatens to be cumulative and to negatively affect our wellbeing and overall health? Please seriously consider brownfield before greenbelt and look at the implications when the infrastructure simply is not there which it is not in Bollington and environs. Preserve farmland !
Yours sincerely
Lindsay Reade
