Local plan scoping consultation

Identifying and assessing sites

Representation ID: 6459

Received: 01/09/2026

Respondent: Friends of Giantswood Lane

Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

The respondent objects to any housing allocation north of Wolstenholme Elmy Way, arguing that Congleton has already experienced substantial growth, with up to 2,000 homes approved south of the link road, resulting in significant loss of agricultural land and rural character. Concerns are raised about potential impacts on Giantswood Lane, the last unobstructed rural route north of the town, and further encroachment into Green Belt land, wildlife habitats and valued countryside. The representation also highlights a lack of supporting infrastructure, healthcare, schools and childcare facilities. Ongoing construction impacts, including road damage, noise, vibration and disruption to residents, are cited as further reasons for caution.
