Local plan scoping consultation
Identifying and assessing sites
Respondent: Friends of Giantswood Lane
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.

I wish to register my comments and objections to the Congleton Local Plan that particularly designates any land North of Wolsenholme Elmy Way for housing development as follows:
1). Cheshire East have already approved plans for up to 2000 new homes South of the link road that has seen large areas of Cheshires Rural Heritage, agriculture and farming land permanently lost.
2). Giantswood Lane, the only remaining unobstructed rural lane North out of Congleton, could be seriously affected by developments interfacing with the Lane, North of the Link Road, which would be strongly objected too by local residents.
3). Further development of Green Belt land North of the Link Road would expand the development boundary beyond that previously indicated and could lead to further erosion of Agricultural Farming Land, Cheshire's Rural Heritage, Natural Wildlife Habitats and Recreational Countryside. Current and future residents of Congleton value and use these rural retreats extensively.
4). Industrial and Housing Development in Congleton has been extensive for a number of years. Yet there is no visible accompanying plan for the development of infrastructure, services, health care, schools and pre school child care.
5). Current CEC Approved Housing Developments in the Congleton Area are long term and ongoing construction projects lasting between 5 to 8 years. Construction vehicle damage to minor roads is already apparent. Roads are covered in site ground works and noise and vibration from Site vehicles and piling has been significantly disruptive to residents wellbeing and damaging to local properties.
CEC should liaise with Local residents and consider all the above, before granting approvals.
