Local plan scoping consultation

I would like to share my thoughts on the local plan consultation please.

I am particularly concerned about the robustness of enforcing planning conditions on developers, ensuring that the reasonable concerns of residents and requests about safety and other aspects are not watered down by developers seeking to increase their profits or ensure the viability of their project, especially through amendments after approval.
We need transparency on planning decisions and the processes leading up to them.

We need proper infrastructure provided despite developer's cost complaints.
I was very concerned about the new development of the Tesco at 127 Wellington Road, Bollington, Cheshire, SK10 5HT.

It was requested that this development with a car park exiting onto a dangerous bend would have a pedestrian crossing specified, but these were rejected on the grounds of costs and replaced by 2 speed humps.

I was personally involved in assisting an elderly gentleman who had been knocked down trying to cross in that area. Independent reviews need to be made to ensure that developer's estimates of increased traffic, school requirements etc are feasible.

I have seen the proposals for the Hall Hill site development, and this also exits onto a dangerous bend with no provision for safe traffic/pedestrian flows apart from confirming refuse collections can turn!

I am very concerned about the mix of housing being constructed and the kinds of community created.
I am very opposed to a large amount of high density individual houses being constructed in any area, as these do not provide enough outdoor space for children. I feel that low rise flats built to a high standard make better use of the space available. Houses are not the best for young people starting independent lives or older people seeking to downsize but stay in the same community.

We need an adequate supply of one and 2 bed apartments.
We also need a proper community being built, including provision for local groups to meet cheaply and children's organisations, e.g. Youth Clubs, Sea Cadets and Boys' Brigade. A lack of provision for children is a prime cause of youth offending and anti-social behaviour.

I am totally opposed to developing existing green spaces in towns or designating them as grey belt.
We have areas of green spaces in the town that were historically developed but have been rewilded/returned to nature and form important ecological sites and "lungs" for the town.
Genuine brownfield sites need to be used first.

I am very concerned that our village/small town will be joined to Manchester/Stockport/Hazel Grove if the Adlington area is developed - we would lose valuable farmland and biodiversity forever.
We need to maintain settlement gaps in order to foster a true community spirit and wildlife corridors.

All new builds should include solar panels and heat pumps as standard. Car parking must be a priority if there is no coherent and consistent plan for public transport.
