Local plan scoping consultation

Identifying and assessing sites

Representation ID: 5223

Respondent: Steven Pennington

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the proposed 291-hectare development across 12 parcels at Ashley. This high-quality Green Belt countryside is not Grey Belt and is essential in maintaining the rural separation between Greater Manchester and Cheshire. The Tatton–Ashley area is a valued landscape that supports wildlife, farmland, heritage assets and important views towards Tatton Park. Ashley’s limited services, poor public transport, narrow roads and constrained infrastructure are unsuited to development on this scale. The proposal would worsen traffic, increase pressure on drainage systems, raise flood risks, and threaten biodiversity. It would fundamentally change the countryside that residents value and should therefore be rejected in full.
