Local plan scoping consultation

Hi
I am writing with comments regarding the Cheshire East Local Plan Scoping in relation to Chelford. I live in Chelford (Redacted).
I strongly support the feedback given by Chelford Parish Council but would add the following comments;
• The plan should identify a “centre” to the village which would include the majority of community resources (e.g. community centre, health centre, retail); this should not be determined by developers keen to get plans approved on the basis that they meet some community need
• The scale of proposed developments should be commensurate with the existing community and its environment; many proposed developments are too large to be absorbed into the existing community (reflecting the desire of developers to “scale up” proposals so they can achieve economies of scale)
• The plan should prioritise small scale development on existing brownfield sites rather than allowing development on greenfield sites (including Greenfield sites that have been re-branded as greyfield sites)
• No development should be approved until current infrastructure shortcomings have been resolved. Specifically I would highlight the following;
o Traffic density and speed through the village are both problematic
o Water pressure is inadequate to meet current demand, never mind any additional demand
o Electricity supply has been frequently interrupted and needs upgrading
o The current bus service is minimal and not consistent with any proposals to expand the village
o The current rail service is also minimal and not consistent with expansion
o Footpaths to the station and village hall are wholly inadequate; the paths are too narrow bearing ion mind the traffic density and speed. This is particularly problematic over the railway bridge
