Local plan scoping consultation

Re: Cheshire East Local Plan and the proposed housing development on the land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane
Having been a resident of Mobberley for over 20 years and having experienced the growth and overdevelopment of the village, I strongly object to the proposed housing development on the land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane.
My objection is based on the following concerns:
Environment: The development of this “Green Belt” site would result in the loss of valuable open countryside, eroding the rural character and setting of the area and harming local biodiversity, wildlife habitats, mature trees and established hedgerows. It would also negatively affect landscape quality, as well as birds, mammals, pollinators and protected species.
The development would also reduce natural drainage, increase surface water runoff and flood risk, and increase noise pollution, air pollution, light pollution and carbon emissions resulting from additional vehicle traffic.
Location and Infrastructure: The site is poorly served by existing infrastructure, with local roads already experiencing congestion and having limited capacity to accommodate additional traffic. Additional vehicles would worsen road safety concerns for residents, cyclists and pedestrians. Footpath provision in the area is limited and inadequate, making safe access to local services difficult and increasing reliance on cars.
As a result of the recent development at The Forge, I have already experienced a number of near misses due to the additional traffic commuting to and from this development. Additional traffic associated with this proposed site would undoubtedly increase the risk of further near misses, potentially leading to incidents and possible fatalities.
Local Services: An increase in the population of Mobberley would place further pressure on local GP services, schools and other community facilities, which are already stretched and would face additional demand.
Village Infrastructure: The surrounding road network is already under pressure and lacks the capacity to accommodate increased traffic. There are already significant congestion and serious road safety concerns, particularly on Town Lane, due to parking and traffic associated with residents and visitors using the Co-op, Charlie’s, the hairdressers, the chemist and the bakery. Increasing the village population will only make these problems worse.
A Resident’s Concern: As a resident of Mobberley for over 20 years and someone who would be directly impacted by this proposed development, I believe that this housing development would cause significant harm to the openness and purposes of this natural and beautiful “Green Belt” area, replacing undeveloped countryside with extensive built development.
It would result in the loss of the area’s distinctive rural character, transforming an open agricultural landscape into a suburban housing estate. Residents would lose valued countryside views and a sense of openness, while the development would erode the rural setting, landscape quality and local identity that make this area unique.
The peaceful countryside setting, attractive views and sense of separation from larger settlements would be diminished or lost. Housing, roads and lighting would create an intrusive urban presence, adversely affecting the village’s character, setting, sense of place and long-established rural appeal.
Summary: Whilst I understand the need to build new homes, I believe that more suitable and sustainable brownfield sites would be a much better option. Such sites have greater potential to accommodate appropriate, purpose-built infrastructure and public services, rather than developing small pockets of “Green Belt” land that do not have adequate infrastructure or the required public services to support additional residential development.
I therefore strongly object to the proposed housing development on the land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane in Mobberley.
