Identifying and assessing sites
Representation Summary:
This representation strongly objects to large-scale development in Ashley, a small rural parish of around 100 homes, on the grounds that it would fundamentally alter the village’s character and place unsustainable pressure on local infrastructure. Ashley is served by narrow, winding roads, restricted bridges and inadequate pavements, with existing traffic and safety concerns. Development would erode the Green Belt buffer separating Ashley from Hale and Altrincham, risking coalescence with Greater Manchester. Concerns are also raised about the loss of agricultural land, impacts on woodland and wildlife habitats, limited public transport capacity, lack of schools, healthcare and shops, and disruption from major construction activity.

Ashley is a small rural Parish, with approximately 100 homes . Large-scale development with 1000 or 11,000 homes would have severe impact on the village community. All roads in and out of the village are narrow winding roads with tight bends and narrow bridges over the railway and the River Bollin. Thereare already many accidents at these places. There are very few pavements and the ones already here are narrow
, uneven and not fit for purpose.
The green belt land between Ashley and Hale and Altrincham provides a natural buffer. If it becomes built on Ashley would just become part of the large conurbation of Greater Manchester .
The government state that we need to be more self-sufficient when it comes to food production. Building on Green belt land seems counterintuitive.
The railway service between Manchester and Chester which runs through Ashley is only one train per hour. Adding cycle track to the station is not really an option as the roads and pavements are extremely narrow. There is no car parking spaces at the station. The roads near Ashley station are very narrow. There is a small car park next to St Elizabeth’s church, however I notice on the map that this is also designated to be part of the new construction.
There is no infrastructure in Ashley, schools, Dr Surgery shops et cetera all these would have to be added for a large scale building project.
Negative impact on places like cotterill Clough, woodland etc . Currently the roads are very narrow ,badly kept and to have large scale trucks et cetera which would be required to build all these houses would severely impact people already living in Ashley.
