Local plan scoping consultation

Land Between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane, Mobberley
Overall
I strongly object to the proposed housing allocation on land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane. This development would result in the loss of valuable open countryside, eroding the rural character and setting of the area. The site is poorly served by existing infrastructure, with local roads already experiencing congestion and limited capacity to accommodate additional traffic. Increased housing would place further pressure on GP services, schools, and other community facilities. The proposal could also harm local biodiversity, wildlife habitats, and landscape quality. More sustainable brownfield sites should be prioritised before releasing greenfield land for residential development in this location.
Infrastructure
I strongly object to the proposed housing development on land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane due to its significant impact on local infrastructure and the environment. The surrounding road network is already under pressure and lacks the capacity to accommodate increased traffic, leading to congestion, road safety concerns, noise, and air pollution. Local schools, GP surgeries, and other essential services are stretched and would face additional demand. The development would also result in the loss of greenfield land, harm biodiversity, fragment wildlife habitats, reduce natural drainage, increase surface water runoff and flood risk, and weaken the rural character of the area.
Traffic
I strongly object to the proposed housing development on land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane. The local road network is narrow, poorly suited to increased traffic, and already experiences congestion at peak times. 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. The development would generate significant additional traffic on roads that lack the capacity to accommodate further growth. It would also increase noise and air pollution while placing further pressure on already stretched local infrastructure and services.
Residents View
I strongly object to the proposed housing development on land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane. The proposal would cause significant harm to the openness and purposes of the Green Belt, 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. The visual impact would be considerable, with new homes, roads, lighting and infrastructure creating an intrusive urban presence. 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.
Village Character and Identity
I strongly object to the proposed housing development on land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane. The proposal would cause significant harm to the openness and purpose of the Green Belt by replacing undeveloped countryside with extensive built development. It would erode the area's distinctive rural character and village charm, qualities that are highly valued by residents and contribute to the village's unique identity. The peaceful countryside setting, attractive views, and sense of separation from larger settlements would be lost. Housing, roads and lighting would create an intrusive urban presence, diminishing the village's character, setting, sense of place and long-established rural appeal.
Environmental Concerns
I strongly object to the proposed housing development on land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane. The scheme would result in the unnecessary loss of greenfield land, damaging the rural character and landscape of the area. Development would increase surface water runoff, flood risk, noise, air pollution, and carbon emissions from additional vehicle traffic. It could lead to the loss and fragmentation of wildlife habitats, negatively affecting birds, mammals, pollinators, and protected species. Mature trees, hedgerows, and biodiversity corridors may also be harmed. Furthermore, local roads, schools, healthcare services, and other infrastructure are already under pressure and may struggle to accommodate further growth.

4 Pockets of Land along BroadOak Lane / Pepper Street and Smith Lane (Green areas)
Overall comment
I strongly object to the proposed mixed-use development on Land North of Station Road. While regeneration can bring benefits, this site is unsuitable due to the likely increase in traffic congestion, pressure on local infrastructure, and loss of open space. Existing roads, schools, healthcare services and public transport are already under strain and there is insufficient evidence that the necessary improvements can be delivered in a timely manner. The development would also have an adverse impact on the character of the area, reducing the separation between built-up areas and harming local amenity. Alternative brownfield sites should be prioritised before releasing this land for development.
Infrastructure and lack of public transport-based comment
I strongly object to the proposed mixed-use development on Land North of Station Road due to its poor accessibility and unsustainable reliance on private car travel. The site is not adequately served by public transport, limiting realistic travel options for future residents, employees and visitors. Train services from the local station are limited, reducing connectivity to key employment, education and service centres. Walking and cycling links are also insufficient to support a genuinely sustainable development. As a result, the proposal is likely to generate significant additional car journeys, increasing traffic congestion, carbon emissions and pressure on local roads. This conflicts with sustainable planning principles.
Village Character and Identity comment
I strongly object to the proposed development on Land North of Station Road due to the harm it would cause to the identity and character of the village. The village has a distinct rural setting and strong sense of community that is closely linked to its scale, surrounding countryside and separation from neighbouring settlements. A large mixed-use development would fundamentally alter this character, making the village feel more urban and reducing its unique local identity. The development risks overwhelming existing communities, eroding the qualities that make the area attractive to residents and visitors, and diminishing the historic and rural character that has developed over generations.
Environmental Concerns comment
I strongly object to the proposed development on Land North of Station Road because of the loss of Green Belt land and the harm it would cause to the openness, landscape character and biodiversity of the area. The site provides an important undeveloped green space that contributes to the rural setting and visual amenity of the locality. Development would urbanise open countryside, reducing the sense of openness and damaging important views. It would also disrupt habitats used by local wildlife, potentially affecting birds, mammals, insects and other species that depend on these green spaces. The proposal therefore risks causing significant and irreversible environmental harm.
