Local plan scoping consultation
Settlement hierarchy
Representation ID: 6852
Received: 28/08/2026
Respondent: Haughton Parish Council
We ask Cheshire East Council to formally recognise Haughton within the Local Plan process, establish a defined boundary and work directly with the Parish before determining its place in the settlement hierarchy. Haughton is a sparse rural hamlet centred on a successful agricultural and dairy-farming economy supported by high-quality agricultural land. The area is also defined by its relationship with the Meres and Mosses landscape, wildlife value, high water tables, flooding constraints and limited infrastructure. We are not promoting specific development sites but seek an evidence-led approach that reflects local needs, environmental constraints, agricultural importance and long-term sustainability
