Local plan scoping consultation
Green Belt
Representation ID: 6867
Received: 28/08/2026
Respondent: Charles Maslin
The respondent objects to development on Green Belt land near Hale and the River Bollin, which they value for walking, hiking, fishing and recreation. They express concern that additional housing could increase pressure on local sewage infrastructure and negatively affect water quality and wildlife, including brown trout in the River Bollin. They state that they have previously witnessed and reported a pollution incident that resulted in fish deaths. The respondent considers the countryside important for their wellbeing, fitness and social activities and argues that development would reduce access to local green spaces and require travel further afield to enjoy the natural environment.
