Cheshire East council is taking the next steps towards finalising the second part of its Local Plan Strategy.
The Local Plan was approved in 2017. The second part of the plan – known as the site allocations and development policies document (SADPD) – is now progressing and the latest draft contains up-to-date planning policies and new, small-scale, potential sites for housing and employment development.
The proposed revisions include:
- Removal of housing allocations around designated local service centres, most of which would have involved taking more land out of the green belt;
- Revised policies for retail development and town centres, reflecting reduced demand for new retail floorspace and a need for diversified uses in town centres to support their vitality; and
- Higher environmental standards for new homes to help tackle climate change.
