The respondent objects to the allocation of land that is green belt, brownfield, protected status, Jodrell Bank and other areas of historical interest or beauty, for traveller accommodation.

This comes up repeatedly. Goostrey is NOT a Local Service Centre. Everyone goes to Holmes Chapel, Alderley Edge or Knutsford. Why would you list both Goostrey and Holmes Chapel as being Local Service Centres, when they are three miles apart?! Goostrey has no GP, no dentist, no library, no banks, no ATMs, no police or fire stations, no supermarkets, no hairdressers, no estate agents, an almost non-existing bus, no leisure centre, no secondary education.

If necessary, recategorise LSCs into "Major" and "Minor".

These MUST be protected at all costs. Once they are gone they are gone forever.

This is a good mix, and provides a nice contrast. It should be defended.

We have a good rail network running north to south, but travelling east to west on public transport is a struggle. More buses connecting east to west, and linking-into the rail network would be very positive.

Healthy lifestyle choices are readily available via the NHS website, GP and other organisations. Less time and money should be spent by the Council on such matters, as you're just duplicating the support that is already out there.

100% agree. Jodrell Bank must be protected at all costs and its work protected from housing developments. Even if funding ceases in 2028 it should remain protected in case new funding is sourced.

Any final decisions must be made by a human being.
