Local plan scoping consultation
Representation Summary:
Protect peatlands and carbon stores
Peatlands are our most important natural carbon stores. They must be excluded from development. The Weaver Green site is a cautionary tale — emissions from peat destruction have already fuelled climate change. We cannot afford to repeat that mistake. The Local Plan must explicitly safeguard all peatlands and their surrounding buffer zones from development
Full text:
I am writing in response to the scoping consultation for the new Cheshire East Local Plan. I am a resident of Stockport (Redacted) and a concerned citizen with a background in Wildlife Conservation. I want to see a Local Plan that genuinely addresses the climate and biodiversity crises, not one that pays them lip service while opening the door to more unsustainable development.

Key Priorities for the Local Plan
1. Protect peatlands and carbon stores
Peatlands are our most important natural carbon stores. They must be excluded from development. The Weaver Green site is a cautionary tale — emissions from peat destruction have already fuelled climate change. We cannot afford to repeat that mistake. The Local Plan must explicitly safeguard all peatlands and their surrounding buffer zones from development.
2. Protect Green Belt and ecological connectivity
Green Belt land is not just a barrier to sprawl — it is essential for maintaining ecological connectivity. Land that provides wildlife corridors should not be reclassified as "Grey Belt" simply to meet housing targets. The Plan must protect the countryside from encroachment and recognise its role in supporting biodiversity and climate resilience.
3. Irreplaceable habitats must be off-limits
Ancient woodlands, lowland raised bogs (like Danes Moss), and species-rich grasslands are irreplaceable. Once destroyed, they cannot be recreated. The Plan must include a clear presumption against development on all irreplaceable habitats, with no exceptions.
4. Protect all wildlife sites and their buffers
Local Wildlife Sites, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), and other high-biodiversity areas must be protected — not just the sites themselves, but the land around them. These buffers and wildlife corridors are essential for species to move, adapt, and survive, especially in the face of climate change and increasing wildfire risk.
5. Align with the Local Nature Recovery Strategy
The Local Plan must be driven by the Local Nature Recovery Strategy. Without this alignment, we risk worsening the biodiversity crisis and pushing local species towards extinction. Cheshire East should not become a scattered collection of isolated nature sites with no connectivity.
6. Protect green space for people and wildlife
Natural spaces on the urban fringe are vital for both biodiversity and public health. They provide space for recreation, mental wellbeing, and wildlife. They must be preserved from development.
7. Address flood risk
With climate change increasing the frequency of extreme weather, avoiding flood risk must be a core principle of site selection. Development on floodplains or land that contributes to downstream flooding should not be permitted.
8. Challenge housing targets
I urge the Council to challenge the 146% increase in housing numbers. Is this level of growth truly sustainable in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss? The Plan must prioritise genuine need over developer profit.
---
Conclusion
I want to see a Local Plan that:
· Protects peatlands, Green Belt, and irreplaceable habitats
· Aligns with the Local Nature Recovery Strategy
· Prioritises climate resilience and flood risk avoidance
· Challenges unsustainable housing targets
· Protects green spaces for both wildlife and people
I urge the Council to take these priorities seriously. The decisions made in this Plan will shape Cheshire East for decades. Get it right, and we protect our natural heritage. Get it wrong, and we lose it forever.
