Respondent: Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council
I formally object to the 291.03-hectare Ashley submission (12 sites) in the Cheshire East
SHELAA.
I formally object to the 291.03-hectare Ashley submission (12 sites) in the Cheshire East
SHELAA. These sites must be classified as Unsuitable and Undeliverable:
• Green Belt Breach: As strategic "wash-over" Green Belt preventing sprawl between
Greater Manchester and Cheshire, it fails national "Grey Belt" release criteria.
• BMV Agricultural Loss: Irreparably destroys Grade 2 and 3a Best and Most Versatile
farmland protected for food security.
• Hierarchy & Infrastructure: Unsustainable rural location lacking transport, utilities,
surface-water drainage, and basic services.
• Heritage & Safety Harm: Conflicts with aviation safety zones, exacerbates River Bollin
flood risks, and damages ancient woodlands and 19 Listed Buildings.
