Respondent: Protect Butterfly Bank

Protect Butterfly Bank objects to the potential allocation of Stockton Farm/Butterfly Bank (WM27, WM28, CFS26 246, HE274) for development, arguing that the site performs an important Green Belt function, is not “grey belt”, and contributes significantly to maintaining separation between Wilmslow and Alderley Edge. The representation raises concerns about flood risk within the Whitehall Brook catchment, landscape character, biodiversity, veteran trees, habitat connectivity, agricultural land loss, infrastructure capacity and transport sustainability. It advocates a brownfield-first approach, support for a Strategic Green Gap designation, and transparent site assessment. The respondent requests that robust evidence and cumulative impact assessments be completed before any allocation decisions are made.
