3.14: Chelford station cannot be considered a ‘well connected railway station’ as it does not meet the definition criteria relating to frequency of trains serving the station. This station, therefore must not be used to introduce unsustainable development within the rural landscape in this area.

5.9 We should see promoted sites early. Sites submitted in the 2024 and 2026 calls for sites are not allocations or permissions, but they show where landowners and developers may seek growth. The Parish Council should be able to comment before initial assessments develop into preferred options.

5.15: Ollerton with Marthall Parish Council strongly objects to green field sites within the Green Belt in Ollerton and Marthall being allocated as grey belt land. The erosion of Green Belt within the Parish will harm the rural setting of the small community and lead to unsustainable development.
