Local plan scoping consultation

Planning for growth

Representation ID: 5585

Received: 01/09/2026

Respondent: Nick Carter

Representation Summary:

1. I recognise the need and benefit from continued small scale development to meet primarily local needs.
2. I object strongly to further mass development such as that already taking place in Congleton for example.
7. Any development should be in response to clearly identified and local demographic needs. The plan should be based on evidence and not a response to pressure from speculators such as Belport hoping to make quick profits. We should not allow a new town to be created by the back door.

Green Belt

Representation ID: 5586

Received: 01/09/2026

Respondent: Nick Carter

Representation Summary:

3. It should be an overriding priority for the Plan to maintain the Adlington and other Green Belt areas and a clear physical distinction between Greater Manchester and Macclesfield.

Identifying and assessing sites

Representation ID: 5587

Received: 01/09/2026

Respondent: Nick Carter

Representation Summary:

4. The land put forward for development around Adlington in particular is prime agricultural land, no doubt with much wildlife and other environmental assets and in my opinion should be strongly protected and maintained. Britain needs farms and food production and the importance of this in Cheshire East should be emphasised as a central tenet of the plan.

Brownfield development

Representation ID: 5588

Received: 01/09/2026

Respondent: Nick Carter

Representation Summary:

5. I want to see an approach that puts the taking of agricultural and greenfield sites as a last resort. Cheshire should not become a “Manchester Overspill” zone. There is so much derelict and brownfield land in the Greater Manchester area (and no doubt in Cheshire East) that would benefit from regeneration. We should avoid the easy option and push back to protect the character of our area and ensure development priorities are focused there.

Town centres

Representation ID: 5589

Received: 01/09/2026

Respondent: Nick Carter

Representation Summary:

6. Macclesfield is very run down in places and the town as a whole needs investment and reinvigoration. Well planned developments that help bring the town centre back to life and focus on a thriving market town community should be a priority.

Transport and infrastructure

Representation ID: 5591

Received: 01/09/2026

Respondent: Nick Carter

Representation Summary:

8. There needs to be a strong emphasis on sustainability and on the provision of infrastructure. There have been many developments in other part of the country where this has not been provided. Not just access roads but schools, public space, health facilities, public transport, light industry areas etc should be built into the plan and delivered as enablers not promises.

Creating a vision and objectives

Representation ID: 5592

Received: 01/09/2026

Respondent: Nick Carter

Representation Summary:

9. Above all, I want the Plan to commit to maintain the Eastern part of Cheshire East as fundamentally a rural, village and market town with an emphasis on agriculture, small business, local communities and protection of our environment. It should be kept separate from Manchester and reject further large scale developments. Conserve and enhance what we have.
