Further to my piece on the Cheshire East Local Plan, this appears on Place North West today: http://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/news/archive/14411-cheshire-east-urged-to-reconsider-green-belt-strategy.html Jonathan Vose at Walsingham Planning would also appear to have concerns about the evidence base underpinning the Council's proposed development strategy. "The proposals in Handforth are particularly interesting, in planning terms, given that a very large scale of development is proposed wholly within the green belt, without the council first having published a formal assessment of its green belt, or the quality and openness value of sites within it."
