1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This Consultation Statement summarises the community consultation process that was

undertaken in producing the Winsford Neighbourhood Development Plan Consultation Draft November 2012 (referred to in this document as the Neighbourhood Plan) and shows how the requirements of Regulations 14 and 15 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 have been satisfied in producing the Neighbourhood Plan.

1.2 Winsford Town Council has been explicit in its aim that the Neighbourhood Plan should be a plan for the town developed by the people of the town. Consequently efforts have been made to involve the local community in a meaningful way at every stage of the plan-making process.

1.3 Particular emphasis was placed on “front-loaded” community consultation to engage as wide a range of local people and interested parties as possible right at the start before any proposals were formulated. The purpose of this was to ensure that the views and priorities of the local community could inform the plan from the outset.

1.4 In addition the consultation process was designed to ensure that consultation events took place at critical points in the process where decisions needed to be taken; that as wide a range of people as possible could be engaged in the planning process by using a variety of events and communication techniques; and that results of consultation were fed back to local people and available to read (in both hard copy and via electronic media) as soon as possible after the consultation events.

1.5 The community consultation was undertaken by Winsford Town Council, with support from Cheshire West and Chester Council, and project managed by the Town Council’s consultants, Tibbalds Planning & Urban Design and Urban Vision Enterprise CIC.

1.6 The process followed in producing the Neighbourhood Plan was • Stage 1 – Inception Meeting – December 2011 • Stage 2 – Appraisal Report – Evidence Base and Character Assessment –

December 2011 to April 2012 • Stage 3 – Establishing a Vision and Objectives – February to April 2012 • Stage 4 – Production of Draft Neighbourhood Plan and Community Testing – April

to July 2012 • Stage 5 – Production of Consultation Draft Plan – August 2012 to November 2013 • Stage 6 – Pre-Submission Consultation – November 2012 to January 2013

1.7 The community consultation programme comprised the following stages:

• Initial (Stage 3) consultation in March 2012 • Workshops and focus groups to develop and test options in April – May 2012 • Preferred option (Stage 4) consultation in July 2012 • Workshops and focus groups to test policies and proposals in September 2012 • Pre-submission (Stage 5) consultation from November 2012 to January 2013 as

required by Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.

1.8 This Consultation Statement provides a summary of each of the above stages, with full details of Stages 3 and 4 provided in supporting documents.

1.9 A database of consultees was built up during the process of preparing the Neighbourhood Plan. This began with a list of consultees provided by Winsford Town

Page 4: Consultation Statement April 2013

Council, which was refined and expanded with contact details of persons and organisations contacted during the programme of consultation which began in March 2012. This database was used throughout the neighbourhood planning process and people were informed of progress and upcoming consultation events via e-mail.

1.10 At the outset of the neighbourhood plan process the Town Council was concerned about the poor turn out at previous consultation events. Throughout the process the Town Council made efforts to reach as many people as possible. Although the numbers of people responding to the various consultation activities were still relatively low and less people got involved than the Town Council would have liked, the overall response and the numbers engaged at specific consultation events was an improvement on previous consultations.

1.11 However, pressure groups, which had formed to object to development proposals already in the planning system and subject to live planning applications, used the Neighbourhood Plan as a focus for their objections to particular development sites and specific issues.

1.12 Nevertheless, overall the consultation programme reached a wide spectrum of Winsford’s population and the majority of people supported the idea of a Neighbourhood Plan, welcomed the opportunity for change and were positive about the proposed developments.

2. SUMMARY OF INITIAL (STAGE 3) CONSULTATION Who was consulted? 2.1 The purpose of this first stage of consultation (Stage 3 of the neighbourhood plan

process) was to use a variety of techniques, formats and media to engage as broad a range of people from the local community as possible right at the start of the neighbourhood planning process.

2.2 At the outset Winsford Town Council provided a list of contacts – representatives of a wide range of organisations active in the town – who were notified of the commencement of the Neighbourhood Plan and given details of the consultation events and how to make comments.

How were they consulted? 2.3 The consultation techniques included an emailed newsletter, workshops with key

groups, a three-day drop-in centre to engage the general public, questionnaires, postcards from Winsford in 2027, a Twitter account, established print media, a Postcard from Winsford 2027 competition with primary schools, and a questionnaire on the future of Winsford produced and completed by the Winsford Academy.

2.4 The drop-in event took place in the covered mall of Winsford Cross Shopping Centre, the main retail centre in the town, on 1-3 March 2012. Information leaflets, a standing exhibition and questionnaires were presented by the consultancy team, town councillors and officers of Cheshire West and Chester Council, and considerable face-to-face dialogue took place with a broad range of people.

2.5 A workshop with 8 town councillors took place on 29 February 2012, a workshop with around 18 older people took place on 1 March at the Dingle Recreation Centre, and a workshop with 13 stakeholders took place on 2 March at the Lifestyle Centre.

2.6 Around 200 persons took part in the drop-in events and 62 persons completed a detailed questionnaire. Although none of the individual consultation activities could be said to be statistically representative of the population of the whole town (30,700 in 2007), the fact that similar themes, issues and comments emerged from all of the various consultation activities gave the results significance.

What did the consultees say? 2.7 The overall conclusions from the consultation process are summarised below, with

each list being ordered from the most to the least frequently mentioned subject.

2.8 The main things people like about Winsford were that • it is well located and accessible to attractive countryside, the Flashes and riverside; • there is a good community spirit and friendly people; • the main shopping centre, despite its problems, is accessible, under cover, clean,

has good value shops and has free car parking nearby; • there are a number of good community facilities; • the town is well connected to nearby towns and the national transport network.

2.9 The main things people did not like about Winsford were that • the shopping centre is not attractive to shoppers, it has too many vacant shops,

and too few good quality independent shops; • there are not enough leisure activities and facilities for all ages;

2.10 The main things people thought should be changed or improved were • the shopping centre should be improved and made more attractive;

Page 6: Consultation Statement April 2013

• more community and leisure facilities should be provided; • public transport systems should be improved; • the Flashes and the river frontage should be improved and developed sensitively; • vacant buildings, notably the Civic Hall, should be reused and the old High Street

should be enhanced and better connected to the river and shopping centre.

2.11 The main issues and needs people thought that the Neighbourhood Plan should address were • to improve, develop or redevelop the shopping centre, and provide better shops; • to protect and make better use of the Flashes and the River Weaver; • to provide more and better arts, leisure, social and entertainment facilities; • to improve housing provision; • to do more to protect and enhance the built and the natural environment; • to improve public transport and road safety; • to improve employment opportunities.

2.12 The vision emerging from the workshops and the Greetings from Winsford 2027 postcards was of a town with a much improved shopping centre with better quality shops, excellent restaurants, bars and entertainment facilities, a restored old High Street connected to sensitively designed leisure and retail development at the Flashes and riverside, better recreational facilities for all especially for young people, more affordable housing for young people, improved road safety and public transport, and better employment opportunities.

2.13 Full details of this initial (Stage 3) consultation stage are given in the Winsford Neighbourhood Plan Stage 3 Community Consultation Report: Establishing a Vision and Objectives (April 2012).

How were the issues and concerns responded to? 2.14 From this early intensive consultation a draft vision for Winsford and draft objectives

for the Neighbourhood Plan were created and tested at two workshops held with members of the local community from the two sides of the town – one was held in Over on 24 April 2012 attended by 10 local residents, and one held in Wharton on 1 May 2012 attended by 13 local residents. These workshops also explored the spatial options for delivering the quantum of housing and employment development envisaged by the strategic Local Plan in Winsford over the plan period (see 3.2 below).

Page 7: Consultation Statement April 2013

3. SUMMARY OF CONSULTATION ON PREFERRED OPTION (STAGE 4)

3.1 Stage 4 of the Neighbourhood Plan involved the preparation of draft development

proposals for specific sites based on the vision and key themes and aligned to the strategic Local Plan.

3.2 Draft proposals were produced for the Neighbourhood Plan which would achieve growth at the scale envisaged in Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Preferred Option for its Core Strategy to meet projected demand over the plan period: an additional 3,150 houses and 20 ha of employment land developed in Winsford by 2030.

Who was consulted? 3.3 The original list of consultees provided by Winsford Town Council was expanded with

the contact details of all persons who had provided written feedback to the initial consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan, or who had made direct contact with queries or comments. These persons were given feedback of the results of the initial consultation in an e-newsletter referencing the Winsford Neighbourhood Plan Stage 3 Community Consultation Report. They were also informed directly about the next stage in the consultation process and the opportunities to view and comment on the preferred option.

3.4 General publicity was also given to the wider public in the town, to reach a broader range of people and to engage others who had not yet been involved.

How were they consulted? 3.5 The consultation events were publicised in the Future of Winsford e-Newsletter and

the Town Council’s website and printed newsletter in early July 2012, and via the local print media.

3.6 A drop-in event and exhibition was held outside the Asda Supermarket in Winsford Cross Shopping Centre on 20 July 2012, in the foyer of Morrisons supermarket at Wharton also on 20 July 2012, and at the Winsford Five Ring Circus 21 July 2012.

3.7 On 25 July 2012 a focus group / workshop was held at the Dingle Recreation Centre in the town centre which was attended by 27 local residents who had responded to invitations publicized in the Future of Winsford e-newsletter, via the Winsford Guardian, or at the drop-in events.

What did the consultees say? 3.8 A total of 130 completed feedback questionnaires were received from these sources.

In summary a clear majority (84 persons out of a total of 124 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed with the proposed vision and key themes for the Neighbourhood Plan. 30 persons disagreed or strongly disagreed with the vision and key themes.

3.9 A clear majority (82 persons out of a total of 118 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed with the spatial vision that future development should concentrate on strengthening the heart of the town. 30 persons disagreed or strongly disagreed with the spatial vision.

3.10 A good majority (95 persons out of a total of 129 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed that the River Weaver and the Flash should be developed for leisure, culture and community purposes. 31 persons disagreed or strongly disagreed with this.

3.11 With regard to specific sites a majority (70 persons out of a total of 123 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed that the existing Winsford United football ground should be

Page 8: Consultation Statement April 2013

redeveloped for housing and the club relocated to a new purpose-built riverside stadium. 25 persons disagreed or strongly disagreed with this proposal.

3.12 A majority (80 persons out of a total of 130 respondent)s agreed or strongly agreed that the Verdin Fields should be partly developed and the rest laid out as a public park. 26 persons disagreed or strongly disagreed with this proposal.

3.13 A good majority (85 persons out of a total of 117 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed that the old post office site and adjoining land should be redeveloped for leisure and housing purposes. 11 persons (9%) disagreed or strongly disagreed with this proposal.

3.14 A minority (47 persons out of a total of 125 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed that the land around St Chad’s Church should be developed. A majority (57 persons) disagreed or strongly disagreed with this proposal. Objectors were concerned that this is a historic building in a conservation area which has open fields as its historic setting and that development would have a negative effect on this setting.

3.15 A majority (84 persons out of a total of 125 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed that a new Station Quarter would benefit Winsford. 22 persons disagreed or strongly disagreed with this proposal. People’s concerns focused on the loss of open countryside next to Bottom Flash as a result of the scale of development proposed.

3.16 A clear majority (63 persons out of a total of 97 respondents) thought that the land off Chester Road, which was the subject of a current planning application, should be integrated and benefit the wider Neighbourhood Plan. 54 persons thought it should not be included.

3.17 A big majority (65 persons out of a total of 74 respondents) agreed that the former high school site in Over should be redeveloped. 9 persons thought it should not be redeveloped.

3.18 A good majority (89 persons out of a total of 117 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed that new employment development should be located at the east and west business parks and at locations near the centre of town. 14 persons disagreed or strongly disagreed with this proposal.

3.19 A big majority (68 persons out of a total of 77 respondents) agreed or strongly agreed that is important to transform the image of the town by improving the frontage to the main A54 road. 7 persons (9%) disagreed or strongly disagreed with this proposal.

3.20 A final question asked people to suggest buildings or areas of local heritage value which should be protected. Many people mentioned buildings which are already listed or in conservation areas (e.g. St Chad’s Church, the Verdin Exchange and the Bruner Guildhall). Several people thought that the old High Street should be preserved and enhanced. Some thought that the salt mines should be developed as a tourist destination. Many people thought that the river and flashes should be protected and enhanced.

3.21 Full details of the consultation on the preferred option (Stage 4) are provided in the Winsford Neighbourhood Plan Consultation on Preferred Option Community Consultation Report (September 2012).

How were the issues and concerns raised considered and responded to? 3.22 Following this stage of consultation the Neighbourhood Plan was refined to achieve

the strategic growth identified for Winsford in the emerging Cheshire West and

Page 9: Consultation Statement April 2013

Chester Local Plan and to take into account the concerns expressed in respect of certain proposals.

3.23 The following changes were made to the Neighbourhood Plan:

The majority of sites east of the railway were omitted, because they would be less successful in meeting the vision. They were small sites on the fringe of the existing town and neither very well integrated nor did they benefit the overall vision. The exception are sites that are immediately adjacent to the station as these can help in improving the station environment;

The scale of development in the proposed Station Quarter was reduced to ensure that a substantial area of public open space alongside the Bottom Flash remains undeveloped, in order to maintain the green character of the area and minimise the impact of the proposed housing.

The scale of development in the vicinity of St Chad’s Church was reduced to provide a greater amount of undeveloped green space and to ensure that the setting of the conservation area is not adversely affected.

The amount of development on and around the Verdin Playing fields was reduced and a substantial amount of open space retained to accommodate the Town Fair and important community events.

4. PRE-SUBMISSION CONSULTATION (STAGE 5) 4.1 As required by Regulation 15 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations

2012 this section of the Consultation Statement a) provides details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed

neighbourhood development plan; b) explains how they were consulted; c) summarises the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; and

d) describes how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed neighbourhood development plan.

Who was consulted? 4.2 The following statutory bodies were consulted on the Neighbourhood Plan:

Adjoining Parish Councils: • Bostock Parish Council • Darnhall Parish Council • Little Budworth Parish Council • Middlewich Town Council • Moulton Parish Council • Stanthorne Parish Meeting • Whitegate And Marton Parish Council • Wimboldsley Parish Council • Davenham Parish Council • Northwich Town Council

Cheshire West and Chester Council Weaver Valley Board Canal and River Trust Brine Subsidence Compensation Board English Heritage Environmental Agency Highway Agency The Coal Authority Natural England Network Rail National Grid United Utilities GP/Health - Jonathan Griffiths GP / Health Homes and Communities Agency Network Rail Infrastructure Limited

4.3 Details of the statutory consultees are given in Appendix A.

4.4 The names of the individuals and non-statutory organisations who were consulted about the Neighbourhood Plan are given in Appendix B. Contact information about individuals has been withheld for data protection reasons.

How were they consulted? 4.5 Statutory consultees were informed of the consultation by email, or by letter where no

email addresses were available, on 27 November 2012.

4.6 The formal pre-submission consultation period began on Monday 26 November 2012 and was originally planned to close on Monday 21 January 2013. As a result of

Page 11: Consultation Statement April 2013

representations from residential streets in the Rilshaw Lane and Ways Green areas that they had not received sufficient notice of the Neighbourhood Plan, the consultation period was extended to Monday 4 February 2013. This resulted in a formal consultation period of 10 weeks in total.

4.7 The residents of Winsford were informed of the consultation on the Consultation Draft of the Winsford Neighbourhood Plan by the following means:

• In advance of the consultation the Town Council’s Newsletter Winsford Voice was delivered to every household in Winsford in the week commencing 16 November 2012. This publication set out details about the Neighbourhood Plan and the opportunities to view and make comments on it.

• An electronic Future of Winsford newsletter was issued by email to all the consultees on the database on 26 November 2012.

• Exhibition boards explaining the Neighbourhood Plan together with reference copies of the Consultation Draft Winsford Neighbourhood Plan, feedback questionnaire and the supporting documents were displayed at Winsford Library and Wharton Library from 26 November 2012 to 4 February 2013. Representatives of the Town Council, Cheshire West and Chester Council and the consultants were available for questions on the 5th December from 10-1pm in the Library and from 2-4pm at Wyvern House.

• The newsletters, feedback questionnaire, display material, Consultation Draft Neighbourhood Plan, and all supporting documents were made available for download on the Winsford Town Council and the Cheshire West and Chester Council websites in the week commencing 19 November 2012.

• A formal press release was issued by Winsford Town Council in the week commencing 5 November 2012. The Town Council’s invitation to local residents to comment on the Neighbourhood Plan was reported in the Winsford Guardian in the week commencing 3 December 2012.

4.8 People were able to comment by the following means:

• Post or drop off the feedback questionnaire issued with the Winsford Voice to the Town Council,

• Download the feedback questionnaire from the Town Council website and return it by email,

• Print the feedback questionnaire available online and post it or drop it off to the town council, or

• Attend any of the drop in sessions publicised by the town council and complete the feedback questionnaire on the day.

What did the consultees say? 4.9 A total of 116 completed feedback questionnaires were received by the close of the

formal consultation period. The questionnaire comprised three broad questions about the vision for Winsford, themes in the neighbourhood plan, and the view of Winsford’s future, and an opportunity to provide detailed comments about specific policies and proposals in the Neighbourhood Plan.

4.10 In analysing the consultation feedback it has to be noted that pressure groups formed to comment on specific issues, such as planning applications for particular development sites, used the Neighbourhood Plan as a focus for their opposition to particular development proposals. As a result the majorities supporting the

Page 12: Consultation Statement April 2013

Neighbourhood Plan were not as big as they had been at earlier stages in the consultation process.

4.11 The response to the question Do you think the draft Winsford Neighbourhood Plan will make Winsford the town you would like to see? was as follows: • Strongly agree – 13 • Agree – 36 • Neither agree nor disagree – 11 • Disagree – 16 • Strongly disagree – 23

Of 99 responses a majority (49) agreed with the proposed vision in the neighbourhood plan and 39 did not agree with it.

4.12 The response to the question Do you think the Neighbourhood Plan has the right key theme? was as follows: • Strongly agree – 21 • Agree – 37 • Neither agree nor disagree – 12 • Disagree – 11 • Strongly disagree – 18

Of 99 responses a majority (58) agreed that the themes in the neighbourhood plan were right and 29 did not agree.

4.13 The response to the question Do you think the view of Winsford’s future is right for the town? was as follows: • Strongly agree – 17 • Agree – 31 • Neither agree nor disagree – 10 • Disagree – 20 • Strongly disagree – 21

Of 99 responses a majority (48) agreed that the view of Winsford’s future in the neighbourhood plan was right and 41 did not agree.

4.14 Appendix C provides a numerical summary of the comments received on specific subject areas in the Neighbourhood Plan and Appendix D provides the specific comments and the response made to them. The main issues raised in these comments are summarised below.

• Process – There were expressions of concern about the prematurity of the Plan, saying that it should not be progressed in advance of the strategic Local Plan. There were also comments that the Plan had not been publicised in certain areas.

• Retail and Town Centre – There were five comments in support of the proposed improvement of the shopping centre. Two comments proposed that retail use be included in the proposals for sites TC10, TC11 and NTC7. Two further comments suggested car parking should be improved.

• Employment – Comments were received that there should be a detailed employment plan to expand existing employment, attract new employers, and provide better support facilities.

• Infrastructure – Comments were that additional infrastructure will be required to service the additional housing, including leisure, arts and sports facilities.

• Youth Centre – There were comments that there should be more youth provision. • Housing General – Concern was expressed that too much housing was proposed

especially on the outskirts of town and that brownfield land should be developed first.

Page 13: Consultation Statement April 2013

• Open Space / Recreation – Support was expressed for the proposal to create a circular walkway around the flashes.

• Sites NTC 1 and NTC 2 – Objections were raised to the proposed distributor road connecting Bradford Road and Grange Lane.

• Sites STC 2, STC 3 and STC 4 – Objections were raised to housing proposals on the west side of the flashes on the grounds that it would adversely affect the open countryside and local wildlife, and cause traffic congestion on surrounding roads.

• Station Quarter Sites S1, S2 S3, S4, and S5 – Objections were raised to the development of a new residential quarter around the railway station, on the grounds that it would adversely affect local countryside and local wildlife, block off views of the flashes, and bring large numbers of vehicles in the surrounding area.

How have the issues and concerns been considered and responded to? Process

4.15 In terms of prematurity, Department of Communities and Local Government advice confirms that Neighbourhood Plans can come ahead of Local Plans.

4.16 As soon as the Town Council became aware that the Winsford Voice did not appear to have been delivered in particular areas, the respective Town Councillor hand delivered additional copies in those areas and the consultation period was extended by another week.

4.17 We reviewed the comments made in response to the Regulation 14 consultation and continued with discussions with key landowners. The following changes were made to the plan:

Retail and Town Centre 4.18 The steering group agreed that the opportunity to regenerate the town centre would

be weakened if retail were allowed outside the town centre. TC10, TC11 and TC7 are not appropriate locations for retail. The Neighbourhood Plan has been clarified and a town centre boundary has been included.

4.19 The Neighbourhood Plan has been amended to require parking strategies that consider the vitality and viability of the town centre.

Employment 4.20 The Neighbourhood Plan is a planning policy document. As such it does not provide

detail at this stage, but instead sets up policy 'hooks' to secure more detailed plans at a later stage. For example, Policy E5 requires a comprehensively planned approach to the development of the allocated employment areas and sets out key design principles that must be considered. In addition, the employment chapter's objective relating to creating a variety of employment opportunities commits the Town Council to leading initiatives to improve employment. No changes proposed to the Neighbourhood Plan.

Infrastructure 4.21 At this point the exact additional demand for social and community facilities is not fully

understood. In addition to on-site provisions, the Neighbourhood Plan requires all residential development to make appropriate financial contributions towards off-site community and social facilities. A separate Delivery Strategy supports the Neighbourhood Plan. This will be updated at regular intervals during the lifetime of the Neighbourhood Plan and be used to secure provision of necessary infrastructure, including social and community facilities.  

Youth Centre 4.22 The Neighbourhood Plan promotes more leisure facilities for all sections of the

population. In addition to on-site provisions, the Neighbourhood Plan requires all

Page 14: Consultation Statement April 2013

residential development to make appropriate financial contributions for off-site community and social facilities. The Neighbourhood Plan has been amended to include a new policy that specifically supports the provision of Youth Facilities.

Housing general 4.23 The Neighbourhood Plan's strategy is to focus as much development as possible either

(i) within the built area of the town; or (ii) where it can be positively connected to the town's facilities (such as the Station Quarter). However, in order to meet the emerging Local Plan's requirements for new housing (and to reflect some existing planning permissions) some sites on the edge of Winsford have been allocated for development.

Sites NTC1 and NTC 2 4.24 The wording in the Neighbourhood Plan has been amended to include an assessment

of the impact of a new local road. The word 'distributor' has been removed as this implied a more major road than the Neighbourhood Plan had intended.

Sites STC2, STC3 and STC4 4.25 A key aim of the Neighbourhood Plan is to provide public access to the Bottom Flash,

thus opening up, as public open space an area that currently provides limited public access. The Neighbourhood Plan does not permit new development immediately adjacent to Bottom Flash, and allocates significant areas as green public open space. All development coming forward on sites are required to protect local ecology, provide habitats and enhance biodiversity. Further background studies, including Ecology Appraisals, Habitat Surveys and mitigations strategies as well as Transport Assessment and Travel Plan have been provided as part of the evidence base for the Neighbourhood Plan.

Station Quarter Sites S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 4.26 The Station Quarter has the potential to bring significant benefits to the town as the

whole, particularly providing a public open space adjacent to Bottom Flash and improving access to the Rail Station. In reflection of land ownerships and to ensure better public access to the Flashes the Neighbourhood Plan has been amended to double the amount of public open space adjacent to the Flashes and secure a public footpath / cycle route along its whole length. This, however, also leads to a small increase in development area.

The Neighbourhood Plan has also been amended to protect Rilshaw Lane as a local route with pedestrian/cycle and local access only. Traffic studies (included traffic impact assessment) will be required as part of any planning application for development coming forward.

Additional minor changes 4.27 In addition to the above following changes were made to the spatial vision to produce

the final plan for the Examination Version of the Neighbourhood Plan:

• The Hebden Green School and the Neuromuscluar Centre at Woodford Lodge (O3) have been taken out of the development site;

• The shading on STC 2 has been corrected to omit properties at the corner of Ways Green;

• The boundary of S1 has been amended to reflect land ownerships which leads to an allocation of more public open space and increase in development land;

• The Ford Garage site on Station Road (formerly referred to as W1) has been omitted; and

• Sites NT4 and TC 6 have been taken out of the Neighbourhood Plan as these are in current use and not available for development.

Page 15: Consultation Statement April 2013

4.28 As these changes are minor in nature, a further round of appraising the sustainability of the Neighbourhood Plan was not undertaken.

Page 16: Consultation Statement April 2013

5. CONCLUSION 5.1 The programme of community consultation carried out during the production of the

Winsford Neighbourhood Development Plan was extensive and varied. It reached a wide range of the local population and provided opportunities for many parts of the local community, including people of different ages and diverse social groups, to have an input or make comments on the draft Neighbourhood Plan.

5.2 The comments received in response to the consultation draft Neighbourhood Plan have been addressed in so far as they are practicable and compatible with the emerging Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan.

5.3 This Consultation Statement and the supporting consultation reports are considered to comply with Section 15(2) of part 5 of the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning Regulations.
