Neston Local Plan Consultation

Cheshire West and Chester Council (CW&C) are running a first stage consultation to produce a new Local Plan. You can read and comment on the consultation at the CW&C consultation website - submissions for this initial consultation close on 29th August.. The Parkgate Society will be responding to this and we encourage all members to participate in this consultation as well.

They are looking for feedback on:
- whether they have identified the right issues
- which options are best to address these issues
- their suggested policy changes
- three possible strategy options for how the area could grow

A key part of the Local Plan is the proposal on the development / growth of Neston and the surrounding areas. There are three options under review:
Option A: To retain the Green Belt
Option B: To follow current Local Plan level and distribution of development
Option C: To build sustainable transport corridors

You can find The Parkgate Society’s draft response to the Local Plan proposals in the link below. You are welcome to copy and make use of parts or all of this for your response. it is important that as many people as possible provide feedback on the Local Plan.

Dee Coastal Area of Special County ValuE

In June 2017 Cheshire West produced a document on Local Landscape Designations: Areas of Special County Value which highlights the importance of the three Dee Coastal Areas, including Parkgate - see pages 19 - 25 of the document . The local areas under consideration for development are part of the green belt land surrounding this Dee Coastal Area and its landscapes.

OUR Vision FOR Parkgate

In 2020 The Parkgate Society produced ‘Our Vision for Parkgate – 2020 to 2030’ in collaboration with our local authorities. The objective was to identify areas of improvement which would benefit local residents and visitors alike, bearing in mind the importance of the visitor economy to the Parkgate area. In 2025 we are now half way through that original Vision period (2020 -2030), so The Society has taken the opportunity to review, update on the progress and to ensure it is relevant for the rest of the decade.
