This letter relates to this document and sets out information relating to compliance with the duty to co-operate. Evidence of co-operation and consultation Cheshire West and Chester Council has worked with and informed Cheshire East Council during the preparation of the Local Plan. Examples of co-operation and consultation include: Meetings held between planning policy officers (Cheshire East and Warrington) on 12 November 2012, 22 January 2013, 5 March 2013 and 7 October 2013 where issues discussed included: 12 November 2012 Working with the Local Enterprise Partnership in the light of proposals for sub- regional evidence base. Green Belt – discussed latest approaches to Green belt reviews in Cheshire East and Cheshire West. Middlewich – linkages with proposals in Winsford and potential need to pursue transport improvements between Winsford and M6 (via Middlewich). Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation – noting the brief being developed for joint GTAA (including Cheshire East, Cheshire West, Halton and Warrington). Minerals and Waste – considered future possibility of some joint working between Cheshire East and Cheshire West. Landscape Character – Cheshire East undertaking some borough wide work. Cheshire West also looking to commission some work in early 2013. 22 January 2013 Working with the Local Enterprise Partnership in the light of proposals for sub- regional evidence base. Green Belt – not considered to be any strategic / cross boundary issues in latest Core Strategy work. Middlewich – meeting needed as soon as possible between Cheshire East and Cheshire West to discuss growth and cross boundary issues. Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation – brief for joint GTAA awaiting sign off Minerals and Waste – further discussion on possibility of some joint working using resources currently in place at Cheshire West. Update on Winsford Neighbourhood Plan consultation which had recently closed. HS2 – announcement imminent with associated route North of Birmingham. 5 March 2013 Discussion of how Middlewich should be treated in both Local Plans given its location at the boundary of the two authorities. Improvements to west-east links through Winsford discussed Sources of funding for future schemes discussed Approach to waste planning in each Local Plan discussed CWAC re-iterated that comments had been made through the consultation on the development strategy that if CE approach to waste planning was to look to use facilities in Cheshire West then this needs to be discussed formally Both authorities need to be aware of findings in each others HRA documents. CWAC have made HRA consultants aware of CE document which will be taken into account in the preparation of the HRA for the Publication Draft Plan. 7 October 2013 Middlewich – discussion of policy approach set out in Cheshire West Publication Draft Local Plan noting further work to be undertaken to inform policy that would feature in Local Plan (Part 2) in due course. Noted progress on Gypsy and Traveller Assessment evidence base. Waste management issues discussed between Cheshire West and Cheshire East. Cheshire West’s set out position that the Publication Draft plan is seeking to ensure the borough meets its own needs and the approach does not rely on provision of waste management capacity in other local authority areas. However, the approach recognises that there are cross boundary flows of waste in both directions between Cheshire West and Chester and neighbouring areas and further afield reflecting the market for waste management which is a key driver for the pattern of waste movements. Agreed that Cheshire East will need to ensure that they are satisfied that they can develop a policy approach in their plan to reflect the position of Cheshire West. Housing/economic issues touched on latest position on housing land supply and general observations on meeting objectively assessed need. Consultation letters were sent out to your organisation at the following key stages of preparation of the Local Plan: o Core Strategy Topic Papers o Issues and Options o Development Options o Preferred Policy Directions o Draft Publication Plan consultation We have used the comments you submitted to us previously to inform relevant planning policy. Specific meetings with Cheshire East were held to discuss minerals and waste policy matters on 17 November 2010, 13 March 2013 and 21 May 2013. In addition, duty to cooperate matters were discussed at the North West Waste Network meetings on 30 January 2013, 22 May 2013 and 25 September 2013. Moreover, meetings have taken place between the two authorities on matters pertaining to Middlewich on 26 June 2012 and 5 March 2013. Please confirm whether you agree with the evidence listed above and let us know if you have any information to add to the list. Strategic, cross-boundary issues The table below lists the key, strategic, cross-boundary issues that are considered to be relevant to your organisation. It also identifies how issues have been resolved, any remaining issues and how they are being dealt with. Strategic issues How issues have been resolved How remaining issues are being dealt with Proposed Housing Evidence base that supports the Figures (22,000 from Publication Draft Local Plan sets 2010-2030) – ensuring out rationale that Cheshire West no impact in terms of and Chester has undertaken an housing requirements for objectively assessment of housing Cheshire East need in the borough and consequently has no need to rely on Cheshire East to meet any of Cheshire West and Chester’s housing requirement.

Please confirm whether you agree with the contents of the table and whether you have any suggested amendments or additions. We recognise minerals and waste matters as strategic issues for the two authorities. Liaison has taken place on these matters at the Duty to Co-operate meeting held and the North West Waste Network Meetings (formerly the North West Regional Technical Advisory Body for Waste) and the North West Aggregate Working Party. We do not consider there to be any specific matters in relation to minerals and waste between the authorities at this time. Cheshire West and Chester will make provision for the adequate, steady and sustainable supply of sand, gravel, salt and brine contributing to the sub-national guidelines for aggregate land won sand and gravel whilst ensuring the prudent use of our important natural finite resources. The sub regional guidelines for aggregate land won sand and gravel being used are the agreed North West Aggregate Working Party aggregate apportionment requirements 2005-2020. The Council’s approach to planning for waste management is to ensure that there is sufficient provision to deal with all types

    Access to the countryside without the car One issue to which the Forum has not given much attention hitherto is ensuring that the Cheshire countryside is accessible to all residents and visitors irrespective of their means of travel.
