Topic Paper Is to Provide Background Information for the Cheshire West and Chester Core Strategy Summary The purpose of this topic paper is to provide background information for the Cheshire West and Chester Core Strategy. The topic paper relates to the Northwich and Rural North Area Partnership Board (APB) area. The APB areas have been used as a basis for the topic papers as monitoring information has been collected for these areas. Northwich and the Rural North is located in the north east of Cheshire West and Chester. Northwich is the major town in the area. Settlements within the rural north include Frodsham, Helsby, Kingsley and Norley. Settlements in the urban area include Weaverham, Barnton, Davenham, Leftwich, Hartford and Rudheath which have strong connections with Northwich. National regional and local context The key reports, plans and policies relating to the Northwich and Rural North area are: North West of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 (2008) Adopted Vale Royal Borough Local Plan First Review Alteration (2006) Vale Royal Supplementary Planning Documents: SPD1 Affordable Housing, SPD2 Managing Housing Land Supply, SPD3 Developer Contributions, SPD4 Landscape Character and Wind Turbine Sensitivity, SPD5 Landscape Character Vale Royal Draft Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (2008) Cheshire West and Chester Employment Land Study (in draft) Cheshire Local Transport Plan 2006-2011 Cheshire Replacement Minerals Local Plan (1999) Cheshire Replacement Waste Local Plan (2007) Northwich Vision Interim Planning Guidance (2004) Cheshire Town Centre Study (2006) Cheshire West and Chester Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (2008) Winsford Area Flood Risk Assessment (in draft) Northwich Area Flood Risk Assessment - February 2009 A number of Village Design Statement and Conservation Area Appraisals are also relevant to the area. Context and Characteristics Northwich is the major town in the area, providing shops and services for people in the town and surrounding settlements. The surrounding area, known as 'Rural North' is characterised by open countryside, farmland and small villages. The market town of Frodsham lies to the west of the area which has developed to become a distinctive and attractive market town, with a mixture of historic buildings and independent traders. Delamere Forest is a popular tourist destination, providing opportunities for outdoor activities. Other attractions to the area include the Salt Museum in Northwich, the Anderton Boat lift linking the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal, the Lion Salt works museum in Marston and the Marbury Country Park. Cheshire West and Chester Local Development Framework | Topic Paper - 1 Northwich and Rural North Northwich Vision A regeneration framework has been developed named Northwich Vision which sets out a clear, ambitious yet achievable strategy for the renaissance of Northwich town centre. The strategy builds upon the analysis, research and community engagement which has been undertaken in recent years. The Northwich Vision identifies a series of exciting development projects throughout the town centre. Development potential will be released as a result of mine stabilisation works providing a unique opportunity to reposition Northwich as a key town within Cheshire and the North West. Frodsham Forward The Frodsham Forward Partnership was created in January 2003 as part of the national Market Towns Initiative. The community-led partnership was tasked with undertaking a "Health-check" to create a clear picture of the current situation (economically, socially and environmentally) in Frodsham, Helsby and the surrounding parishes. In addition to this, The Market Towns Initiative, part funded by the NWDA will develop and market Frodsham as part of a national drive to revitalise market towns as hubs for their local rural economies. Key Facts and Figures Northwich and Rural North had a population of 68,300 in 2007 which represents about 21% of the population of Cheshire West and Chester. Northwich had a population of 43,600 and Rural North had a population of 24,700. The population of Northwich and Rural North is expected to increase by about 5% between 2006 and 2016 according to the council's forecasts. Northwich and Rural North had lower proportions of 20-34 year olds and higher proportions of those aged over 35 than England and Wales. This trend was more pronounced in the Rural North. The 2007 IMD update identified Leftwich, Rudheath and Witton L3 LSOA as the 10th most deprived in Cheshire West and Chester. 4 LSOAs in Northwich and Rural North were in the top 20% most multiply deprived LSOA's nationally. The largest sector of housing in Northwich and Rural North were in Council Tax bands A to C (below the average band D) in 2007. The greatest proportion of houses in bands A to C was Leftwich, Rudheath and Witton (100%). The greatest proportion of houses in bands E to I was Hartford and Kingsmead (77%) (Department for Communities and Local Government, and Valuation Office Agency). At April 2009, the unemployment rate in Northwich and Rural North was 3.6% which was the same as the rate in Cheshire West and Chester. Unemployment rates for Northwich were similar to those for England (NOMIS Official Labour Market Statistics). In 2008, average household income in Northwich and Rural North APB was £36,700, which was 3% above that for Cheshire West and Chester, and 7% above the GB average. Lowest average household income was in Leftwich, Rudheath and Witton (£29,600) and highest was in Hartford and Kingsmead (£50,200) which was also the highest in Cheshire West and Chester (Source: CACI PayCheck 2008). Overall, Northwich has an attractive and distinctive shopping environment, where comparison and convenience retail sectors are well represented in terms of unit numbers and total floorspace. Qualitatively, however, the comparison shopping offer in Northwich is poor catering for the lower end of the market. The quality and range of nightlife, entertainment and recreational facilities in Northwich also needs improvement (source: WYG 2006). 2 Cheshire West and Chester Local Development Framework | Topic Paper - Northwich and Rural North Frodsham is an important centre serving principally local shopping needs. The majority of retail floorspace in the centre is occupied by convenience traders. Frodsham is accessible by a range of means of transport and has a centrally located railway station. Northwich and Rural North is well served by a network of major roads with strong links particularly to Manchester. The Mid-Cheshire Railway Line and the North Cheshire line serve the area. Local bus services in the Northwich area provide frequent links within Northwich and Chester as well as surrounding towns and villages. A number of National Cycle Network routes also pass through the Northwich and Rural North area. Northwich and Winsford have been identified as towns that are at risk of flooding and also part of large scale regeneration programmes. Area Flood Risk Assessments have been undertaken to look at this issue. Key Issues The key issues for the Northwich and Rural North area are: Addressing deprivation in urban areas Regeneration of Northwich through the Northwich Vision Addressing flood risk Delivering the Market Town Initiative within Frodsham Capacity of infrastructure in the area Improving access to services and employment Reducing car dependency Preserving the character of rural areas whilst still meeting the needs of local communities Providing for the housing needs in the area, including affordable housing Cheshire West and Chester Local Development Framework | Topic Paper - 3 Northwich and Rural North 1 Introduction 5 2 National, regional and local context 7 3 Context and characteristics 9 4 Key issues 20 5 Definitions/glossary 22 Cheshire West and Chester Local Development Framework | Topic Paper - Northwich and Rural North 1 Introduction 1.1 The purpose of this topic paper is to provide background information for the Cheshire West and Chester Core Strategy. The topic paper relates to the Northwich and Rural North Area Partnership Board (APB) area. The APB areas have been used as a basis for the topic papers as monitoring information has been collected for these areas. 1.2 The Northwich and Rural North APB area is shown on the map below. The M56 boarders the area to the north and passes through the western extent of the area. Northwich is the major town in the area. Frodsham, a smaller market town lies in the north western part of the area with smaller settlements including Hartford to the south east, Weaverham to the south and Helsby in the west. The area has strong links with the town of Winsford to the south and Ellesmere Port to the west. Map 1.1 Northwich and Rural North Area Partnership Board Area 1.3 The main town in the area is Northwich. Northwich's history as a settlement can be dated back to 70AD with the inhabitation and establishment of forts by Romans within town. It has only been since the 18th Century however that the noticeable growth and development of the town has taken place. The discovery of rock salt deposits in 1670 led to the development of Northwich as Cheshire's main salt manufacturing town. Extensive industrial areas in Winnington and Lostock surround the town centre. Subsidence as a result of Northwich's salt industry has historically caused severe problems within the town, with the creation of flashes to the north, limitations on development in the town centre, and the loss of many buildings and structures. Cheshire West and Chester Local Development Framework | Topic Paper - 5 Northwich and Rural North 1.4 In recent years, Northwich has become recognised as a key town within the North West Region. In 2004, the 'Northwich Vision' was launched, a 15 to 20 year regeneration framework that includes proposals for 19 individual sites within the town aimed at delivering a mixture of residential, retail, leisure, employment and tourism facilities and benefits. This regeneration is possible due to the completion in November 2007 of a £32 million land stabilisation project to fill the abandoned salt mines underneath the town centre.

This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

  • Lct 5: Undulating Enclosed Farmland
    LCT 5: UNDULATING ENCLOSED FARMLAND General Description This character type is defined by undulating topography and the associated small to medium scale enclosure into which it is divided. Key characteristics are the generally cohesive and un-fragmented historic landscape in the south of the borough, small woodlands, ponds and streams, nucleated rural villages and scattered farmsteads. Land use is mainly pasture. Away from main roads, railways and settlement the landscape is generally quiet and rural. Views within this type very much depend upon location and the nature of the immediate topography. There is a range of monuments from Bronze Age barrows to post medieval canal locks. The character type is found across a large part of the Cheshire West and Chester borough; to the east between Northwich and the Sandstone Ridge and in the south of the borough. Visual Character The location of this landscape type is reflected in the prevailing views which extend to adjacent character areas, either out over the low-lying plain or up towards the often dominant Sandstone Ridge. Roads typically follow the rolling topography, offering extensive views from high vantage points out over the immediate field pattern and extending to the high ground in the far distance such as the Pennines in the east. Long distance views are sometimes affected by large scale industrial works in adjacent areas. LCT 5: Undulating Enclosed Farmland 138 From low ground the landscape appears smaller in scale due to the increase in enclosure and the contained views where skylines are typically formed by hedgerow trees, woodland and farmsteads, with occasional electricity pylons and church spires.
