WYBUNBURY WARD PARISHES April 2016 Responses to the Proposed Changes to the Submitted Local Plan Strategy (LPS) WYBUNBURY WARD PARISHES April 2016 Responses to the Proposed Changes to the Submitted Local Plan Strategy (LPS) Dear Sir In my role as Wybunbury Ward Councillor, I wish to make the following comments in response to proposed changes to the Local Plan Strategy. These comments are made following extensive discussions with:- A) The Wybunbury Ward Parish Councils 1. Wybunbury PC 2. Hough & Chorlton PC 3. Doddington & District PC (Doddington, Hunsterson, Bridgemere, Checkley, Blakenhall, Lea) 4. Hatherton & Walgherton PC 5. Weston PC (in relation to Wychwood Village that lies within the Wybunbury Ward boundary) B) The Wybunbury/Shavington Triangle Residents Group (A constituted group with 170+ members living in and alongside this SHLAA site) C) The Wychwood Community Group (A constituted group with 700 members comprising of residents in Wychwood Park and Wychwood Village). (NB: The Parish Councils and Residents Groups will also be submitting their own supporting statements highlighting their particular concerns, objections and compliments). Introduction to Wybunbury Ward The Wybunbury Ward is a very rural Ward in character, history, environment and culture. It is characterised by a number of small hamlets over a wide geographical area (hence the number of parished areas), and there are no Local Service Areas in the Ward. Its’ economy is based on agriculture and rural industry (eg; egg and cheese production, mixed arable) together with a small but vital tourist and visitor economy (eg:Dagfields; historic pubs, Bridgemere Garden Centre). So too it is the location of rare Meres and Mosses sites, including the Wybunbury Moss (an SSSI and RAMSAR site of both national and international importance and managed by Natural England). To the East of the Ward at Gorsty Hill, lie the Wychwood Park and Wychwood Village communities. These were designed as ‘concept developments’ with residential properties lying within Countryside Park areas and Golf courses. The Park is a gated community with a PGL standard golf course and Hotel whilst the Village and its Gorsty Hill Golf Course was designed for a more inclusive golf membership. Each hamlet or village has clearly defined settlement boundaries and lie within coterminous open countryside. In 2012/13 each parish completed a five-year housing needs survey for CEC, Weston PC is well advanced in developing its Neighbourhood Plan and the remaining Wybunbury Ward Parishes have been approved and registered with CEC as “The Combined Wybunbury Parishes Neighbourhood Plan Area” 1. General Overview We recognise the overall objectives of the Plan and there is much that the groups above commend and support in terms of the general principles of growth and regeneration, particularly of towns like Crewe and Nantwich. 2. Strategic Green Gap Policy PG 4a (SGG) We wholly support the SGG Policy BUT have severe concerns about and OBJECT to the limited extent of the SGG Area that CEC is requesting to be released to fulfil the requirements of this Plan. The proposed strategic green gaps are acceptable but are too limited and will not adequately address the stated purposes of Strategic Green Gaps (SSGs) which are to: i) Provide long-term protection against coalescence; 1 CLLR J. CLOWES: WYBUNBURY WARD: PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SUBMITTED LOCAL PLAN STRATEGY (16.04.2016) ii) Protect the setting and separate identity of settlements iii) Retain the existing settlement pattern by maintaining the openness of land. We acknowledge that it is proposed that Policy PG 5 (Open Countryside) is intended to apply within strategic green gaps however this fails to protect Open Countryside and rural communities that are currently adjacent to, and separated from areas of extensive urban and suburban development by physical infrastructure boundaries (such as roads and railway lines). Already significant areas within the SGG identified in the revised Local Plan document are already compromised by speculative (non-plan-led) developments that have been passed at Appeal. The rural character of the Wybunbury Ward has historically been maintained as separate from Shavington and Crewe by the Newcastle Road (the northern boundary of the Wybunbury Ward) and by the A531to the East. In this way Wychwood, Chorlton, Hough and Wybunbury were not initially exposed to urban / suburban sprawl or coalescence with other defined settlements. These physical infrastructure ‘barriers’ have however, already been breached by the inclusion of the Triangle Site in the SHLAA. This site has outline planning permission for 360 homes and the principle of development is accepted BUT Wybunbury Ward residents are deeply concerned that these physical boundaries must be protected if further coalescence is to be avoided. Shavington and the immediate environs of Crewe, (including Basford and the South Cheshire Growth Village) are already identified as strategic sites providing nearly 6,000 homes. If these sites are superimposed on the map illustrating the proposed Strategic Green Gaps (SGGs), much of the land (between Crewe Railway sidings, and the SGGs and in Shavington between the currently proposed SGGs and the Newcastle Road) is already subject to approved planning applications or are SHLAA sites. In addition other speculative developments have already been submitted that seek to ‘fill-in’ any remaining open countryside north of the Newcastle Road (eg at Weston). But of particular concern are those smaller applications that have already been approved south of the Newcastle Road – these directly compromise the rural character of the Wybunbury Ward and represent creeping suburban coalescence from Shavington into the Open Countryside. Again, of particular concern is the application for 900 homes east of the A531 at Wychwood Village, (Gorsty Hill Golf Course). Whilst we wholly endorse the Council’s decision NOT to include this as an appropriate strategic site in the Local Plan, the application has already been submitted and without an appropriately robust SGG policy that respects the physical boundaries that separate our communities, this site remains vulnerable at Appeal. With these issues in mind it is proposed that an enhanced Strategic Green Gap area is incorporated into the revised Local Plan. Additional areas to be included:- a) Remaining Open Countryside south of the current SGG proposal and to the NORTH of NEWCASTLE Road. This will include areas East of Shavington and to the South and South- East of Weston and Basford Parish. b) Land to the SOUTH of NEWCASTLE Road extending from Chorlton Lane (in the East) which lies adjacent the West Coast Mainline railway and the safeguarded land corridor relating to the proposed route of HS2. Extending westward from the railway line; o to include Hough Parish, Lea Parish and Walgherton Parish (North of the A51) (Hough Mill Quarry) o Wybunbury Parish (including the Wybunbury/Shavington Triangle) o Willaston Parish (south of the Newcastle Road) o Stapeley Parish (East of Peter de Stapleigh Way 2 CLLR J. CLOWES: WYBUNBURY WARD: PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SUBMITTED LOCAL PLAN STRATEGY (16.04.2016) Rationale for the inclusion of this enhanced SGG Area:- 1. The extended SGG in this area will enhance the robustness of Policy 5: Open Countryside. (The current CEC SSG proposal is inadequate to maintain the stated principles of SSGs which in turn, compromise the effectiveness of Policy 5). 2. The extended SGG east of Weston Village and extending south along the Westcoast Mainline will effectively encapsulate Wychwood Village and Wychwood Park between the new SGG and Green Belt. The Golf Courses, Hotel, Country Park Areas, PROW and ecological havens provided in these two developments will then be able to continue to provide essential leisure and recreation opportunities for residents both living within the Wychwood Community and those visiting from the rest of South Cheshire. These important facilities, already identified by CEC as Registered Public Open Spaces, will benefit from a more robust Policy 5: Open Countryside. 3. The extended SGG will maintain the rural settlement pattern of small villages and hamlets that characterise South Cheshire, providing a sense of separation from larger urban neighbours, whilst enabling the extended SGG Area to provide essential leisure, recreation and tourist opportunities for local residents, that are easily accessible for a growing Crewe & Nantwich and North Staffordshire population. - This area supports a wealth of Public Rights of Way including the South Cheshire Way, the Crewe & Nantwich Circular Walk, the National Cycling Network Route 70, Bridlepaths and the Wybunbury Moss Circular Path. - Weston Village, Hough and Wybunbury offer several historic public houses that provide important destination points for these villages and the visitor economy. - Wybunbury Village has an extensive conservation zone that protects its medieval history, two of its public houses and the famous Wybunbury Tower. 4. The extended SGG Area will help maintain its defining characteristics; for example : - Two Scheduled Monument sites (SM13439 & SM 13438): Medieval Moated sites. - Many sites of biological interest (SBI) including Hough Common, Hough Mere, Cobbs Moss, Wybunbury Mere. - Wybunbury Moss (considered to be the finest example of a ‘Schwingmor’ Moss in Britain) is SSSI, RAMSAR and SPR listed. These sites are managed by Natural England and are highly vulnerable to the impact of even low-impact development. (as recognised by two recent applications to the west of the Wybunbury Moss that were refused by Natural England

    Application No: 12/1349N Location: HUNSTERSON FISHERIES, LAND OFF BIRCHALL MOSS LANE, HUNSTERSON, NANTWICH, CHESHIRE, CW5 7PH Proposal: Proposed Fishermans Retreat Building Applicant: MR F STRICKLAND Expiry Date: 27-Jun-2012 SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE subject to conditions Main issues: • The principle of the development • The impact of the design • The impact upon neighbouring amenity • The impact upon protected species REASON FOR REFERRAL Councillor J. Clowes has called in this application to Southern Planning Committee for the following reasons: • ‘Inappropriate and unsustainable intensification of activity on agricultural land in the open countryside. • Inappropriate size, structure and materials of the proposed building. • Consequent visual intrusion on a green field site in the open countryside. • Hazardous entry and exit to and from the site on Bridgemere Lane. • Inadequate preparation in terms of siting and management of proposed septic tank foul drainage system. • Current informal ‘presumptive’ car parking arrangements are inadequate for the numbers of vehicles proposed in this application.’ DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND CONTEXT The application site relates to land to the south of Bridgemere Lane, Hunsterson, Nantwich within the Open Countryside. The land relates to a section of open paddock adjacent to a large fishing pond set approximately 150 metres to the south of the road. Currently on site is an unauthorised touring caravan which appears to be being used as a makeshift ‘fisherman’s hut’. DETAILS OF PROPOSAL Revised plans have been submitted for the erection of a purpose built fisherman’s hut. The proposed unit would measure approximately 6.6 metres in length, 5 metres in width and would have a pitched roof approximately 4.1 metres in height from ground floor level.

  • Audlem Doddington Wybunbury Parish Profile
    THE BENEFICE OF AUDLEM, DODDINGTON AND WYBUNBURY. The benefice was created in February 2010. Prior to that Doddington and Wybunbury were linked but Audlem was a single parish church. On the retirement of the incumbent at Wybunbury and Doddington, the benefice was created with the in situ incumbent for Audlem being appointed Vicar to the 3 churches. Since this time, the churches have retained their own identities, services and PCC’s but also work well together. People do support events at each of the churches. 2 Lay Readers work across all 3 churches, one retired priest supports services in Audlem, the other is at Doddington most weeks with occasional services in Wybunbury. It is located near to main line train services in Crewe, close to junction 16 of the M6. What we offer to our new incumbent • welcoming and supportive congregations and communities ● our prayerful support and encouragement ● our respect for your home life, your prayer life and encouragement and support to take holidays and regular time off each week ● the support of 2 retired Priests on a regular basis, 2 Lay Readers, strong PCC’s and experienced Church Wardens. Also many volunteers are willing to lead intercessions or read in church and a group take part in ‘open the book’ school worship. ● excellent and close links with 4 caring and effective C of E primary schools ● a church band at Wybunbury that enhances worship in a modern designed church. A singing group and musicians group at Audlem. Organists in each church. ● a large 4-bedroom modern purpose-built vicarage with good size garden adjacent to St.

  • C/R/D Summary Skeleton Document
    Application No: 14/0128N Location: Land to the north of Main Road, Wybunbury Proposal: Outline planning application with all matters reserved (apart from access) for up to 40 dwellings, incidental open space, landscaping and associated ancillary works. Applicant: The Church Commissioners for England Expiry Date: 10-Mar-2015 SUMMARY The proposed development would be contrary to Policy NE.2 and RES.5 and the development would result in a loss of open countryside. In this case Cheshire East cannot demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable housing sites. However, as Wybunbury Moss is identified as a Special Area of Conservation and a Ramsar Site the NPPF states that Wybunbury Moss should be given the same protection as a European site and an assessment under the Habitats Directives is required. As a result the presumption in favour of sustainable development (paragraph 14 of the NPPF) does not apply to this application. In this case specific policies in this Framework indicate development should be restricted on this site and as such the application is recommended for refusal due to its impact upon Wybunbury Moss. RECOMMENDATION REFUSE REASON FOR REFERRAL This application is referred to Strategic Planning Board as it includes an Environmental Statement. The application is also subject to a call in request from Cllr Clowes which requests that the application is referred to Committee for the following reasons: ‘This application has been brought to my attention by Wybunbury Parish Council and Hough and Chorlton Parish Council, together with the adjacent neighbours and the Wybunbury Moss Voluntary Warden. All parties object to this application on the following material grounds:- 1.

  • Wybunbury Parish Council Comments to the Proposed Changes to the Submitted Local Plan
    Wybunbury Parish Council Comments to the Proposed Changes to the Submitted Local Plan Wybunbury PC wishes to make comment on the following to items. 1.0 The allocation of housing proposed in the submitted local plan for the Wybunbury/Shavington Triangle. 2.0 The Provision of a Green Belt/Green Gap for the area enclosed between the A51 & the Newcastle Rd from the Cheer brook Roundabout. 1.0 Wybunbury/ Shavington Triangle. The parish council contends that the total number of properties proposed in the revised local plan (400), contradicts its self in that the land shown on the plan is less than the original submission by the developer & approved by the strategic planning committee (360) for the reduced area now shown on the plan. This level of density was considered by the planning officer to be the correct density considering it is on edge of the current developed area & that the site is with in an existing outer edge development & needs to show sympathy & character to the existing perimeter properties which are a mixture of detached & semi-detached houses & bungalows. The housing density of the approved application (currently under construction) was considered at some length, at that time, by the Cheshire East Design Officer and Flood & Drainage Officer (in accordance with NPPF paras: 61, 66) where the significant constraints of this frequently water-logged green field site require robust SUDS systems, water storage and green corridor solutions. Density and housing design (specifically greater height of buildings towards the center of the site with lower level homes towards the site perimeters were expressly chosen “…to respond to local character and history, and reflect the identity of local surroundings and materials” (NPPF: para 58, bullet 4).

Discover historical buildings, old battle sites and learn how people use to live. The route starts in the picturesque village of Weston. One of the oldest buildings in Weston is the White Lion Pub, built in 1652. The bar is the original inglenook fireplace. Hough Common is very good for wildlife. Gypsies used to camp here when traveling from one fair to the next. At night they would sit around the fire making multicoloured pegs which the women then sold to the local villagers. Wybunbury is one of Cheshire’s oldest villages. The parish church of St. Chad has been in existence since the 7th century and was named after a Celtic bishop of Lichfield. The leaning 15th century tower has been straightened several times to combat the effects of subsidence, leading to a common saying, ‘as crooked as Winbury steeple’. Nearby are the remains of two moated houses which were used as ‘safe houses’ for visiting clergy from Lichfield. A hermit name Nicholas Baker supposedly lived close to the church in the 15th century.
