We have consulted widely with the local community to make sure your views are heard and to help us to focus our efforts on improving the environment. This Plan will help to strengthen and build partnerships with other local groups and organisations so that we can all work together to achieve a better environment for present and future generations. The issues which are highlighted in this Plan have developed from those raised in the Weaver/Dane LEAP Consultation Report and work is timetabled over the next five years. Annual reviews will provide a chance to review and add new issues and monitor the progress made towards our goals. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the consultation process. Issues will take time to resolve and new issues will come to our attention during the lifetime of this Plan. However we now have in place an agenda of integrated action which can achieve real benefits for the whole community. George Ager Area Manager South DATE DUE GAYLORD PRINTED IN U A A .

  • 14/2714N Location: Former Hack Green RAF Camp, Coole Lane
    Application No: 14/2714N Location: Former Hack Green RAF Camp, Coole Lane, Hack Green, Austerson, Nantwich, Cheshire, CW5 8AS Proposal: Change of use of land to provide 9 yards for 10 travelling showpeople's families, formation of roads and hard surfacing. Applicant: The Hack Green Group Expiry Date: 02-Sep-2014 REASON FOR REPORT The proposal is a major application which requires a committee decision. SUMMARY The application site is not in a sustainable location, and has limited access to public transport. There will be harm to the character and appearance of this rural area arising from the substantial numbers of vehicles, caravans and trailers, which cannot be mitigated by the proposed landscaping scheme particularly in the short to medium term and especially during the winter months. In addition, there will be harm to the living conditions of neighbouring properties arising from the comings and goings associated with the proposed use that may occur at all times of the night. The 2014 GTTSAA identifies a need for 13 extra plots for travelling showpeople in Cheshire East to 2028. In addition, the Council’s own site identification study identified the application site as the only potential site that could accommodate some of that plot requirement. There are no current available alternatives. These factors carry positive weight in the consideration of the proposal. However, the harm identified is considered to outweigh the benefits of the proposal, which is not considered to be a sustainable form of development. Consequently, there is not considered to be any overriding public interest in granting the proposal and therefore the disturbance to Great Crested Newts cannot be justified under the terms of the Habitats Directive.

  • Access Statement
    This access statement does not contain personal opinions as to our suitability for those with access needs, but aims to accurately describe the facilities and services that we offer all our guests/visitors. Access Statement for Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker Introduction Situated in the Cheshire countryside, 3 miles from the small market town of Nantwich, Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a museum based in a former secret civil defence nuclear bunker. The museum is primarily concerned with the Cold War and the history of the site. The museum is situated at the end of a small lane and is not accessible from public transport. The museum is based on two floors with the lower floor only being accessible via two stairwells. One is slightly wider with more areas to stop so may be more easily managed by some visitors. There are 30 steps to the lower floor. To gain access to the top floor there is a large concrete ramp and a set of 16 shallow steps. The ramp might be considered steep by some visitors, if you require assistance you can call the team inside the bunker directly on 01270 623353 who will come out and assist immediately. There are also braille and tactile markers on the stairs side the building. The tour is self-guided and takes are 2 hours to complete. There are many places to stop and sit down on comfortable chairs. There is a canteen and shop on the top floor with a hearing loop installed at reception. We provide hot and cold drinks and some snacks but cannot provide hot meals or sandwiches.

  • Walking the Past Step Back in Time and Explore the Olde Worlde Villages Around Crewe and Nantwich
    Walking the Past Step back in time and explore the olde worlde villages around Crewe and Nantwich. Grade Long distance Distance 17km/10.5miles Time 5-7 hours Acton Church, on the number 84 Crewe to Chester bus Start route. Map OS Explorer 257 & 267 Fairly level terrain, mainly over public rights of way across Terrain fields, with some country lanes. Barriers Each section has numerous stiles. Toilets Nantwich Town Centre. Contact Tel: 01270 686029 Route Details Step back in time and explore the ‘olde worlde’ villages around Crewe and Nantwich. 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.
