Response to the New Local Plan Review

Chester Civic Trust has responded to the call from Cheshire West and Chester Council for comments around the Local Plan Review. The Government has recently re-introduced mandatory housing targets on local authorities, meaning that Cheshire West and Chester Council is required to demonstrate it can provide for 29,000 new dwellings between 2025 and 2030. This represents a significant increase on the current plan provision.

A link to our submission is here.                    More information about the Council’s Local Plan Review is here.

The lecture took place at the Grosvenor Museum Lecture Theatre.
