Local Plan Strategy

The Local Plan Strategy sets out the Council's case for sustainable economic growth and is the strategy that the Council wants to adopt to manage development in Cheshire East up to 2030.

Following publication of the 'Local Plan Strategy- Submission Version' and accompanying documents, representations were invited for six weeks from 14th March 2014 to 5:00pm on 25th April 2014.

The Local Plan Strategy and all associated documents, including the comments received during the representation period, were submitted to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on 20th May 2014 in preparation for independent examination.

The attached 'Notice of Submission' provides further information and lists the documents that are available for inspection, along with the venues – click on PDF above to open this document.

The Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy will now be subject to an independent examination to be conducted by the Planning Inspectorate. Inspector Stephen Pratt BA (Hons) MRTPI has been appointed to conduct the examination to determine whether the Local Plan
Strategy is sound. The Programme Officer for the examination is Miss Kerry Trueman.

The examination is a continuous process running from submission through to the receipt of the Inspector's report. Part of the process will involve hearing sessions where those invited to attend, will have the opportunity to respond to matters raised by the Inspector.

Once information on the hearing sessions is confirmed, all details relating to the examination process will be advertised and made available online. Six weeks before the examination starts you will be provided with details of the time and the place of
the examination.
