The urgent need for action against climate change is paramount. Example District's Climate Action Strategy is commendable and essential for sustainable development. We must transition to renewable energy and adapt to environmental changes for our community's resilience.

Thank you for your representation.

The proposal's implementation plans for achieving net-zero emissions are deemed overly optimistic and lack details. It fails to consult adequately with local communities, particularly disadvantaged areas that will bear the burden of change. More robust resident engagement is needed to create an effective strategy.

The strategy lacks inclusivity and social justice considerations. It should engage diverse community groups in decision-making to avoid further marginalisation, fostering greater trust through community-led initiatives.

Thank you for your comment. The plan has been trough an EQIA and found to be inclusive.

Concerns about the feasibility of the net-zero targets arise, with the strategy appearing disconnected from local contexts. A tailored approach addressing the unique resources and needs of different neighbourhoods is essential to avoid adding pressure on vulnerable groups.

A viability assessment has been undertaken to determine the feasibility of the net zero targets identified in the plan.

The strategy's lack of quantitative targets and accountability may lead to vague outcomes rather than concrete progress. Establishing monitoring measures and independent oversight is critical for community trust and transparency throughout the process.

6 Cheshire
West and Chester Council Local Plan (Part One) Strategic Policies
Annual Monitoring Report - this will assess the progress of the delivery of the Local Plan and its
supporting documents and review policy effectiveness
The Local Plan is also supported by a set of evidence base documents which provide a comprehensive
and robust set of background information. This has been used to inform the preparation of the policies
in the Local Plan. A list of all evidence base documents is provided in Appendix E 'Evidence base'.
Relationship to Neighbourhood Plans
Neighbourhood plans are community-led frameworks for guiding how future development will take place
in an area. Neighbourhood plans must be in general conformity with the strategic policies in the Local
Plan. There are currently in the order of 20 communities within the borough that are preparing
neighbourhood plans and another ten communities considering preparing a neighbourhood plan. Once
the process of preparing a neighbourhood plan is successfully completed for a community, the policies
within it will form part of the development plan for that area.
Relationship to other Council plans and strategies
The Local Plan is a key Council document. It is the spatial expression of the borough's priorities and
development needs going forward. It provides the planning framework to support the priorities identified
in other Council plans and programmes including the Council's Corporate Plan (Altogether Better, the
Council Plan 2011 - 2015), the Sustainable Community Strategy and other Council strategies covering
regeneration, housing, climate change, environment and waste.
The first Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) for Cheshire West and Chester was prepared in 2010
(Together we can aim high, Sustainable Community Strategy 2010-2026) and was refreshed in July
2012 (Altogether Better: An interim partnership plan, July 2012). The Interim Partnership Plan was
prepared jointly by the Local Strategic Partnership (West Cheshire Together) and the Health and
Wellbeing Board for Cheshire West and Chester. The document builds upon the first SCS and sets out
how to make a real difference to the well-being of our communities over the period to 2017.
The Council and its partners are also working as one of the Government's pilot areas to deliver a whole
place community budget, Altogether Better West Cheshire. The vision is to deliver the highest quality
of life in the UK to West Cheshire residents, creating more outcome focused services for our customers
and delivering the right services, in the right place at the right time.
