The Parish Council was recently informed of the government’s proposal to designate the former Adlington Hall Estate as the site for one of its planned ‘New Towns’, comprising approximately 14,000 to 20,000 new dwellings. Although the proposed development site is not immediately adjacent to Pott Shrigley, its establishment will have a significant impact on our parish and surrounding communities. The council is totally opposed to this development particularly as the land is good agricultural land, designated Green Belt and is of significant historic importance.
Both Tim Roca MP and Cheshire East Council have expressed their surprise at this announcement, with Mr Roca formally stating his opposition to the proposed development.
At its September meeting, attended by approximately 50–60 members of the public, the Parish Council provided an opportunity for residents and interested parties to express their views. The Council will continue to liaise closely with neighbouring parish councils, Cheshire East Council, and our Member of Parliament to ensure that the views and concerns of the community are fully represented as the situation develops.
Further information will be made available on this website as it emerges.
