As you will already know from our most recent newsletter, the council are proposing to build 1300 houses on the land behind Westminster Park up to the Chester Business Park – shown in the outlined red area of 
this map. This proposal is part of the draft ‘Cheshire West & Chester Local Plan’.
The draft plan, supporting documents and response form can be viewed on CWaC’s Local Plan Consultation Portal , at CWaC offices and customer service centres (including HQ, Nicholas Street, Chester and The Forum Offices, Chester) and at any public library
The Westminster Park Residents Association has compiled a response to the plan, which we think fails the test of ‘soundness’.
Our response is attached here:
Please use our draft document as a guide, or use parts of it to formulate your own response (or ‘representation’), using the official form attached here:
Representations must be made on the official response form and received by 5pm on Friday, 1 November 2013.
