Chester MP Stephen Mosley has called for Chester’s Greenbelt to be protected in his response to Cheshire West & Chester’s Local Plan consultation.

The draft Local Plan calls for 22,000 new homes to be developed over the next 20 years.

However, Stephen Mosley has written to the council to say that this target does not reflect the assessment of local housing need and that our housing needs can be met without developing the Greenbelt.
