Neighbourhood Plan for Marbury, Norbury and Wirswall
This page is where you can find out how our Neighbourhood Plan is progressing and have your say.
Our Neighbourhood Plan
We are now ready to go the formal consultation stage in order to reach Regulation 16, which is the formal submission of our plan following public consultation (Regulation 14) to Cheshire East BC. This means that we are required to get feedback from our local community, organisations and businesses on the draft policies and from a list of statutory consultees.
The consultation period runs for 6 weeks in total from DD/MM/2026 to DD/MM/2026 (dates to be confirmed) . After the consultation period, any changes to the plan will be made. The final version will be submitted to a Planning Inspector appointed by Cheshire East Council. All representations will be carefully considered, summarised and published via a Consultation Statement on when the final version of the is submitted for inspection.
Our Neighbourhood Plan allows us to have a voice in the future planning of our community. The plan includes a description of our Parish, Vision and Objectives and detailed planning policies covering the protection of the countryside, heritage, housing, the local economy, building design, tourism, recreation and local telecommunications infrastructure.
Our plan is about ‘land use’, what the land is used for, what is supported (and what is not) and how any proposed development fits in to our environment and how it impacts the community and other matters requiring or affecting planning consent. Our plan does not and cannot cover issues or problems relating to the state of the roads, speed limits, litter, or public transport.
The Plan should be read in conjunction with the Marbury and District Design Code, Protecting and Enhancing Marbury’s Natural Environment and a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) produced by Cheshire East.
