The Local Plan is the key land use planning document for Cheshire West and Chester. It will help decide things like the most sustainable places where new homes and jobs could go, and how the environment could be protected.
The new plan will be a single Local Plan document that will update and replace the policies in the current Local Plan (Part One) and Local Plan (Part Two), and will set out how much development is needed in the borough and allocate land if needed.
You can find all the information you need on the CWaC website here: https://planningpolicy.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/new-local-plan
There is a relatively short timescale to comment on the plan - the next stage is from 23 November when the consultation opens for a period of at least six week.

There are several home building developments in progress or proposed in the vicinity of Guilden Sutton currently. Plus there is the proposed route of the Peak Cluster pipeline. Basic information can be found by clicking the headings below
Outline planning permission documents for the proposed 90 homes development in School Lane are on the CWaC website. The development is likely to change substantially the character of Guilden Sutton.
The CWaC planning portal is now closed for comments. See this link
The Peak Cluster project will capture CO2 emissions from the cement and lime processing sources around and in the Peak District and transport them via a new pipeline for safe, permanent storage beneath the East Irish seabed.
Resulting from the consultation process, the proposed pipeline route has been moved slightly to the north west of Guilden Sutton ...avoidiing Hooks Wood and other areas to the east of the village.
HOWEVER the whole project is still likely to carve up huge areas of Cheshire countryside, cost millions and is opposed by many.
