We are consulting on the First Draft Local List Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). A local list identifies significant local heritage assets, that are not designated by other means, and is a material consideration when making decisions on planning applications.

This draft SPD seeks to identify and give appropriate protections to our non-designated heritage assets by providing further guidance on how our local list will be prepared and maintained in the future.

Cheshire East Council is considering introducing a Lane Rental Scheme on a proportion of its road network. The introduction of a Lane Rental Scheme aims to achieve better control and co-ordination of roadworks and street works which take place across the Cheshire East Council highway network. The core objective will be the reduction of disruptive road works on the most traffic sensitive parts of the network, at the most sensitive times.

The scheme aims to reduce the amount of disruption to users of the Highway Network within Cheshire East by encouraging organisations who conduct street or road works to undertake activities during the least disruptive time for road users, and to complete them in a timely manner. It aims to reduce the number of activities being undertaken at specified times by applying a daily charge to these organisations for occupation of street and roads during chargeable hours.

Local Nature Recovery Strategy consultation

Local Nature Recovery Strategies will act as the blueprint for how to improve nature in local areas to help wildlife thrive, improve our ecological network, and target investment in nature where it could help us adapt to climate change and improve the places we live, work and play.

The Strategy for Cheshire will cover the whole of Cheshire and include Warrington. It will be led by Cheshire West and Chester Council, supported by Warrington, Cheshire East, Peak District National Park, Natural England and our Local Nature Partnership. This consultation is on the first draft of the strategy and will be open until 4 April 2025.
