I AM writing in response to a reader’s letter published March 19 and titled Greenbelt?

Placing a question mark in the headline of a reader’s letter called ‘greenbelt’ is misleading since the status of the land to which you, the reader and Tatton Estate Management refers to is not open to question.

Cheshire East Council have ruled that the large area marketed by TEM as Cheshire Gateway is, and always has been, greenbelt owing to its precious rural character.

Cheshire East 2030 plan enshrines this and rules out development save for existing buildings which are agricultural. This land is greenbelt.

Full stop. No question mark.
