CONTRARY to the report in last week’s Guardian, Knutsford’s Nether Ward Community Group (NWCG) did submit a response to the revised planning application for 190 houses on Northwich Road.

That response was presented to members of the Strategic Planning Board after the Guardian went to press and was duly considered at the meeting.

A representative of NWCG also spoke at the meeting. As a direct result of these representations a further condition was added to the planning permission.

It is important for the public to be aware that the community groups in Knutsford are working to ensure that CEC follows its own planning policies as detailed in the Local Plan.

I would go further and encourage people to join their local group and have their opinions heard.

For those affected by the Northwich Road development, the appropriate group is NWCG. The group can be contacted by emailing admin@nwcg.org.uk.
