Handforth and the Local Plan
Handforth has a population of approximately 9,000 and is situated in the Borough of Cheshire East. Handforth borders Heald Green to the north and Wilmslow to the south, between the Cheshire Plain and the Pennines.
Cheshire East is characterised by its distinctive historic towns each with their own history, character and charm. These towns lie at the heart of the Borough, and their vitality and growth is essential for the future prosperity of Cheshire East. These towns serve as Key Service Centres for a wider locality with a good range of facilities including shops, schools and cultural and leisure facilities.
The Key Service Centres of Alsager, Congleton, Handforth, Knutsford, Middlewich, Nantwich, Poynton, Sandbach and Wilmslow provide a range of services and opportunities for employment, retail and education. They serve a wide catchment area and contain public transport links. The Key Service Centres offer opportunities for sustainable economic growth that can meet the aspirations of the Borough and local communities.
The Vision for the Key Service Centres is:
The towns Alsager, Congleton, Handforth, Knutsford, Middlewich, Nantwich, Poynton, Sandbach and Wilmslow will see growth, with high quality homes and business premises provided to meet local needs, where smaller independent traders will continue to thrive and where all development will contribute to creating a strong sense of place.
The draft Handforth Town Strategy proposes the transformation of Handforth in terms of increased
employment opportunities, the regeneration of Hanforth town centre and the rail gateway,
improving green infrastructure, improved transport links and a wider choice of housing
The draft Handforth Town Strategy looks to limited future growth but aims for a greatly improved Handforth town centre and improved employment opportunities. The maintenance of the Green Belt is seen as important, retaining separation of the town from nearby Handforth settlements such as Cheadle Hulme and Heald Green.
There is a strong preference for the use of brownfield sites in the town for development although the need to provide additional housing to meet the current and future needs of the town is recognised. A number of potential sites for development around the town of Handforth are identified in order to ascertain public opinion on their suitability for development.
Whilst the bulk of new development in Cheshire East will be within or on the edge of our existing towns together with new infrastructure to support that development, it is recognised that there is a limit to the scale of new development that can be provided in this way without impacting on the character of these towns and without imposing unacceptable impacts on their community and physical infrastructure.
Accordingly three new settlements are planned -
The proposed settlement at Handforth will take some of the growth that otherwise might have had to have been accommodated in less suitable locations on the periphery of nearby towns. Rather than spreading the impact on the Green Belt, it seeks to minimize the take up of Green Belt land in a single sustainable location.
