In response to the climate and nature emergencies facing communities worldwide, including here in west Cheshire, a draft Land Action Plan for the Climate and Nature Emergencies has been produced.

The plan focuses on land use, adaption and climate repair, a key theme of the borough's Climate Emergency Response Plan. Setting out a vision for land in west Cheshire, the plan includes 68 actions that will help to restore and protect nature, which will both help tackle the climate crisis and provide many benefits for our communities.

Earlier in the year, the Council ran an engagement exercise on the Local Plan, which asked people to share their ideas on what the Local Plan could do to address climate change, to protect and enhance the natural and built environment and to highlight land that is important to protect. This Land Action Plan consultation provides an opportunity to look at land use in the borough in more detail.
