This petition concerning proposed development of site ab2 in newcastle-under-lyme was presented to Parliament once by 1 MP.

Issue summary

The petition addresses concerns over the proposed release of green belt land near Junction 16 of the M6 for development, which residents argue would negatively impact Audley’s rural character, local traffic conditions, air quality, and natural habitats.

Action requested

The petitioners request that the House of Commons urges the Government to encourage Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council to remove site allocation AB2 from its Local Plan and not permit the release of green belt land for this development.

Key facts

  • Residents are concerned about the loss of 6% of the parish’s green belt.
  • The proposed employment site is expected to cause poor air quality, noise, litter, and light pollution.
  • Development would likely increase traffic pressure on the A500/M6 roundabout and disrupt rural lanes used by local people.
  • There are concerns about habitat loss and views across the Cheshire plains and North Staffordshire being impacted.
