Alsager residents are being invited to have their say on the Local Plan for the area.

Cheshire East Council has launched a public consultation on the local plan.

A local plan sets out how development (such as homes, business growth and infrastructure) should take place in the future.

It also contains policies to help protect and enhance the environment and create attractive places where people can live active, healthy lives. Its policies are used to make decisions on planning applications.

"We are consulting on an issues paper as the first important step in producing a new local plan for Cheshire East," said a council spokesperson.

"This sets out a number of issues that we think the new local plan should consider.

"The consultation provides an opportunity to tell us what issues you think the plan should address and how it can help tackle local priorities.

We are also seeking views on some supporting reports that will help to inform future stages of the new local plan, and asking people to submit sites that they consider are suitable and available for future development.
