Site Allocations and Development Policies Document

The Site Allocations and Development Policies Document (PDF, 2.1MB) is the second part of the Cheshire East Local Plan and provides detailed planning policies and land allocations in line with the overall approach set out in the Local Plan Strategy. It was adopted on 22 December 2022.

In addition to the SADPD, the Local Plan Strategy, completed neighbourhood plans, and the saved policies in the Cheshire Waste Local Plan and Cheshire Minerals Local Plan will also be used to determine planning applications.

The adopted policies map shows the geographical extent of policies in the Local Plan.

Further information

An index of adopted Local Plan policies is available for reference and the planning policy documents index lists all adopted planning policy and guidance documents in Cheshire East.

On adoption, the SADPD replaced all of the saved policies from the Congleton Local Plan, Crewe and Nantwich Local Plan and Macclesfield Local Plan. These plans are longer used when determining planning applications.
