This precious lowland raised peat bog is home to nearly 1,800 (or more) species, stores masses of carbon, and provides breathing space for local residents - but is under threat of development.

Can we just build on all the greenfield sites submitted to Cheshire East Council's call for sites instead of at Adlington? No, and neither should we. Planning guidance (rightly) says brownfield first, and CEC has a hierarchy of where development should happen.
