Planning Policy Options

An Options Toolkit for Cheshire & Merseyside

This section of the toolkit provides a suite of planning policy options, supported by information and case studies and further information on potential partners to engage with to achieve change on the ground.

Different policy options will be appropriate in different local areas. Across the Cheshire and Merseyside sub-region as a whole, they provide a vision on how the planning system could contribute to a more sustainable, healthy food environment. Some of these policies are already in place in the local planning authorities; other policy options have been inspired by local planning authorities from further afield.
