HC Deb 17 February 1988 vol 127 c672W
Mr. Goodlad

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the area of designated green belt land in the Eddisbury constituency in(a) 1979 and (b) the latest year for which information is available.

Mr. Waldegrave

Green belt within the Eddisbury constituency was broadly defined in the Cheshire structure plan approved in July 1979. It fell to local plans to establish the precise areas and this has been done for the following areas:

  1. (a) In Vale Royal District:
    • Frodsham and Helsby local plan (adopted May 1981)
    • Northwich local plan (adopted May 1981)
    • Tarporley local plan (adopted June 1982).
  2. (b) Chester District:
    • Chester rural areas local plan (adopted October 1985).

For those parts of the constituency not yet covered by local plans the green belt remains as broadly defined in the structure plan.
