Cheshire East

Cheshire East, a unitary authority in the North West of England, offers a blend of urban and rural environments. Cheshire East Council, as the local planning authority, oversees planning applications and ensures they comply with both national and local policies via its Local Plan. The region comprises 12 town councils, 90 parish or community councils and 4 parish meetings and there is a vast difference in size and profile for each, each contributing to the diverse character of Cheshire East. These administrative divisions are instrumental in shaping the local planning process, striking a delicate balance between development and conservation across the region.
