Great news, Congleton! After lots of hard work, community input, and detailed planning, our Congleton Neighbourhood Plan has reached the next big milestone – Regulation 16.
That might sound a bit technical, but here’s what it means: Cheshire East Council is now running a six-week public consultation on the final version of our plan. This is your chance to have a look at the submission draft and share any final thoughts before it goes off for independent examination.
🗓 When is the consultation open?
From 6 October to 17 November 2025 (until 7pm)
📍 Where can I read the plan?
All the documents are available online here:
