Adlington New Town proposals Fact Sheet

The rural area of Adlington has been proposed as the site for a new town. With up to 20,000 homes over almost 1,000 hectares, the development would decimate our Green Belt, farms, river valleys and wildlife habitats.

On top of this, we do not believe the arguments in favour of the development stack up.

This fact sheet explains the facts around the proposals and our position on the development.
