Baseline information
This baseline information provides an overview of the demographic, economic, environmental and infrastructure characteristics of Cheshire West and Chester. It brings together information from a range of national, regional and local sources to provide an evidence-based understanding of the borough, helping to identify current conditions, key trends and emerging issues. The information covers topics including population, transport and connectivity, health, climate change, natural and historic environment and infrastructure provision.
This information forms part of the evidence that supports the preparation of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan. A robust and up-to-date evidence base is essential to ensure that planning policies are informed by local circumstances and can respond to future opportunities and challenges. As we progress work on a new Local Plan, this page will be maintained as a live resource and updated regularly where new data and evidence become available. This will help ensure that residents, businesses, developers, stakeholders and decision makers have access to the latest information relating to the borough and its future development.
