Heath Farm
The Heath farm building project is thought to be a Partington related project, but because of the Parish boundary following natural land features half of the project falls within our parish.
The original planning application known as a Hybrid application was submitted to Trafford in June 2018. As with any development various concerns were raised during public consultation of those the must current and relevant ones are the local school place capacity in Partington and the increased traffic along the A6144.

The Meadow
Transport
The site development is for
6no. two-bedroom units;
76no. three-bedroom units; and
57no. four-bedroom units.
The off road parking for each is
2 bed dwellings = 2 parking spaces
3 bed dwellings = 2 parking spaces
4+ bed dwellings = 3 parking spaces
This equates to a maximum level of car parking of 335 spaces. The proposed level of car parking is 295 spaces; therefore, this is in accordance with the parking standards. These spaces will be provided by 256 parking spaces on driveways, 22 parking bays and 17 general parking spaces. In addition to this, it is proposed that there will be 11 parking spaces on adoptable highway.
So looks like it going to be another Inglenook Close where on-street parking is very tight and no easy access for refuse trucks or fire alliances
The reality could be:
2 bed dwelling each couple has a car each and maybe one other = 3 parking spaces needed
3 bed dwelling each couple has a car each and maybe two others = 4 parking spaces needed
4 bed dwelling each couple has a car each and maybe three others = 5 parking spaces needed
So this could equate to a possible maximum level of car parking for 607 spaces, also double what is to be provided. Then the visitor traffic needs to be included!!!

Land contamination strategy for former Shell site
Brief site history
During 1947–1952 Petro-Carbon ltd began to build what would later become known as the Shell Site. The estate was leased on 1 October 1968 to Shell Chemicals who in 1957 had purchased a propylene oxide plant along the moss’s northern edge. Shell had built an ethylene oxide plant in 1958 and began to produce polyether polyols the following year. By 1994, four distinct plants operated on the 3,500-acre site, producing a range of chemicals, and materials including polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene. In 2005 it was reported that Shell would close their polyols and ethoxylates units, a decision which came into effect in 2007.
PFAS Contamination
What are PFAS?
Per- or poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are used in everyday products.
Have you bought a Teflon frying pan? Is there PTFE in your bike oil? PFAS has been used in everyday products from food packaging, toiletries and non-stick cookware to clothing and carpets since the 1950’s. PFAS are often referred to as the ‘forever chemicals’ because of their extreme persistence in the environment. Some forms of PFAS can take over 1000 years to degrade.
PFAS was used on the former Shell site by the Shell Fire service found in the fire fighting foam. The contamination is mostly limited to the fire training areas, but will travel in the ground aided by the groundwater.
The PFAS used in our everyday products leak into our environment during production, use and disposal, and some PFAS are known to accumulate in people, animals and plants and are linked to a range of health problems including kidney and testicular cancers, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, high cholesterol and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
