Dark Lane Application Submitted

The planning application for 10 new homes on Dark Lane is now live under reference 18/5544M. The application was submitted by Engine of the North (part of Cheshire East Council) and proposes 8 affordable and two market houses. It includes a pedestrian crossing on the A536 and other highways improvements such as new footpaths.

The deadline for comments is down as 12th December. Realistically, Cheshire East Council will accept comments right up until the point they prepare a decision report.

We expect the decision will be taken by the Cheshire East Council Northern Planning Committee sometime in February/March.

The Parish Council has commissioned Peter Yates (ex head of Planning at Macclesfield Borough Council) to help us prepare a response and will be holding a meeting on Tuesday December 11th at 7:30pm in the Village Hall to consider the Dark Lane planning application. Residents are encouraged to attend. There will be a period of public speaking to allow residents to air their views. The Parish Council is aiming to publish a draft response in advance of the meeting.
