Decision details

The Area Committee considered proposals for the allocation of commuted sums received from housing developers for play provision and agreed to the following:-

·                £1,505.79 from development no.1161 (DC 053841, Rear of 8 Brooklyn Road, Cheadle, SK8 1BS) for future play improvements at Great Moor Park.

·                £3,011.58 from development no.1176 ( DC 050392, The Grove Inn, SK7 4AX) to future play improvements at Great Moor Park.

·                £836.55 from development no.1188 (DC 055793, 8 Bosden Fold, Hazel Grove) to surface improvements at Bean Leach Play Area.

·                £2,509.65 from development no.1025 (127 Cavendish Road) to Macclesfield Road Park, and that should insufficient funds become available for use within this park within a reasonable time period that the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration be requested to submit a further report to the Area Committee with alternative proposals.

The Area Committee could have allocated the £2,509.865 from development no.1025 to Torkington Park. However, the Area Committee rejected this at this stage as they were of the view that every effort should be made to ensure funds were available to support the provision of play equipment at Macclesfield Road Park.
