In respect of plan no. 58874 for a hybrid application comprising demolition of vacant cottages and erection of a new access road, boundary treatments, landscaping, lighting (application in full) and erection of A3/A4 unit (outline application with all matters reserved except for access) at Stanley Green Retail Park, Earl Road, Cheadle Hulme,

a member of the public spoke against the application; and

the applicant spoke in support of the application.

It was then

RESOLVED – That planning permission be refused on the grounds that the proposed development failed to accord with principles of sustainable development by virtue of a failure to demonstrate that the proposed A3/A4 unit would be a genuinely complementary commercial or leisure use; that the proposed development would be detrimental to residential amenity by reason of the additional noise and disturbance arising from the proposed access road; and that the proposed development, by reason of the layout of the access and its interaction with the highway improvements proposed as part of the A6MARR scheme, would result in conditions prejudicial to the safety of pedestrians.
