In respect of plan no. DC078355 for the relocation of existing culvert head with a section of the existing culvert tunnel replaced with an open ditch at 92 Heathbank Road, Cheadle Hulme, it was

RESOLVED – (1) (2 for, 4 abstentions) That planning permission be refused on the grounds that the proposal does not comply with the Council’s guidance for the provision of an easement at either side of the relocated water course; that the proposal failed to provide adequate protection to trees within the site and that proposal would involve the relocation of the watercourse.

(2) That Councillor Wyatt be nominated to assist in the defence of any subsequent appeal against the refusal of planning permission.
