Statement:-

We, the undersigned , as a skatepark would like you to clear the un used grass space area and fill it with stone and build brand new ramps on them to give the rider a more safer feeling when riding, therefore the ramps we would like is a roll in ramp, a box and a quarter pipe with a back wall behind it so people can do tricks of

it and get more active, we would really appreciate it if you could do this to the skatepark. Many Thanks

Gatley ramps are getting really old and people are burning them! Which is making it less safer for kids who want to ride on them!

Amongst other things, we arranged for their biographies to appear, temporarily, on the 17 trees which line our Green and where our war memorial is placed. Now we would like a more permanent reminder of the centenary, one which generations to come will enjoy and use for quiet reflection.Our goal is to place a striking, wooden poppy sculpture on the Green, near to the war memorial. We have chosen wood as the prime material because it is in harmony with the green and, particularly, the 17 trees. This sculpture will commemorate not just our 17 but all our men who gave their lives in war. We want the sculpture to offer a focus of quiet contemplation and beauty in a manner which reflects the peaceful nature of our lovely green Our aim is to have the sculpture in place for Remembrance Sunday, November 2016, when we will invite our village to its unveiling as a focal

3part of our events on that day.

To date events are being planned at four main centres: Cheadle Green, Cheadle Parish Church & Churchyard, The White Hart Car Park, Trinity Church (Massie Street) with entertainment and Victorian characters along the High Street. The event, with a Victorian theme, will run in conjunction with the monthly Community Makers Market which will be hosted on the refurbished Cheadle Green site. In addition there will be a funfair and community stalls in the White Hart Car park, and a craft fair at Trinity Church. St Marys and the Village Partnership will coordinate activities in both the churchyard and inside the church and along Cheadle High Street. Activities include a Charity Market in the churchyard supporting both local and international charities with connections to Cheadle residents, inside a programme of live music, entertainment, children's crafts, dramatic presentations and bell ringing culminating in a Victorian Family Christmas presentation and finally a production of A Christmas Carol. Along the High Street there will be street entertainers, Victorian characters and musical performers. All local businesses have been encouraged to make the most of the opportunity and participate by dressing their windows and consider marketing measures to attract business not only on the day but to encourage people back into the village on future occasions, as well as 'going Victorian' for the day. This application supports the need for further promotional activities including the High Street entertainers who will signpost when and where activities are taking place, the provision of a programme of events and the furnishing of a Victorian themed environment to enhance the ambience and enjoyment of the day by the local community.

for the erection of single dwelling in garden to the rear of 14 Lynton Vale Avenue.(AMENDED DESCRIPTION)

Type of Application: Outline Planning Permission

Registration Date: 26/02/2015 Expiry Date: 23/04/2015 Case Officer: Jim Seymour

Applicant: C/O Bailey Dyson Int. Cons. Ltd Agent : C/O Bailey Dyson Int. Cons. Ltd COMMITTEE STATUS Cheadle Area Committee - More than 4 letters of objection received. DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT Outline application with matters of (1) access and (2) scale submitted for the erection of a single dwelling. Indicative details of siting and appearance are also included in the application. The application site relates to the part side/part rear garden area of no. 14 Lynton Vale Avenue. The proposed plot would be formed predominantly from the large rear garden to the rear of number 14 Lynton Vale Drive but also including a narrow slip of land from the side of the property. In terms of access the site would be given an independant access point off the turning head of Lynton Vale Avenue. A new driveway, turning facility and parking space for two vehicles is identified on the plans in the northeastern corner of the site. In terms of layout the proposal the proposal identifies a building would be sited towards the rear boundary with the main body of the house being 5.680 m from the boundary. The property would extend across the majority of the width of the plot leaving 1.790m to the eastern boundary and 2.260m to the west boundary. The dwellings two storey frontage is separated by 22.570m from no. 14 Lynton Vale and 25.230m from no.12 Lynton Vale. The remaining area surrounding the dwelling would be laid to garden apart from the north eastern corner which is dedicated to access and parking. In terms of scale the property is predominantly two storey with a pitched roof and ridge height of 7.150m.

No 14 Lynton Vale would retain its own rear private garden separated from the new access via a new fence/wall and its existing access arrangements from the frontage. The application has been accompanied by an Arboricultural Report. This proposes that 4 no.existing mature trees on site would be removed to facilitate the development including a TPOed tree in the north eastern site corner. A replacement mitigation tree planting plan has been submitted which identifies the layout and positioning of 7 replacement trees. This does not constitute a landscaping submission at outline stage but is needed to establish the principle of development at the site. SITE AND SURROUNDINGS The application relates to land to the rear and side of no. 14 Lynton Vale Avenue and currently forms the garden area to this property. The land is dimensions 527sqm in area. The site is adjoined to the north by no. 14 and 12 Lynton Vale Avenue, to the south east by no. 20 Lynton Vale Avenue, to the south by Gatley Hall and to the west by a Tatton House. The land is relatively level and includes 4 large trees on site including one near the proposed access point. POLICY BACKGROUND The application site is allocated within a Predominantly Residential Area, as defined on the UDP Proposals Map.

SPG DESIGN OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SPD SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SPD National Planning Legislation THE NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK (NPPF) PLANNING HISTORY DC056742 - Outline application for a single detached dwelling to the rear of 14 Lynton Vale Avenue, Gatley. Withdrawn 10/10/14. NEIGHBOURS VIEWS The occupiers of 11 nearby properties have been notified in writing of the proposal. The application has also been advertised on site and in the press as part of the site lies within the boundary of a Conservation Area (Gatley Village). In total 5 letters of objection have been received from neighbouring properties on the following grounds: 1. The existing trees should be retained on site. 2. The access is not adequate. 3. The proposed access is not safe for pedestrians and vehicles. 4. The section of wall should not be removed its historic and forms part of Gatley Hall and hence demolish historical features. 5. Ground level of site is higher than adjoining land which makes the impact worse on neighbours. 6. The proposal is too close to other houses. 7. The proposal will take light form other properties. 8. The proposal is too close to number 20. 9. Any dwelling here should be single storey. 10. The proposal will be detrimental to the traditional village character of the area. 11. The plans are not accurate. 12. The proposal will not provide affordable housing. 13. The proposal will increase noise and disturbance to properties. 14. The proposal will increase traffic in the turning head and along Lynton Vale Avenue 15. The proposal will negatively impact on family life for existing residents 16. The proposal will destroy a beautiful and peaceful green site. 17. The site is not previously developed land and shouldn't be built on. 18. The proposal contravenes development plan policy and the NPPF. 19. The proposal is overdevelopment.

20. The proposal will resulting in a loss of privacy and amenity for residents. 21. The proposal will generate noise, disturbance and problems during construction. 1 letter has also been received from Mary Robinson MP on the grounds that she is concerned that neighbours views regarding access, loss of amenity and greenfield development are not being taken into consideration and that the proposed site borders a conservation area and this should have some bearing on the decision. CONSULTEE RESPONSES Highways Engineer: The site is situated in a sustainable location having regard to the Council's assessment criteria and is considered appropriate for residential development. A development of a single dwelling and associated traffic generation will not adversely affect the safety and operation of Lynton Vale Avenue and I am satisfied that an acceptable means of access can be provided. The detailed design of the access is a matter for a planning condition, alongside conditions covering driveway formation, parking and cycle parking. Recommendation: No objections. Tree Officer: The building footprints predominantly sits within the existing garden area of the residential property. The development of the residential property shall have a negative impact on many mature trees or high level specimen tree within the property of the development or the neighbouring property. The site design appears to be a high density for the small garden area which will have a high demand/risk for future tree works and actionable nuisances from the trees on the site and neighbouring sites and as such should have these issues considered prior to approval at this level as several trees will either be lost or heavily pruned losing the amenity levels of the trees. The main residential access driveway will also require the removal of several protected trees on site and whilst they are identified as low amenity or in decline the TPO is there to protect trees in this location in perpetuity and as such this makes the argument mute. The removal of the trees to create the access will drastically alter the amenity and aesthetics of the area and open up views across the site at the proposed new building. The site layout plan does not consider the orientation to retain as many trees as possible although this is to off-set other planning requirements thus making a conflict of issues and in fact its current position is the worst orientation resulting in far too many trees being lost on this site. The Tree survey report and layout plan previously showed a poor level of replacement planting/off-setting which clearly goes against council policy to enhance the local biodiversity with tree planting on all developments, following a further consultation with the agents a new and improved landscaping has been submitted showing a increase in design and tree numbers which subject to further alterations would off-set and in fact enhance the site subject to conditions. As such there are no arboriculture concerns for this application as long as the conditions are made to require further information be submitted to allow a more detailed landscaping design as well as a method statements for construction,

arboriculture impact assessment and additional root protection plans showing the protection levels and increased replacement trees to off-set the tree loss on the site. Housing Policy Officer: The development is of such a scale that there is no requirement for any affordable housing provision. The site is within 800m of Gatley Large Local Centre and therefore falls within the first two spatial priority areas for housing location as set out in Policy CS4 (Distribution of Housing) of the Core Strategy. However, the site appears to be mainly greenfield land currently used as garden land for an adjacent residential property. Policy CS4 sets out a hierarchy for development of urban greenfield sites. The first of these is accessible sites not designated as open space, with the second the use of private residential gardens in accessible urban locations where proposals respond to the character of the area and maintain good standards of amenity and privacy for the occupants of existing housing. Given the Councils continued position of housing under-supply urban greenfield sites need to be considered as potential development sites, subject to the hierarchy and sequential approach described in Policy CS4. There are very few sites in the first level of that hierarchy and therefore garden sites which meet the requirements of policy are currently acceptable sites for housing development. Consequently, subject to assessment against other policies relating to design, amenity and privacy, the proposal meets the requirements of Core Strategy Policy CS4, as well as adding to the housing numbers and mix in line with Core Policies CS2 and CS3. Conservation Officer: No objections to the proposed development whilst a 7m strip at the southern end of the site is contained within the Gatley Conservation Area, property boundaries and landscaping in this area have evolved since its original designation in 1979 and it is considered that the proposals submitted as part of this application will not harm the character, appearance or setting of the conservation area. ANALYSIS This outline application requires assessment in respect of the following matters: 1. Landuse The application site is located within a Predominantly Residential Area as defined on the UDP Proposals Map. The application site is greenfield land (used as garden currently but is also allocated within one of the two main spatial priority areas for residential development, as set out in Core Strategy DPD policy CS4, being within 800m of Gatley Large Local Centre. The site is therefore is acceptable in principle for housing development and complies with Core Strategy Policy CS4 The proposal would also add to the housing numbers and mix in the borough in line with the aims and aspirations of Core Policies CS2 and CS3. (It should be noted that the Council is currently in a position of housing under-supply, with 3.1 years worth of supply against a requirement in national policy for 5 years plus a 5% buffer.) 2. Residential amenity Although submitted in outline the application includes In terms of existing residents the proposed new dwelling is sited to face approximately in a north (front) and south

(rear) direction and have the primary habitable room windows on the these front and rear elevations respectively. Adjoining properties to the north have rear windows facing the site but the proposal provides separation distances to comply with the Councils standards consisting of >25m (window to window). The adjacent property to the south east (20 Lynton Vale Avenue) has no habitable windows facing the site or proposed dwelling and therefore there is no conflict with separation distances in this respect either. In terms of mass and bulk it should be noted that the proposed dwelling is 2 storey in height (max 7.15m to ridge) and is slightly lower than the properties on the frontage of Lynton Vale Avenue. The proposal is sited relatively close to boundaries to the south and west however 5.9m is retained to the rear boundary where the proposal would face onto part of a large garden area belonging to Gatley Hall. There is substantial mature screen vegetation in place in the control of the neighbouring property along this boundary which offers protection from the proposal. The proposal is there will not be overbearing on adjacent properties in terms of its overall scale and siting. The existing property at no. 14 would retain adequate amenity space to the rear similar in amount to the other properties adjacent. The proposal would introduce a residential property into this location with the associated noise and disturbance. Whilst representing a change for adjoining residents is a development of a single dwelling only and it would be difficult to argue that the impact of the proposed dwelling proposal would worsen the current situation to the extent where in terms of noise and disturbance a refusal of planning permission could be substantiated. New boundary treatments 2m high boundary treatments can be secured by planning condition and this will secure the boundaries for existing residents and protect amenity further. This includes the treatment of the new boundary formed between the application site and no 14. In terms of intended residents, given the above situation, the proposed dwelling is not considered to be overlooked by existing property and will offer adequate privacy in this regard for its occupants from the front or rear. The side elevations of the proposed dwelling are blank at first floor level. This can be secured by planning condition. There is therefore no overlooking issue in these directions. The proposal includes rear and front garden area to serve the property which is capable of beneficial use and in excess of the councils recommended amount of 75sqm per unit. The site lies within the noise contour area where aircraft noise is a relevant consideration. However the standard condition to require and provide acceptable sound attenuation could be added to any permission issued and this would adequately deal with this amenity issue. In summary there are no residential amenity issues for either existing or proposed residents that either fail to meet the councils policies and guidelines or could not be satisfied via the imposition of planning conditions and therefore the proposal is acceptable in this respect in accordance with Core Strategy DPD policies H-1 and SIE-1 and the Design of Residential Development SPD.

3. Design. The proposed dwelling are sited in a position to the rear of the existing properties on surrounding streets. In this sense the proposal represents a form of backland "backland" development and as outlined in the relevant planning policy guidance and the Councils SPD on the Design of Residential Development SPD such proposals can cause problems in terms utility services, inadequate access, loss of privacy, loss of spaciousness and a over-reduction in garden size. In turn this can lead to a change in the character of an area and a unacceptably more cramped environment. Relevant planning policy and guidance does not however rule out development in backland locations and such sites can form a valuable form of housing land supply as set out above in planning policy terms provided schemes maintain reasonable garden size, maintain appropriate spacing between dwellings and are of appropriate scale and massing. In particular building heights should be carefully considered and the SPD identifies that building heights of a lower scale may be more appropriate and less conspicuous in backland locations. With the above in mind the following should be noted. The proposal should provide adequate and safe access and servicing (too be confirmed upon receipt of the highways engineers comments). The existing and proposed properties would be provided with at least the minimum amount of beneficial residential amenity space (>75sqm). Adequate separation is provided to comply with the Councils privacy standards as outlined above. The scale and massing of the proposed new properties is considered to be appropriate being slightly lower in height than the prevailing dwelling height surrounding the site. Whilst the proposal will undoubtedly change the appearance and character at the site and in turn the outlook from neighbouring properties given the above range of compliance listed above it is not considered that a refusal on poor design based on the backland nature of the site could be sustained at planning appeal. The final design and appearance of the proposal will be determined at reserved matters stage however the indicative elevations incorporates a design and features that are in keeping with the surrounding properties which are a mixture of ages and designs. Materials of construction would be dealt with at reserved matters stage. On this basis the proposal is considered to comply with all the development plan design related policy and guidance listed above in accordance with Core Strategy DPD policies H-1 and SIE-1 and the Design of Residential Development SPD. Given that there would be partially limited remaining space for extensions at the site particularly given the proximity of the building to boundaries at the rear and sides it is considered appropriate to remove permitted development rights from the new property to allow the Council to consider any subsequent extensions. This should be done as part of any outline approval. 4. Access, highway safety and parking The outline submission includes details of access. A new driveway is proposed to the north east from Lynton Vale Drive. The comments of the Highway Engineer are included above. It is not considered that the proposal will generate any highways objections in terms of traffic generation, access or car parking for the development that would provide reason to resist the proposal.

5. Trees The proposal results in the loss of 4 mature trees including one TPOed tree in the north eastern corner to allow for the new access to be created. This was initially a significant concern based on the impact on amenity the tree loss would have however a tree survey and replacement planting scheme has been submitted to mitigate (7 trees to replace the original 4) for the loss and now achieves the support of the Councils Arboricultural officer subject to final agreement of exact position and species of trees. On this basis the application no longer raises objection from a tree and amenity point of view and is considered to comply with the requirements of Core Strategy SIE-3 in this regard. 5. Developer contributions As a result of the Ministerial Statement of November 2014 and the associated amendments to Government policy in the form of the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG), due to the fact that the proposal is for development of ten or less units, the Council can no longer require this application to make a contribution towards open space. There is no requirement for any affordable housing provision based on the number of units in the scheme being below the relevant threshold (5 units) for this part of the Borough. 6. Heritage/Conservation The proposal involves demolition of a section of brick wall to the side of no. 14 to allow for the new access to be created. The brick wall in question was originally part of Gatley Hall which is a listed building. Following investigation by the Councils conservation officer it has however been established that the ownership of the wall was transferred to the property at no.14 prior to the listing of the Hall and therefore it is not listed as a curtilage structure to the Hall itself. There is therefore no need for any duplicate Listed Building Consent application and there are no objections to the removal of the wall from a conservation or listed building point of view. A condition should however be added to deal with the after treatment of the wall and to agree the details of the new section of wall which would attach onto the original following construction of the new access. It should also be a narrow section of the rear part of the site also lies within Gatley Village Conservation as does the adjacent property (no. 20). The application has been advertised on site and in the press as such and the Council Conservation officer consulted on the application. The Conservation Officer has confirmed a 7m strip at the southern end of the site is contained within the Gatley Conservation Area however has commented that property boundaries and landscaping in this area has evolved since the original designation in 1979 and it is therefore considered that the proposal will not harm the character, appearance or setting of the conservation area. On this basis the proposal is not considered to impact on any heritage assets or designations and does not conflict with policy SIE-3 of the development plan or relevant guidance within the NPPF. 7. Other issues

The site lies within the Manchester Airport Noise Zone. This location does not preclude the site from new residential development, provided that an acceptable level of protection for the proposed development from aircraft noise can be provided. As such, subject to the imposition of a suitably worded planning condition to ensure that this would be the case, the proposal is considered to comply with Saved UDP policy EP1.10 and Core Strategy DPD policy SIE-3. Although the proposal does not trigger the Council's carbon reduction targets, statement on Energy/Sustainability has been submitted with the application. This highlights the proposed energy efficiency measures that could be incorporated within the proposed development in order to reduce energy consumption and assesses the potential for the inclusion of available renewable and low and zero carbon technologies within the proposed development indicating a willingness to make the appropriate CO2 savings. Given this undertaking a condition can be added to ensure that the proposal complies with the requirements of Core Strategy DPD policy SD-3. Permeable drainage will be required as part of the highways conditions for the proposed parking areas which adequately deal with the requirements of policy SD-6. This will help ensure in part that the existing proposal does not overload the existing drainage system. Other drainage conditions can be added to ensure that the site is adequately/appropriately drained so as not to add to any existing drainage or flooding problems at the site or in the wider area. In terms of contaminated land the former garden use of the site means there is low risk of contamination however the standard informative can be used to safeguard development. SUMMARY Grant

Application Reference: DC/058331 Location: THE ALEXANDRA HOSPITAL, MILL LANE, CHEADLE,

SK8 2PX Proposal: Delivery of new MRI Scanning Unit and change of

use of former coal yard to form additional hospital car parking

Type of Application: Full Planning Permission

Registration Date: 15/04/2015 Expiry Date: 10/06/2015 Case Officer: Jim Seymour

Applicant: BMI Healthcare Agent : Walsingham Planning COMMITTEE STATUS Planning and Highways Committee - part Departure to the Development plan DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT The application has two elements: 1. Extension to provide additional MRI scanning facilities. The proposed extension would be located on the southern elevation of the existing MIR scanning unit which is a small free standing single storey flat roofed building located within the Hospital grounds to the south of the larger main hospital building. The area of the application is currently occupied by an enclosed yard area and contains several items of external plant including fuel, gas and liquid oxygen storage tanks. These would be removed from the site. The extension would approximately double the size of the existing unit and employ design and materials to match the existing building. The existing fuel, gas and liquid oxygen storage tanks would be sited immediately to the rear and side of the proposed extension within enclosed compound areas. 2. Change of use of former coal yard to create additional car parking. The existing vacant former coal yard would be redeveloped to provide additional car parking space to serve hospital staff based at the Alexander Hospital and at nearby Eden Place office which is occupied by hospital staff. The proposal would seek to rationalise the existing area and provide a maximum of 132 spaces. The plans identify that the car park would be accessed via the existing car park and access road hospital at the south eastern corner of the site with the resultant loss of 6 spaces to create the space for the access link. The plans include for the provision of 15 no 8m high lighting and CCTV columns to cover the proposed car park area. Porous asphalt is identified for the surfacing of the car park area. SITE AND SURROUNDINGS The application relates to the Alexandra hospital site which is a large hospital

complex and associated car parks and grounds located lying to the east of Manchester Road and a short distance to the north of Cheadle District Centre. The application relates to two specific with development proposed in separate areas. The first site relates to the area immediately to the south of the detached MRI scanning building to the south of the main hospital building. The area of the application is currently occupied by an enclosed yard area and contains several items of external plant including fuel, gas and liquid oxygen storage tanks. The site is level. The second relates to the former coal yard which lies to the south of the main hospital complex car park bound to the south by the railway lane and to the east by Manchester Road. The area of land concerned is roughly triangular in shape being narrowest at its western end. The site is accessed currently from a gated access point off Manchester Road and has a inclined access road running in a westerly direction up to the main section of site that sits on a flat area of land adjacent to the railway line. The site is surfaced in rough concrete and enclosed to all sides with security fencing with numerous mature trees and other vegetation at the sites perimeters. There are currently a line of container bodies on one section of the site. Cheadle centre lies to the south of the railway and contains a variety of uses including offices and residential properties. On the opposite side of Manchester Road lies a public house and residential houses. POLICY BACKGROUND The application site is allocated as lying within the Green Belt and the River Mersey Landscape Character Area on the UDP proposals map. The following policies of the Core Strategy DPD and saved Policies of the Unitary Development Plan are relevant: UDP Review GBA1.1 - Extent of Green Belt GBA1.2 - Control of Development in Green Belt GBA1.7 - Major Existing Developed Sites in the Green Belt LCR1.1 - Landscape Character Areas LCR1.1a - The Urban Fringe Including the River Valleys Core Strategy DPD CS1 - Overarching principles: Sustainable Development - addressing inequalities and climate change SD-1 - Creating Sustainable Communities CS8 - Safeguarding and improving the Environment SIE-1 - Quality Places SIE-3 - Protecting Safeguarding and enhancing the Environment CS10 - An effective transport network T-1 - Transport and Development T-2 - Parking in Developments T-3 - Safety and capacity on the Highways Network Advice within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is also relevant as follows: The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) issued by DCLG on 27th March 2012 sets out the Governments planning policies for England, and how they are

expected to be applied. Paragraph 6 states: The purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. Paragraph 7 states: There are three dimensions to sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. Paragraph 11 states: Planning law requires that applications for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Paragraph 13 states: The National Planning Policy Framework constitutes guidance for local planning authorities and decision-takers both in drawing up plans and as a material consideration in determining applications. Paragraph 14 states: At the heart of the National Planning Policy Framework is a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which should be seen as a golden thread running through both plan-making and decision-taking. For decision-taking this means (unless material considerations indicate otherwise): approving development proposals that accord with the development plan

without delay; and where the development plan is absent, silent or relevant policies are out-of-

date, granting permission unless: - any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in this Framework taken as a whole; or - specific policies in this Framework indicate development should be restricted. Paragraph 30 states Encouragement should be given to solutions which support reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and reduce congestion. In preparing Local Plans, local planning authorities should therefore support a pattern of development which, where reasonable to do so, facilities the use of sustainable modes of transport. Paragraph 56 states The Government attaches great importance to the design of the built environment. Good design is a key aspect of sustainable development, it is indivisible from good planning, and should contribute positively to making places better for people. Paragraph 69 states The planning system can play an important role in facilitating social interaction and creating healthy, inclusive communities. Paragraph 70 states To deliver the social, recreational and cultural facilities and services the community needs, planning policies and decisions shoul
