Macclesfield Town Council Planning Committee Minutes
Minutes of the meeting held on Wednesday 30th August 2023 at 7pm at Macclesfield Library.
1. Apologies for Absence
No apologise for absence
2. Declarations of Interest
Cllr Barber declared a non-pecuniary interest in application 23/2967M. As a previous Cheshire East Councillor and a Champion for Young People, he was contacted by the applicant ‘Youth Fed’ to lobby for support. At the time, he indicated that as it was running up to the election his influence would be limited so he was unprepared to discuss it, so it doesn’t predetermine his views on the application.
3. Public Participation
The meeting was adjourned to invite public comments and questions.
2 members of the public came to discuss application 23/2967M
David Caudwell and Alan Tinsley raised numerous concerns from themselves and neighbours on Loxley Close, Beswick Road and Oxford Road and want Macclesfield Town Council to join them in opposing this application. They understand that facilities are needed for the youth but feel there are numerous other existing places that could be used instead, for example Macclesfield College, Leisure Centre, Pavillion etc.
The points raised included:
- A significant adverse noise level increase. This has been recorded as a 20db increase on Loxley Close, but this was taken place in the Easter holidays so not an accurate representation.
- Significant bird/ wildlife impact
- Site completely unsuitable- road not equipped for this amount of traffic
- Security to residents- anti-social behaviour is already a problem with lots of youths hanging around at the moment before this application has even gone ahead. Numerous residents worried about how this will impact their lives.
- The mental wellbeing of the local residents needs to be taken into account
- Parking issues, not enough parking spaces would be provided
They ask MTC to hear their voice and note their concerns.
Cllr Sarah Bennett- Wake came to speak on application 23/3010M. She is a resident that backs on to this property and a councillor for MTC and Cheshire East on the Hurdsfield ward. Cllr Bennett- Wake wanted to make the Committee aware that when residents have been on to comment on this application, there are no drawings and not enough information online for them to comment on.
Cllr Bennett-Wake asked if the neighbours could be consulted again when this gets back put on.
The meeting was reconvened.
