- Tree removal impacting wildlife;
- Noise pollution during construction;

Location: KINGS SCHOOL, CUMBERLAND STREET, MACCLESFIELD, CHESHIRE, SK10 1DA
RESOLVED: That the committee does not object to this development in principal providing the following issues are fully addressed:
- Insufficient parking provision for the number of dwellings in the development;
- Concerns on structural integrity of buildings adjacent to underground parking;
- Inadequate traffic management of neighbouring streets leading to increased congestion;
- Impact to residents during construction from noise for construction traffic and building work;
- Concerns on provision of parking for construction vehicles forcing works vehicles to park on the already congested side streets;
- Concerns on air quality following completion of development from increase of traffic on highway;
- Provision of access to the site during construction and following development completion;
- That there is clarity in the protection of trees with a current TPO and that the on-site cherry trees, which form a significant part of the character of the site, are retained;
- Impact on wildlife habitats, notably roosting bats as observed by the residents;
- A construction traffic management plan, detailing hours of work and with consideration to residents, is issued and agreed with Cheshire East Council;
- That the loss of amenity due to the proposed development overlooking existing neighbouring properties be considered in light of the loss of amenity.
