10. Glow Up grant applications
10.1 Henbury Travel
Macclesfield Town Council Planning Committee discussed this application in detail but they will not be providing Henbury Travel funding for their Glow- Up Grant application of a digital TV signage screen for the following reason:
- The suggested work doesn’t satisfy the criteria of the Shop Front Guide, which would include:
- ‘The proliferation of multiple advertisements should be avoided’
- ‘Signage must not dominate the building façade and should relate to its character, scale and architectural features.’
10.2 Yas Bean
Macclesfield Town Council Planning Committee discussed Yas Beans Glow- Up grant application and have agreed to fund the improvements they wish to make (up to £1000) which include:
- Repainting of chipped and cracked door frame
- Repainting of logo due to a re-brand
- Repainting of fascia
- Window painting at Christmas
The Planning Committee would like to congratulate Yas Bean on being the first business to receive a glow up grant.
10.3 Violet Salons
Macclesfield Town Council Planning Committee discussed Violet Salons Glow-Up Grant application in detail and have decided on the below:
- The planters are already in place and the grant can’t be issued retrospectively. Macclesfield Town Council wouldn’t be able to grant funding for that aspect of work.
- The lights requested will be able to be funded as the Planning Committee feel this will improve the appearance of the shop front in this instance.
