Resolved: Objection
Macclesfield Town Council planning committee object to the above application and would like the planning officer to take into consideration the points of policy INF8- telecommunications infrastructure, specifically
Point 1. ii. There will be no significant adverse impact on visual and residential amenity, or on … the wider area.

22/2082M- ‘The Council hereby REFUSES approval for the following reasons: 1. The new 15 metre mast and associated equipment proposed, by reason of its size, bulk, design, height and prominent position, would form an overly intrusive and visually dominant addition that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area. This would be compounded by a disproportionate level of associated equipment resulting in an excessive level of street clutter, detrimental to the character and appearance of the public realm. The development is consequently considered to be contrary to policies Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy Policy SD2 and Macclesfield Borough Local Plan Saved Policies RT2 and DC60 and guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework.’
22/4445M- ‘The Council hereby REFUSES approval for the following reasons: 1. The new 15 metre mast and associated equipment proposed would be unnacceptable by reason of its siting and appearance due to its size, height, and prominent position and would subsequently contrary to Part 16 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The proposals would also be contrary to Policies SD1 (Sustainable Development In Cheshire East), SD2 (Sustainable Development Principles) and SE1 (Design) of the Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy and policies GEN1 (Design Principles), REC1 (Open Space Protection) and Policy INF8 (Telecommunications Infrastructure) of the Cheshire East Site Allocations and Development Plan Document, insofar as it relates to significant adverse impact on visual amenity and the character of the wider area.’

8. Canal bridge 36
Cllr Mick Warren came to give an update on Canal Bridge 36. He has spoken with the Senior Architect from David Wilson homes. The canal access won’t be able to happen because of how long the gradient would have to be and they couldn’t see how you could get heavy machinery over the bridge to carry out such works. The Senior Architect from David Wilson homes is getting prices off his contractors to see about getting compacted ground works to go over the bridge to form a path from the Kings Park development over to Barracks Lane.
Cllr Mick Warren also had a meeting with Andrew Ramshall, Cheshire East Conservation Officer. He agreed that planning permission would be required but not listed building consent. He also couldn’t see a problem with removing the post in the middle of the bridge.
Next steps are to wait to hear back from the Senior Architect at David Wilson Homes and then meet with the Canal and River Trust about the updated plan.
9. Date/Time and Place of Next Meeting
The next Planning Committee meeting will take place on 15th November 2023 7pm, in Macclesfield Library.

8.1 Local Police Unit
No representatives from the LPU could attend for the second meeting in a row, however Inspector Watkins will send a report to the Town Clerk next week.
Cllr Livingstone is disappointed but is aware that there is ASB in the town centre that they are trying to work on, however he requests a formal meeting with the MTC Central ward Councillors and the Cheshire East Council Central ward Councillors.
Cllr Bennett-Wake is also disappointed as after her surgery at the weekend parking and anti-social behaviour is an issue.
Cllr Harewood-Jones asked if we can ask if police and PCSO’s receive mental health training to carry out their job.
Cllr Thompson would like to ask them about the Right Care Right Person initiative.
Cllr Warren and Cllr Bennett-Wake attended a panel with the Police and Crime Commissioner and they are rolling out training on Mental Health over the next 6 months.
The Town Clerk is requested to contact the Chief Inspector with the above issues.
8.2 CAB
CEO, Will McKellar from the CAB, attended to update on their work.
There has been growth in most areas and growth in relationship and immigration enquiries and he confirms they are working with Cheshire Without Abuse.
The report shows the outlook is bleak with more and more enquiries on welfare benefits, debts, housing etc. Covid still impacts them with less volunteers but more people requesting help.
They do have specialist support for those with mental health issues, debt specialists, those with cancer and those with young families.
Cllr Bennett-Wake thanked Will for the report and said the case studies provided were informative yet upsetting. She asked about those on benefits and did they know what they were entitled to?
Will replied that benefits were harder to access now, compared to years ago, now they have to go online and create an account. Technology has passed them by.
CAB staff help people complete disability benefit forms as they very complex.
Cllr Livingstone, thanked Will and the CAB, and the need to support the CAB, as it is such a complex system, and the support makes such a difference.
Cllr Hutchison asked about numbers on the report, and that where there is clear growth, he asked if that meant if people had to wait for support. Will says that as the numbers increase so do the number of volunteers. So the waiting may come down but they are still waiting too long. They are aspiring to aim that everyone who rings gets answered by a real person.
Cllr Edwardes asked if CAB help people fill in the forms, as he has found those who do not have English as a first language sometimes struggle.
CAB help to enable those that can do it themselves, otherwise they help those who cannot fill in the forms. CAB use a commercial interpretation service.
Cllr Harewood- Jones asked if they refer to other agencies. Will replied that they sometimes help people to find a solicitor for legal matters, and they work with Age UK, Disability Information Bureau and Just Drop in.
8.3 CCTV
Resolved: CCTV purchased by MTC are to be used for community safety at the discretion of the Town Councillors and we will buy 3 cameras
Home locations to be:
- Tesco Underpass
- Becks Lane
- Underpass near Travelodge
- Approve a 3 year SLA for CCTV

9.2 Code of Conduct
Resolved: The above named policy was approved
9.3 Mayors Handbook
Resolved: The above named policy was approved.
9.4 Councillor, Volunteer and Expenses Policy.
Resolved: The above named policy was approved with the following amendment:
To add:
Whatever gift or hospitality is provided to you, other than a gift or hospitality of nominal value only (such as drink, or small items of stationery), you should report the circumstances and the type of hospitality to the Town Clerk. Small insignificant gifts of a value of less than £50, such as pens, diaries, calendars, mouse mats or mugs, may be accepted.
In order to protect your position and the reputation of your Council, you should exercise caution in accepting any gifts or hospitality which are (or which you reasonably believe to be) offered to you because you are an officer. The presumption should always be not to accept significant gifts or hospitality. However, there may be times when such a refusal may be difficult if it is seen as rudeness in which case you could accept it but must ensure it is publicly registered.

Resolved: The budget will be presented to next Services and Finance Committee and Full Council. The Town Clerk will endeavor to get an accurate cost for the rent from CEC.

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.

- 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

- 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.

They have requested funding to support the project for 1 year to access the NLP therapy. When people have completed that programme, and then they go on to help others as they receive a diploma.
Phil explained NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), he says he has been doing it from 6 months and it has changed his life, helped him overcome his addiction, and help those in the youth justice system, and to give something back to society.
He has found it a real benefit and helped improve his life.
Cllr Chris Wilcock thanked ROAR and said they do fantastic things in the community and are involved in St. Michaels Church.
Cllr Neil Puttick said NLP helps him to focus more and he finds it of benefit. He asked about the youth justice system. Emily explained they have buddies, who are people who have lived experience of offending and are there to help those to prevent further offending.
Cllr Ruth Thompson said there was an awful lot not know on trauma, and that the medical system now use the term ‘expert’ rather than lived experience and she is impressed that this will help those who are currently living this experience.
Cllr Sandy Livingstone said they do great work and some of the benefits are not quantifiable and go beyond expectation.
Cllr Fiona Wilson said she thinks what ROAR does is phenomenal and their success rates are fantastic. She also thanked them for all the work their Volunteers do to help the community and the Town Council free events.

Cllr Fiona Wilson also raised the issue that Inspector Watkins said he was meeting with the Football Club to look at the parking issues and that they would be given an update that has not happened. Clerk will contact Inspector Watkins on this matter.
Cllr David Edwardes also expressed he was disappointed that there was no representatives of the police in Tytherington ward. There are lots of issues with fly tipping at the moment and graffiti continues to be a problem. In the minutes the police said they had spoken to the person they thought was responsible for the graffiti and yet there were 31 instances that very week after. He has heard that they are coordinating on Instagram to publish pictures of their work. He has taken it up with the PCC, John Dwyer, who said he encourages people to keep reporting it so the police can build a picture and deal with it. Any instances can be emailed to the Assistant Town Clerk who will report them to the local police.

8 Community Delivery
8.1 Local Police Unit
Chief Inspector Christian Watkins sent his apologies.
8.2 CAB
The report was noted. Will McKellar, CO of the CAB, also attended the meeting and gave a verbal update.
Highlights from the report are:
- CAB deliver to clients through information, advice and advocacy.
- In recent years a lot of potential clients can find information out themselves and therefore they gave more advice and advocacy than ever and the issues are more and more complex.
- Money advice debt clients mainly have some mental health issues and they will never be able to repay those debts.
- They deal with a lot of employment issues.
- Last quarter 909, unique clients and there were 1788 issues, before covid they dealt with 793 clients so there is a big uptick in clients.
- They have lost a lot of volunteers since covid, so there is less open door sessions than there used to be but this is slowly improving.
- Benefits and debt are still the majority of issues. Cost of living issues are driving people to apply for disability benefits even though they will not qualify as they try to maximise their incomes as much as possible.
- More older people are applying for attendance allowance also, as lack of finances is driving them to look for other income. Many will qualify but also may have qualified for PIP.
- Issues around housing as more landlords are selling houses as they cannot afford the mortgage increases. This is affecting the already affected rental, sector as there are less houses to rent.
Cllr David Edwardes thanked Will and said as he understands that landlords are allowed to put the rent up by the rate of inflation, he said some clients must be suffering and having no finances to live.
Will replied that you strip down someone’s expenditure and then look to maximise their income to help them budget financially. Now domestic fuel is exceeding the amount of many people’s income. They work with creditors to show they cannot pay and they can write off debt or wait for repayments.
Cllr Sandy Livingstone also thanked Will and the CAB. He said he works in the social housing sector so he understands there is not enough social housing and at the same time the private rental sector is also getting squeezed,

3. Retiring Mayor of Macclesfield Remarks
Cllr Wilson congratulated Cllr Wilcock and wished him the most wonderful 12 months in the role.
Cllr Wilsons said she has had the most amazing year, and that her interest in politics started at school while attending a class called the ‘History Behind the News’, never dreaming that she would become the Mayor of Macclesfield, which Cllr Wilson says has been as honour to serve our town.
The Mayoral theme was ‘Our Community, Stronger Together’, and Cllr Wilson chose this as, being a Councillor she recognises how important the community is. All the Civic events were open to the community, as Cllr Wilson felt it important to provided free events in the town during this current economic climate, and many residents have told her that it is making a difference.
Cllr Wilson saw it as her role to promote Macclesfield, doing tv and radio interviews, visiting local businesses, working as a member of the Town Centre Recovery Working group and visiting many community groups and organisations, schools and care homes.
Cllr Wilson thanked the Town Hall volunteers who help out with various events and activities and a thankyou event was held for them at the Town hall, where they gave very positive feedback on their volunteering experience.
Cllr Wilson spoke of her charities, Macclesfield Youth Brass Band, who she said have enhanced her year and performed at many events, and North West Air Ambulance, who deliver pre hospital care to those injured. The year was about promoting the charities and raising their profiles.
Highlights of the year were firstly the centenary picinic in South Park, held on a beautiful summers day and where consultation took part on the pavilion design.
Cllr Wilson also spoke of the honour of the Proclamation of King Charles III, the first Mayor in 70 years to do so. Then of the emotional Remembrance Service, where many young people attended.
Cllr Wilson also spoke of the brilliant Civic Awards ceremony held at Macclesfield Football club and the Civic event held at the Town Hall for Macclesfield FC becoming champions.
Finally, her happiest day as Mayor was the Mayor’s Coronation Tea Party.
Cllr Wilson then thanked her Consort, her husband, Brian Puddicombe, who has been an amazing consort and become an excellent photographer, and she paid tribute to Brain for his hard work for the community too.
Cllr Wilson thanked her fellow Councillors, saying what a hard working team they are, and the New Mayor and Mayoress and wished them the best of years,
Cllr Wilson thanked the Town Hall staff, for doing a brilliant job, saying we aim high and we make a difference.
Cllr Wilson also thanked the community and said there was no greater honour than to service your community, and good luck to all the councillors as they continue the projects from the last administration and work on new initiatives.
Cllr Wilson also thanked retired Cllr Janet Jackson for all her hard work over the years on behalf of the Council.
4. Tribute by the Incoming Mayor of Macclesfield to the Retiring Mayor of Macclesfield and Consort
Cllr Wilson, said the past 12 months for him have been very exciting, not only was there an election but also as he was honoured to be elected as Deputy Mayor for Cllr Wilson’s term of office. Cllr Wilcock thanked Cllr Wilson, saying she took to her Mayoral role like a duck to diving in headfirst into promoting Macclesfield as much as possible. Who could forget her first tv appearance when speaking about the water supply issues in her ward and more recently championing the successful abundance of local shops on Chestergate.
Cllr Wilson’s first civic event was the Mayor’s Centenary Picnic in South Park which was in conjunction with the consultation of the design of the new park pavilion which the public responded to in huge numbers. Cllr WIlson, as well as her consort Brian, have been incredibly busy over the last year visiting many local organisations ranging from charities to school visits. Cllr Wilcock himself was lucky enough to attend Cllr Wilson’s visit of Upton Priory school and the children had a fantastic time in her company and asked some very interesting questions!
He said that he thought one of the highlights of her year, and proudest, was the proclamation of King Charles III, this was the first proclamation in Macclesfield for 70 years and she delivered it expertly.
He stated Cllr Wilson’s passion for leisure and sport has been a big part of her year and this culminated in a Civic reception for Macclesfield FC who were victorious in securing another league title and promotion which she was there throughout most of the season.
Finally, Cllr Wilcock said Cllr Wilson has upheld her mayoral theme of “Our Community, Stronger Together” throughout her term of office in all she did, he said we have a wonderful community in Macclesfield and looking back at the events that have been organised the community came out in their droves to support her. So on behalf of the Macclesfield community, thank you.
5. Appointment (if known) of the Mayor’s Honourary Chaplain, Mayor’s Cadet, Introduction to the Mayor’s Charity/ies to be Supported and Plans for the Year
Cllr Wilcock amounted his theme for the year’ Live Macclesfield, Love Macclesfield’, he chose this theme as he believes Macclesfield is one of the best places to live with a great community who come together.
Cllr Wilcock appointed Rev Andy Williams from All Saints, as his Chaplain, and is in touch with the Air Cadets to appoint a Mayor’s cadet.
Cllr Wilcock has chosen charities personal to him, that were very helpful to his mother. Firstly they are East Cheshire Hospice, who do amazing work and secondly the East Cheshire Eye Society where is Mum was a member.
