WHITEHALL MEADOW - CONSULTATION RESPONSE

The proposal is a blank canvas in terms of the style, size and mix of dwellings; however, the provision of a new 50-space car park is proposed at the southeast corner of the site (adjacent to the footpath on Wilmslow Road) which would help to meet the village's current and future all-day parking requirements and which would be gifted to the Parish Council on completion, thereby providing a long-term economic benefit to the community.  In particular, a car park at this location would help alleviate pressure on Brook Lane and Lynton Lane.  The Parish Council consider this to be a less environmentally sustainable development than Beech Road (above), but this is balanced against the fact that vehicles leaving the site could travel north to Wilmslow and beyond without having to enter Alderley Edge village.  We are of the view that if this development went ahead, there would need to be a Section 278 agreement to construct a roundabout on Wilmslow Road to facilitate vehicular egress from the site.  With this in mind, we could support in principle, a development of 50 new homes at this location.
