LOCAL PLAN (PART 1) ADOPTION

Part 1 of the Cheshire East Local Plan was approved earlier today at a meeting of Full Council. This part of the plan allocates sites for housing development and employment land across the Key Service Centres (i.e. the major towns across Cheshire East, e.g. Wilmslow, Macclesfield etc). Part 2 of the Local Plan will deal with the Local Service Centres (of which Alderley Edge is one) and the first draft of the Site Allocations Development Policies Document is expected to be published by late September. At this time, we should start to see which sites are proposed around Alderley Edge and whether there are going to be any adaptations to the green belt boundaries. Watch this space!
