LAND AT 2A BROOKSIDE - APPEAL DISMISSED

I am pleased to confirm that this application for the erection of a contemporary dwelling and associated works in the garden of Brookside Villas, has been dismissed on appeal. Along with a group of residents and representatives from the Edge Association, as well as officers from Cheshire East Council, I attended and spoke at an appeal hearing held at Macclesfield Town Hall on 29th November. The inspector concluded that "taken overall the proposal would harm the protected trees on the site, the area’s character and appearance and the setting of the locally listed building". The application was a re-submission of application 16/2142M which had also been refused by Cheshire East Council.
