Get ready to object

There's no planning application yet, so there's nothing formal to object to. This is the time to get organised, tell the developer and councillors what you think, and be ready when the application goes in.

  • Good planning grounds include: impact on the Green Belt or countryside, energy use and carbon, water supply, noise, traffic, wildlife and heritage. Developers' promises are not guarantees: ask for them to be made binding.

Email contact@spodegreendc.com or call 0800 707 4103 (developer feedback channel, per Macclesfield Times); watch for the Cheshire East planning application; join the residents' working group.
