Consideration was given to a report of the Strategic Director Places and Organisational Capacity on the regeneration of the South Macclesfield Development Area, a strategic site in the north of the Borough. The report set out the current intentions for the site, a proposed delivery strategy and the leadership role of the Council would provide to develop the site and to help existing businesses and community facilities to relocate over the coming years.
At the meeting an amendment was made to the wording of the second decision requested to add the words ‘the masterplanning process for’ before the South Macclesfield Development Area.
The report detailed four delivery options, of which Option 3 was recommended, with the Council taking an initial lead in developing an outline masterplan for the site. Timing was considered to be a key issue so as to ensure that the opportunities for development could be included in the consultation process for the new Cheshire East Local Plan.
