• Statement of Community Involvement
• Alsager Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document
• Smallwood Village Design Statement Supplementary Planning Document
• Local List of Historic Buildings and its accompanying Supplementary Planning Document

N.B: Appendices 1 – 9 of the report can be viewed on the Councils website as part of a supplementary agenda pack to this agenda and are available upon request from Democratic Services.  For Members of the Council printed copies will be placed on deposit in the Cabinet Office and in the Members Room at Westfields

Consideration was given to a number of documents forming part of the Cheshire East Local Development Framework.  It was noted that the Statement of Community Involvement, Alsager Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document, Smallwood Village Design Statement Supplementary Planning Document and the Local List of Historic Buildings and its Supplementary Planning Document  had all been considered by the Strategic Planning Board at its meeting on 14 July; it had been recommended that these documents be adopted subject to: -

(1)    any references to agencies/policies contained within the document which have now been abolished be deleted from the document.

(2)    reference to Partnerships on page 108 of the report should be included under Voluntary Bodies.

(3)    that the LSP is now referred to as PACE (Partnerships for Action in Cheshire East) and the document should be amended to reflect this change.

Cabinet considered these comments and noted that the change of name of the LSP to PACE was due to be announced formally in the near future.  It was agreed, however, that all the existing terminology in the documents should be retained until such time as the agencies/policies referred to had been formally abolished by Parliament and that these could then be amended in future revisions. 

RESOLVED

For the reasons set out in the report: -

That approval be given to the adoption of the Statement of Community Involvement Alsager Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document, the Smallwood Village Design Statement Supplementary Planning Document, the Local List of Historic Buildings and its accompanying Supplementary Planning Document and to commence the consultation process set out in paragraph 9.4 of the report.
