Draft Prestbury Supplementary Planning Document
Following the production of the Prestbury Parish
Plan, Cheshire East Council has prepared a
Supplementary Planning Document for Prestbury Parish in
partnership with the Parish working group. This document is
based on the planning issues identified by the community during the
production of the Parish Plan. It supplements a number of policies
within the adopted Macclesfield Borough
Local Plan (2004) with the intention of relating them more
specifically to the Parish of Prestbury.
Consultation
The Draft Prestbury
Supplementary Planning Document (PDF, 3.1MB) was the subject of
public consultation for six weeks between Monday 11th January 2010
and Monday 22nd February 2010.
Sustainability Appraisal
The Council is required to carry out a Sustainability Appraisal
of the proposals in the Supplementary Planning Document under the
Town and Country Planning Act 2004, to assess whether the document
will contribute towards achieving sustainable development.
The Scoping Report
(PDF, 475KB) was previously the subject of public consultation in
July and August 2009 and sets out the scope and level of detail
that will be set out in the Sustainability Appraisal.
The Draft
Sustainability Appraisal (PDF, 660KB) concludes that document
will contribute to sustainable development.
Habitats Regulations Assessment
The Council has prepared a Draft Habitats Regulations
Screening Report (PDF, 1.8MB) to determine whether further
assessment under the Habitats Regulations is required. This
screening report concludes that the Prestbury Supplementary
Planning Document is unlikely to have significant effects on any
European sites for nature conservation, and therefore no further
assessment is required under the Habitats Regulations.
Next Steps
Now that the consultation period has ended, all responses
received are being considered prior to the publication of the final
document. Once finalised, the Prestbury Supplementary Planning
Document will be adopted as a supplement to the Macclesfield
Borough Local Plan 2004 and will become a material consideration in
the determination of planning applications in the Parish of
Prestbury. Formal adoption of the document is expected during
the autumn of 2010.
