Compulsory purchase order and side roads orders

The next stage in the development of Poynton Relief Road is the acquisition of land to enable the scheme to be built. In parallel with negotiations to acquire land voluntarily a Compulsory Purchase Process has been initiated along with a Side Roads Order (SRO) to create and amend the necessary highway rights required to deliver the scheme.

The Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO) and Side Roads Orders (SRO) notices were made on the 15 November 2017.

A Public Inquiry was convened to consider the objections on the 20 to 29 November 2018 at Macclesfield Town Hall.

Following the Public Inquiry, the Secretary of State for Transport confirmed the Orders, with modifications, on 26 April 2019. The confirmed  CPO Order authorises the Council to compulsorily acquire the land and new rights over land required for the scheme.

The  SRO , as confirmed, authorises the Council to:

(a) improve, divert, raise, lower or other alter lengths of highway;

(b) stop up lengths of highway;

(c) construct new lengths of highway;

(d) stop up private means of access; and(e) provide new private means of access
