Plans for Bank Street plot

A Bank Street plot of land could soon secure approval for a residential development of 12 units.

MSB Developments is behind the application which was set to go before Cheshire East Council’s planning committee on 12 August but a decision was deferred to allow a site visit to be undertaken.

However, due to potential difficulties in maintaining social distance requirements this was deemed not possible. Additional images and visual materials will instead be provided as part of the officer’s presentation at the virtual meeting on 9 September.

Proposed is building 12 units across two blocks – down from 14 after the plans were amended.

A report to the committee said: “The proposal provides a modern, but locally distinctive design, which also raises no significant highway safety, ecological or flood risk concerns, and does not raise any significant concerns in terms of the impact of the development upon the living conditions of neighbours.”

Approval has been recommended by planning officers.
