Call for site inclusions

CHESHIRE East Council is making a call for sites which could potentially be included in the local plan for future development.

- 

Several sites were submitted as part of the call for land last year.

At a meeting of the environment and communities committee, councillors agreed to publicise and undertake a further call for sites.

But it was stressed those submitted as part of the 2024 call and listed in the report to the meeting have no additional status for planning purposes.

Macclesfield councillor Mary Brooks (Lab) said: “All this stuff is on social media saying that we've been considering proposals for sites, which isn’t the case. It’s a call for sites. We're not considering any sites at this meeting”

She highlighted a paragraph in the report to the committee which explained: “The inclusion of a site in the housing and economic land sustainability assessment does not confer any planning status on the site.
