Cheadle Unite - Reasons why we exist

Appeal NOTE THIS TEXT IS HISTORICAL PLEASE READ NEWS FOR THE LATEST AND OTHER SECTIONS

Representation Forms need to be filled out to highlight how as residents we view the proposed development.

Guidance notes explaining how to fill out the representation and the representation forms are both available here under the heading 'Representations':

There are also contact details on that page that should allow a request for paper copies of the forms if desireable.

The Modification Number is M28 and the proposed change: Identifying new areas 6 and 7 East Cheadle

Issues for concern over the Cheadle East development might include:

• Any potential road bottlenecking and traffic congestion, parking
• Any access restrictions to work places such as the Cheadle West Industrial Park
• Any lack of road planning (traffic easing) measures and plans
• Any lack of green walk to work options (poor work force planning)
• Quality of life issues related to traffic delays, reduced access to green field vistas & increased distance to rural walks
• Ecology concerns for wildlife around the town
• Any concerns over a vision for longer term environmentally green development
• Any lack of sustainability
• Any unrealistic level of development for the town

The council term ‘representation’ does place value on a fact based focus of information as the main purpose of the representation document.

SMDC have spent time and public money producing Traffic and Sustainabilty reports.

These independently produced public documents should be seen as an important element in contributing to a fact based representation to the council. Referencing these documents is a powerful argument. New views are also paramount.

It really is worth reading these documents before filling out the representation form, they highlight ways in which Cheadle East shouldn’t carry the brunt. They are buried on the SMDC website, so direct links are given below:

Cheadle Unite Residents have asked an ecologist to assess the wildlife impact on Cheadle East,

various areas of concern were highlighted by the ecologist at the first Cheadle Unite meeting (see info for minutes).

Mobberley (The South West) fought off development proposals, these documents highlight Cheadle East is an even less desirable option.

Please note that every member of a family has a right to fill out a representation and be counted (not just a household). Personalised representations are important.

The previous representations for Cheadle are also available here:
