Morris Homes Development of Hibbert Lane (Chatsworth Grange)

Finding the right economic and environmental balance is always a difficult achievement.

[Jerome Caminada]

This is potentially a great opportunity for the Colege to work with Marple Athletic JFC and other local sports clubs to develop a modern state of the art floodlit all weather sports facility to serve generations of local children and adults....let's hope we don't miss this opportunity!

I think that's what this council minute refers to:

'RESOLVED – That planning permission be granted subject to the completion of a section 106 agreement in respect to open space provision and associated highway works'.

I don't think a possible shortage of school places is anything to worry about - it's not difficult to build extra classrooms as long as there is space on site.

Trees don't pay rates

lovely park in marple .for dog walkers .some seam to think

[Bowden Guy]

Every house that has ever been built in Marple used to be "green fields".

[mikes]

Indeed so, but sadly few people seem to value such things any more.

Open fields and trees would be nice.

It would have been nice to have had something given back to the community,  for example a park or green area.

Yes, with the Asda, Semms Rd  and  Hibbert Lane development, Marple is going to have a bit of a traffic management problem.

It would have been nice to have had something given back to the community,  for example a park or green area.  Instead we will have had 2 schools  and 1 collage closed - all the land will have been sold off to be developed into housing.  As a result of this  increase in housing (and increase in birth rates), we will have a shortage of school places - what a well thought out strategic decision made by the council to close 3 schools and build one large school!!!

Of coarse .you don't want homes you dint want Asda what do some want .

And a lot more cars trying to get in and out of Marple at rush hour.

I'd have thought that the SEMMMS relief road would create far more traffic than 94 homes.

Happy to be corrected, but I think that is just the first stage with the area committee. I think it now has to go to council?

I agree with you. I was at the Area Committee Meeting and I believe that the decision made was to pass it to the Planning & Highways Committee with a recommendation to grant. That's also what Marple Civic Society's notes from the meeting suggest but it's not what the minutes of the meeting on the council site seem to say though:

RESOLVED – That planning permission be granted subject to the completion of a section 106 agreement in respect to open space provision and associated highway works.

I think on the whole it's a good development but I feel more could have been done for the two Lyme Grove residents who are most effected by the plans. I thought at one point our councillors were going to push a bit harder on that but in the end they didn't.

Planning permission for the 94 new houses now granted, see link to Area Committee meeting 10-Jun-2015, item 7 (ii).

I guess that will mean portacabins in Rose Hill School

And a lot more cars trying to get in and out of Marple at rush hour.
