New plans for Gypsy site at Moor Lane - Cheshire

From the wilmslow.co.uk

A second planning application has been submitted to Cheshire East Council (CEC) to build a Gypsy site on Green Belt land to the north west of Moor Lane.


This is a resubmission of controversial plans to build a a Gypsy site on the outskirts of Wilmslow, which were refused in July 2012.

Green Planning Solutions has submitted the application on behalf of Mr John Allan, who is seeking permission for one residential family pitch, a touring caravan and a utility/day room to provide facilities for stationed caravans.

Access to the 0.46 hectare site will be via Moor Lane and the development will be located approximately 40m from the entrance.

During July and August 2012 badger, reptile and water vole surveys have been carried out on the site which has five Local Wildlife Sites within 1km and immediately borders Saltersley Moss.

No reptiles were recorded, although common toads use the site, and no field signs of water vole or badger were found on the sites - two disused badger sets were found just outside the boundary and there are records of water voles in the adjacent Saltersley Moss.

The planning application, reference 12/4247M, can be viewed on the Cheshire East Council website.

The last date for submitting comments is 12th December and a decision is expected to be made by 1st January 2013.

The Council received over 600 letters objecting to the initial proposal (reference 12/1144M). Due to the significant local interest in the proposal the Head of Development referred the decision to the Northern Planning Committee.
