Some of you will know that the developers behind the plans to build 278 homes on Gatley Golf Course have reviewed their application with some amendments.

Because of this, residents and interested parties are being asked to submit further comments to the Council’s consultation on the proposals. It is therefore advisable to comment again, even if you have done this already. 

Councillors who sit on the Area Committee have been advised by the Planning Department that by making their feelings clear now will mean they may be stopped from voting when the application is determined. However, I and Cllr Ian Hunter have already made our feelings clear on the proposals, and the amended plans have not changed our mind. 

There has clearly been no attempt made by the developer to reduce the impact the plans will have on the ecology of the site, nor reduce the impact on local roads. We are therefore continuing to object to the plans.

Because these are amendments to the original application, the consultation has been reopened for local people to have their say.

It is vital that as many people as possible provide comments and feedback on the plans.

If you would like to review the proposals and submit comments please go to https://planning.Stockport.gov.uk/PlanningData-live/ and use the reference number DC/081468 (dated 7th June 2021) NB This is the second of the two applications listed.  Or write to the planning department at: Planning Directorate, Stopford House, Stockport, SK1 3XE. Comments must be in by 30th August.
To assist on what a “valid comment” may be, we have helpfully prepared a briefing sheet on this webpage which you can access at: 

Which objections can be taken into account in a planning application?

I and my colleagues will keep residents updated on the plans as more information comes forward. However, if you have any further questions or want more information please contact me on the details below.
