ASDA and Kirkland Update - Marple Area Committee Report 6th February 2013

Marple Area Committee met on 6th February 2013 to consider planning applications from ASDA/ CAMSFC for a supermarket on the Hibbert Lane campus of Cheadle and Marple Sixth Form College and from Kirkland Developments for a foodstore on the site of Chadwick Street car park.

Reports from the council's planning department recommended that the ASDA/ CAMSFC application be refused planning permission and that the application by Kirkland Developments be granted planning permission.

In the event a decision the ASDA/ CAMSFC application was deferred until the next Marple Area Committee meeting on 27th February because information had been received from ASDA/ CAMSFC shortly before the Area Committee meeting and councillors had not had sufficient time to consider the content.

The Kirkland application was debated by councillors who unanimously recommended to Planning and Highways Committee to grant the application.

This means that a decision by councillors (recommendation to P & H) on the ASDA/ CAMSFC application will now take place on 27th February 2013 at 6-00pm at Marple Cricket and Squash Club, Bowden Lane.

Although members of the public will not be allowed to speak a good turnout will help let ASDA know what Marple thinks about their application.
