The company are preparing a planning application for submission to Stockport MBC w/c 26th January and are inviting comment and feedback by 23rd January. We were told that brochures have been sent to nearby residents but a quick check amongst members indicates patchy coverage. However Morris Homes are keen to receive feedback from Marple residents and a copy of their information brochure can be downloaded HERE
The society will respond on behalf of members but any member or resident can respond individually using the form on the attached brochure.
The Civic Society position is that, in principle, we do not object to housing on the site. However we are anxious to ensure that the development fits in with the ideas behind our proposed independent urban design study.
One of our charitable objects is to campaign for good design, so that too is important to us. Finally, we will seek to secure for Marple some of the s106 money likely to go to the council.
