Marple Area Committee: Wednesday 11th December 6pm.

Area Committee - Wharf Planning Application

Included in the forthcoming area committee meeting will be consideration of the application for the Marple Wharf area. Andrew Moorhouse will be speaking on behalf of the society, laying out reasons why this application should be refused.

The society supports in every way the proposal by the Wharf Project to bring to life a historic building for community purposes linked to the Marple canal heritage. However, the application comes as a package with seven houses and an ancillary refuse storage building and we believe there is not enough space to accommodate all the component developments proposed within it. 

Granting planning permission would not result in the best outcome for Marple and its canal heritage. Members are encouraged to attend the meeting and show the Area Committee the level of interest surrounding this matter and cause them to carefully consider their decision.
