I start by saying Mrs. Editor has always been interested in genealogy and started on her own family tree when she was quite young and she has now traced much of her family history back to about the 13th century. Genealogy has now, of course, become quite a popular subject because of programmes like Who do you think you are and the advent of companies like Ancestry.com online. Most people are interested in their family history but don’t Annual Box Opening Event Raises £2,366 bother to pursue It or don’t know how to go about pursuing it. Because of Mrs. Editor's interest in genealogy, however, one of our sons, together with his lady Cast your mind back to that Open Garage Day in October.

We were sent particulars of the procedure by the company together with curiosity and with money in their hands. One of them, Julie Baines, won the raffle a little bottle each into which we had to deposit, as elegantly as possible, a sample basket - she was delighted. of saliva. I would add that we both executed this potentially inelegant procedure extremely decorously and off it went in the post. Fortunately, we didn't have to The following day a few phone calls caused a spate of boxes to tumble on to describe the contents of the package so the postman wouldn't think ‘Is this what doorsteps to be picked up; further phone calls caused a gentle drift of cheques to my life has now come to?’ We then waited in excited trepidation for the result. drop through our letterbox. Now, in the case of Mrs. Editor, as I said, she already had some knowledge of her family set-up. For instance, she knew there were French Huguenots on her family It is such a joy to live among a community with such generosity of spirit.

  • DC075491 Reference Location: Former Compstall Printworks Andrew Street Compstall Stockport SK6 5HN
    ITEM Application DC075491 Reference Location: Former Compstall Printworks Andrew Street Compstall Stockport SK6 5HN PROPOSAL: Demolition (in part) of the former Compstall Printworks and construction of 18 no. dwelling houses and 14 apartments with associated car parking and landscape Type Of Full Application Application: Registration 17/12/2019 Date: Expiry Date: 17/03/2020 Case Officer: Mark Burgess Applicant: Andrew Street 2018 Agent: Studio KMA DELEGATION/COMMITTEE STATUS Committee Item. Should Marple Area Committee be minded to agree the Officer recommendation to grant, the application shall be referred to the Planning and Highway Regulation Committee for determination as a Departure from the Development Plan. BACKGROUND Members may recall a previous planning application at the site (Reference : DC055286), which sought full planning permission for the demolition (in part) of the former Compstall Printworks and the construction of 18 no. dwelling houses and 14 no. apartments with associated car parking and landscaping. The application was considered by both Marple Area Committee and the Planning and Highways Regulation Committee. On the 9th October 2014, the Planning and Highways Regulation Committee resolved to grant planning permission for the development, with the decision deferred and delegated to Officers, subject to the completion of a Section 106 Agreement to secure relevant open space provision and Traffic Regulation Orders. The previous applicant did not complete the Section 106 Agreement and the site was subsequently sold to the current owner. As the Section 106 Agreement was not signed and sealed, the application was formally withdrawn on the 12th March 2019. The current scheme before Members effectively comprises a re-submission of the previously withdrawn application (DC055286) which Members resolved to grant, other than in relation to the tenure of the proposed development, which will now be solely for the provision of affordable housing delivered by Stockport Homes.
