  • C/R/D Summary Skeleton Document
    Application No: 19/3774M Location: LIDGETTS LANE, RAINOW, MACCLESFIELD Proposal: The proposed development includes a new service reservoir, construction compounds and connection pipework to the exiting service reservoir. Applicant: Mr Michael Barton, United Utilities Plc Expiry Date: 14-Feb-2020 SUMMARY The proposed development seeks the erection of a new Service reservoir and associated infrastructure within close proximity to an existing facility in order to allow servicing and maintenance of the existing reservoir and in effect, provide a ‘back-up’ option for the local water supply. The proposal would represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of its impact upon openness and encroachment. There would also be limited landscape harm created. However, it is deemed that Very Special Circumstances apply that clearly outweigh this harm. More specifically, the significant implications on local water supply if the facility not provided (in event of failure of the existing facility) and the because of the subsequent likely greater landscape implications of the alterative option which is to lay several kilometres of pipework and erect new pumping stations across a greater area. As such, the principle of the proposal is deemed to be acceptable. The scheme is deemed to be of an appropriate functional design that would not create any significant concerns with regards to; highways, amenity, landscape, trees, nature conservation, flooding and drainage, archaeology or Public Rights of Way, subject to conditions where necessary. For the above reasons, the application is recommended for approval. RECOMMENDATION APPROVE subject to conditions REASON FOR REFERRAL The application has been referred to Northern Planning Committee because it relates to a commercial development comprising of a site between 2 and 4 hectares.

  • Bollington at the Time of the 1911 Census
    A Century Ago – Bollington at the time of the 1911 census SOMEWAYS DIFFERENT…SOMEWAYS NOT. The Bollington of 100 years ago was not so very different in appearance from the Bollington of today, give or take wedges of new housing at Bollington Cross, Ingersley Road and elsewhere. The basic physical outline of the village with its stone cottages and houses was already in place alongside the churches, public houses and other community features in that Census year 1911. The aqueduct carrying the Canal across the valley was there, and the railway viaduct with the green sward of the (Gnat Hole) Recreation Ground between them. White Nancy had been standing guard on Kerridge Hill from 1815 onwards. The Cotton Mills (Clarence, Adelphi and Olivers’ Waterhouse Mill) were working and the Paper Mill, Oak Bank, and others. There were, to be sure, many more shops and, other than on foot, by horse, train, and such cars as there were, there was no great back and forth to Macclesfield and beyond. Supermarkets lay in the future and Bollington was much more self-contained than it is now. The skies above were quiet with no Manchester Airport nearby and the main noise (and smell) in the streets came from horses, although cars were beginning to make an appearance. With no radios, TV sets or Internet it was naturally the case that folk knew more about their actual neighbours than “breaking news” about people on the other side of the world and in the country at large. Yet, without a doubt, events national and international could have their impact in Bollington as when the American Civil War had (many years before) shut down our Cotton Mills through lack of raw materials.

  • Supported Bus Service Review
    Supported Bus Service Review This information booklet sets out Cheshire East Council’s proposals for changes to supported (subsidised) bus services and flexible transport (Little Bus) across Cheshire East. The purpose of this consultation is to understand how our proposed changes to local buses currently supported by Cheshire East Council would affect you. The local bus network in Cheshire East is a mixture of: Supported bus services which are subsidised by the Council and operated on our behalf; and Commercial bus services which are run by private operators who have full control over how, where and when bus services are run. This consultation considers only supported bus services subsidised by Cheshire East Council. Why we are consulting The Council is planning to make cost savings of £1.6 million on its current supported bus budget. These savings are needed to help meet the Council’s challenging budget targets that were agreed in February 2017. Overall, the Council is expecting to see cash reductions of almost £100 million for the 3 year period 2017 to 2020 compared with the baseline budget for 2016/17. Further information on the Council’s budget can be found at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/budget If this proposed reduction is approved, the Council would still spend over £2 million a year supporting local buses. The focus of the bus review is on providing the greatest value for money with some services presently costing over £5 of subsidy per passenger journey. This information booklet sets out how we propose to achieve this saving. We are committed to best meeting the needs of residents within the resources available.

Barriers N/A Toilets Bollington viaduct, Nelson Pit Visitor Centre, Marple Cheshire East Council 01625 383700 Contact Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council 0161 4744512 Route Details The Middlewood Way, part of NCN 55 offers a 10-mile (16-km) traffic-free route ideal for cyclists. It follows the line of the former Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway through picturesque Cheshire countryside and between historic mill towns. For much of its length, the Middlewood Way runs close to the Macclesfield Canal. In 1863, the town of Marple, Bollington and Macclesfield were facing economic depression. Local dignitaries, in particular the cotton mill owners of Bollington, hoped that a new railway would improve their fortunes, and presented a scheme to Parliament. The Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway opened in 1869. The line carried cotton, silk, coal and passengers, but always struggled to make a profit. It was closed in 1970 and redeveloped for recreation as the Middlewood Way in 1985. The Macclesfield Canal was completed in 1831, very late for a canal – so late that it was almost a railway! Coal from Poynton, stone from Kerridge and hats from Stockport were some of the cargoes carried.
