    Appendix 4 Detailed Proposals for Each Ward – Organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP)

    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.

  • Cheshire East Parish Council Cluster Group Consultation Response

    Cheshire East Parish Council Cluster Group Consultation Response

    HIGH LEGH PARISH COUNCIL HS2 PHASE 2 CONSULTATION RESPONSE i. Do you agree or disagree with the Government’s proposed route between the West Midlands and Manchester as described in Chapter 7 [of the consultation document]? This includes the proposed route alignment, the location of tunnels, ventilation shafts, cuttings, viaducts and depots as well as how the high speed line will connect to the West Coast Main Line. We do not agree with the Government’s proposal to build a High Speed rail line between London and Manchester for the following reasons:- As the HS2 route passes directly through the area represented by the cluster group it will inevitably impact on residents, businesses, farms and the local environment. Various meeting have taken place throughout 2013 at which decisions have been taken not to support HS2 as proposed. We require a much more direct route London to Manchester in keeping with the spirit of the original brief from government “direct city centre to city centre”. It is essential that any new or amended route makes increased use of tunnelling, cuttings and false cuttings, for example, and reduce the severance of communities and farms by providing bridges and under bridges along the route. If such changes can be secured we would suffer reduced blight, maintain the maximum amount of productive farmland and reduce the loss of property and harm to residents. Meetings have already taken place with HS2, and will continue to do so to ensure our concerns are understood. Six key issues have emerged through this process identifying where the Parish Council Group should focus its efforts to change the existing line and reduce the impact of the route: · Impacts on farms.

    Hand-List of the Legh of Booths Charters in the John Rylands Library

    HAND-LIST OF THE LEGH OF BOOTHS CHARTERS IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. BY F. TAYLOR, M.A., PH.D. KEEPER OF MANUSCRIPTS AND ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. documents listed below relate to the old Cheshire A family of Legh of Norbury Booths Hall, near Knutsford, and its estates from the late thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. They were saved from destruction 1 last century by the antiquary Richard Henry Wood (1820-1908), a scholar associated for many years with local history studies in Cheshire and Lancashire, and now form part of the large and important manuscript collection which he brought together from many sources. A general survey of this collection, which was deposited in the Library in 1940 by Captain J. Hatton Wood, has been given elsewhere,2 and it is perhaps sufficient here to notice that, in addition to the Legh charters, it is rich in monastic documents (twelfth-fifteenth century) and rare seals,3 and contains several royal grants (the earliest dating from the reign of Henry I), as well as a considerable number of miscellaneous deeds, mostly pre-1500, relating to some twenty-five counties. The Cheshire element of the Hatton Wood MSS., excluding the Legh charters, is comparatively small, numbering only thirty-six documents. Certain of these, however, are worthy of note, among them being eight thirteenth-century charters of the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, five leases (1562-1647) from the Master and Brethren of the Hospital of St. John without the North Gate, Chester, a letter from Burghley to Edmund Gammell, late Mayor of Chester (Oct.

    LAND AT, ULLARD HALL LANE, PLUMLEY, KNUTSFORD Proposal: CONSTRUCT a TEMPORARY AGRICULTURAL WORKERS DWELLING to SUPPORT a NEW FREE RANGE EGG ENTERPRISE

    Application No: 10/2744M Location: LAND AT, ULLARD HALL LANE, PLUMLEY, KNUTSFORD Proposal: CONSTRUCT A TEMPORARY AGRICULTURAL WORKERS DWELLING TO SUPPORT A NEW FREE RANGE EGG ENTERPRISE. For MR BEN WHARFE Registered 21-Jul-2010 Policy Item No Grid Reference 374401 375163 Date Report Prepared: 17 September 2010 SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION Approve subject to conditions MAIN ISSUES Impact on: - Character and openness of the North Cheshire Green Belt - Highway safety - Agricultural justification/need - Landscape setting and surrounding area - Design/materials - Residential amenity - Environmental health matters - Trees - Ecology - Prevailing policy REASON FOR REPORT The application for temporary worker’s accommodation has been submitted in parallel with a planning application (10/2729M) for the erection of an agricultural building in which the proposed free-range egg enterprise would be established. That application is the subject of a separate appraisal. Should that application be refused, there would be no justification for the proposed dwelling, and to this extent the two applications are directly linked. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND CONTEXT The site consists of 56 acres of open, previously undeveloped Green Belt land, situated to the south of Ullard Hall Lane a no-through road which serves a small number of farms and residential properties. A relatively well established hedge forms the northern boundary of the site (to Ullard Hall Lane) which contains four large trees of note to this boundary. An oil pipeline intercepts the field running from north to south. The M6 runs to the southwest of the site. The site is located within the North Cheshire Green Belt as defined by the MBLP.
