The days are numbered for a former nightclub building which has been vacant for the past 12 years and become an eyesore, having suffered from vandalism and neglect.
Members of the Northern Planning Committee have approved plans to demolish the Victoria villa, most recently used as Yesterdays nightclub but originally a small hotel, and replace it with a residential development.
MCR Property Group will replace it with 12 dwellings, 4 of which will be affordable units.
The proposal was identified as an inappropriate form of development, which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt, but it was approved because there were deemed to be very special circumstances which outweigh the potential harm to the Green Belt.
The benefits include providing much needed affordable housing in Alderley Edge, making effective use of a previously developed site, removing the existing unsociable use of the nightclub and improving the appearance of the vacant site.
MCR Property Group, through an S106 legal agreement with Cheshire East Council, will provide £32,000 towards improving facilities at public open spaces in Alderley Edge.
