Revised plans have been submitted to demolish a vacant clinic and house on Alderley Road and replace them with a three storey building containing 12 apartments, along with a six bed detached house.
Williams Developments have submitted the application following the refusal of a previous scheme (16/3285M) for 21 apartments and a detached house which members of the Northern Planning Committee rejected in February by 11 votes to 1.
The initial plans were refused because the proposed building would over-dominate the surrounding site and, due to its height and proximity to the road, it would have an unacceptable impact on the street scene.
The revised plans (reference 17/2117M) are for 12 three-bedroom apartments and a single detached dwelling which will be predominantly two storey and have 6 bedrooms.
The site comprises three plots of land: 77 Alderley Road- occupied by the former and now vacant Fernleigh Consulting Clinic; 79 Alderley Road – occupied by a residential property and a vacant garden plot, adjacent to No 13 Greenway and accessed from there.
The plans can be viewed on the Cheshire East Council website by searching for planning reference 17/2117M. The last date for submitting comments is June 1st and a decision is expected by 21st July.

Have to say that this shows what can be achieved with planning consultants who are willing to improve their design in the interests of aesthetics.
Some towns are twinned with romantic sounding places in France, maybe ours should be twinned with the Rhinoceros.
