Cheshire East planning policy documents consultation.
Cheshire East Council has published two planning policy-related documents for consultation:
Final Draft Houses in Multiple Occupation Supplementary Planning Document (“HMO SPD”)
Consultation took place between 26th October 2020 and 23rd December 2020 on the initial Draft HMO SPD.
The Final Draft HMO SPD has been now been published alongside a Report of Consultation. The Report of Consultation sets out the responses received to the initial Draft HMO SPD and how they have been taken into account in the final version.
The HMO SPD provides guidance for all parties involved in the planning application process, explaining how Cheshire East Council will assess planning applications that involve the change of use (or extension) of buildings to HMOs across the Borough.
Representations are invited to be made about the Final Draft HMO SPD and the Report of Consultation between the 26 April 2021 and 5:00pm on 7 June 2021. Further information is available on the council’s consultation portal.
Draft Housing Supplementary Planning Document (“Housing SPD”)
The Draft Housing SPD has been published for consultation and provides further guidance on the implementation of policies in the Local Plan, including SC4 ‘residential mix’, SC5 ‘affordable homes’ and SC6 ‘rural exceptions housing for local needs’ of the Local Plan Strategy. This is the first stage of consultation on the SPD which, once adopted, will be a material consideration in decision-taking.
The consultation will run from 26 April 2021 to 5:00pm on 7 June 2021. Further information is available on the council’s website.
