Dear Mr Redgard,

 

I am writing in response to your request for information (ref FOI 6926).

 

The relevant Council Service(s) has searched for the requested information
and our response is as follows/attached.

 

1) Stockport Council were formally notified of the consultation by
Cheshire East on their Local Plan: Development Strategy and Policy
Principles by email on 14^th January 2013.  See first attachment titled
‘Cheshire East Council Local Plan: Development Strategy and Policy
Principles Consultations’.

 

2), 3) and 4)

·         On 25^th January 2013 an email was sent from Richard Wood
(Stockport Council) to Adrian Fisher (Cheshire East) requesting that
officers from Cheshire East come and talk through the consultation
documents with key officers at Stockport (see second attachment titled
‘Your current consultations’).  This request was agreed to but it did not
prove possible to arrange a meeting in the immediate term.

·         At a meeting regarding other, unrelated matters on 27^th
February 2013, Paul Lawrence (Service Director, Place Development) took
the opportunity to iterate that Stockport Council has a number of concerns
with Cheshire East’s emerging Local Plan; these were set out in an email
the following day and were in the context of the discussion referred to
above having not yet taken place.

·         That discussion was subsequently arranged for 4^th March and
included representatives of Cheshire East, Stockport and AGMA.  The third
attachment (titled ‘Re: CEC Local Plan’) details the concerns set out by
Paul Lawrence as well as a response to those comments by Adrian Fisher
provided in advance of the meeting and an acknowledgement of that response
by Richard Wood.

·         The meeting of 4^th March took place involving Richard Wood,
Adrian Fisher, Stuart Penny (also Cheshire East Council), Anne Morgan
(AGMA Planning and Housing Team) and Chris Findley (Salford City Council,
planning lead officer for AGMA).  Cheshire East officers undertook to
prepare a note of that meeting but this has not yet been circulated. 
Stockport Council will make the note public when it is available as it is
considered to be an important part of evidencing meeting the statutory
Duty to Co-operate.

 

If you are unhappy with the way we have handled your request for
information, you are entitled to ask for an internal review; however you
must do so within 40 working days of the date of this response. Any
internal review will be carried out by a senior member of staff who was
