Dear Mr Corrie,
I am writing in response to your request for information below (ref 4535).
The response to your request has been prepared by the relevant Council
service and is as follows:
There are no formal minutes of the meeting between the Council’s Chief
Executive and representatives of Cheadle and Marple Sixth Form College.
During the informal discussion the Chief Executive made the Council’s
planning policy position clear, that is, that the Council could not
support large scale retail at the Hibbert Lane site. The discussion also
covered whether there were alternative ways in which the Council could
support the College in achieving its resourcing requirements for
redevelopment which would obviate the need for any retail development. It
was agreed to maintain a dialogue moving forward.
If you are unhappy with the way we have handled your request you are
entitled to ask for an internal review. Any internal review will be
carried out by a senior member of staff who was not involved with your
original request. To ask for an internal review, contact
[1][email address] in the first instance.
If you are unhappy with the outcome of any internal review, you are
entitled to complain to the Information Commissioner. To do so, contact:
