Following a complaint from a local resident, I asked the Council’s Planning Enforcement team to check the appearance of an advertising hoarding on Cheadle High Street – on the side wall of Cheadle Deli by the old BT building.

Hoardings like that need planning permission, and it’s in the conservation area. I had a look on the online planning system and couldn’t find anything.

The Enforcement people have now come back and confirmed that no planning has been applied for. They’ve written to the owner, Wrexham Signs, informing them that it must be removed by 23rd June. If it isn’t, appropriate action (which may include legal action) can be taken.
