An application has been submitted to the Council to convert the launderette at 78 Church Road, by Gatley Green, to a take-away/pizza delivery.

As usual, I won’t comment on this as, were I to come out for or against at this stage, I might not be able to participate in taking the decision if it comes before the councillors.  However, both Pam and I are concerned about having too many take-aways and fast food places in our villages.  There are provisions in our planning rules to stop that happening, though there’s a debate to be had on whether they go far enough.

You can view the application here.  As there are already seven objections, the application will either be rejected by the planning officers, or will come to Cheadle Area Committee to be considered by councillors.
