Holiday lodges plan for former Poynton poultry farm under review

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 09:02 · Archive

Cheshire East's planning committee will consider a proposal to demolish storage buildings at a former poultry farm and build nine holiday lodges, a café and shop.

Storage buildings at Price Poultry Farm on Green Lane in Poynton are proposed for demolition to make way for nine detached holiday lodges, a café and convenience store. The application is being considered by Cheshire East's northern planning committee on Thursday.

The holiday lodges would range from one-bedroom to three-bedroom units, arranged in a crescent layout along an internal access road. A facilities building would contain a shop, café, laundry room and gym, with covered outdoor seating provided by an overhanging canopy.

Ward councillor Jos Saunders called in the application citing concerns about inappropriate development in the green belt, sustainability and highways grounds. Poynton Town Council and 56 residents have objected to the proposal, whilst 11 households have written in support. The planning officer's report states the development would involve redevelopment of previously developed land without substantial harm to green belt openness, and would align with the council's ambitions to enhance the rural economy and recreation opportunities.

The planning committee is expected to delegate the application to planning officers for approval subject to receipt of outstanding highways and ecology information.
