Revised Timetable For Woodford Aerodrome Decision

A new timetable has been drawn up to approve Stockport’s Council’s final Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for the Woodford Aerodrome site.

Revised meeting dates have been agreed because of the large number of responses from residents and community groups as part of the consultation on the draft SPD.
 
More than 500 people had their say on the draft SPD, which will provide guidance for the future of the site and ensure the delivery of a development that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
 
The new timetable gives extra time to ensure all responses are carefully analysed and fed into the final SPD.
 
The final SPD will now go through the following approval process:

• Stockport Council’s Planning and Highways Committee
  6.00pm Thursday 6th December at Stockport Town Hall
• Stockport Council’s Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme Area Committee (extraordinary meeting)
  6.30pm on Monday 10th December at The Woodford Centre, Chester Road, Woodford
• Stockport Council’s Environment and Economy Scrutiny Committee (extraordinary meeting)
  6.00pm on Tuesday 18th December at Stockport Town Hall
• Stockport Council’s Executive Meeting
  6.00pm Monday 7th January 2013 at Stockport Town Hall

Councillor Iain Roberts, Stockport Council’s Executive Member for Economic Development and Regeneration, said: “We want to make sure that all comments from the draft SPD consultation are taken into account. Due to the sheer volume of responses it has been decided to slightly alter some meeting dates to ensure this process is not rushed. The feedback is very important in shaping the final SPD in preparation for its adoption.”
