Site PYT 1: Poynton Sports Club

The Poynton Sports Club site is allocated for residential development for around 80 new homes. Development proposals for the site must:

  2. safeguard and protect the ordinary watercourse, through a buffer of no less than 8 metres at any point;
  3. demonstrate how the sports facilities will be replaced locally, and that it is an enhanced facility in line with the recommendations made in the Cheshire East Indoor Built Facilities Strategy and the Cheshire East Playing Pitch Strategy and Action Plan, and that the relocated facility is fully brought into use in advance of the loss of any existing facilities to ensure continuity of provision;
  4. satisfactorily address surface water risk/overland flow and out of bank flow from the ordinary watercourse; and
  5. demonstrate through a noise impact assessment that prospective residents on the site would not be unacceptably affected by transportation noise.
