PLANNING
The site benefits from a mixed Open A1, A3 and D2 planning consent which is not subject to any
restrictions in terms of permitted development rights.

It is also within the defined town centre of Macclesfield where such retail and leisure uses are
considered to be fully in accordance with national and local planning policy.

We understand there are no restrictions with respect to sub-division or mezzanine floors.

The property offers longer term redevelopment opportunities; this is supported by its inclusion
as a potential retail or mixed use development opportunity as part of the call for sites for the
emerging Cheshire East Local Plan Site Allocations and Development Policies Document (Statutory
Development Plan) that is intended to be adopted in 2018 and guide development up to 2030.
