Poynton Pool Spillway Proposal - Public briefing 18.4.24
Friends of Poynton Pool has been developing a couple of alternative, environmentally friendly, spillway proposals that have been put forward to Cheshire East Council as an alternative to their planning application (planning application reference 23/4152M) . At the public briefing we ran through these alternative plans. We also had our myth buster campaign on display and answered questions ahead of the planning application going to the Strategic Planning Board on the 24th April ’24 (questions were not recorded).
The proposed removal of trees and undergrowth at Poynton Pool by Cheshire East Council 19.4.24
See the scale of the proposed devastation for yourself down the west bank at Poynton Pool. The tape represents the two 40m areas that will be cleared and some of the key, but not all, trees and undergrowth that will be removed outside of these areas. Remember that the planning officer’s report has confirmed that 78 trees and two 40m sections of Hawthorn Hedgerow will be removed as a result of the proposed development. 49 trees and 10 groups are also identified to be impacted by the proposals, largely by crown lifting over working areas or by RPA encroachment.
