How schemes in Macclesfield get decided.
One council for planning and highways
Cheshire East Council handles both the planning application and the highways response, so we talk to its highways team early and give the case officer a clear answer.
What shapes schemes in Macclesfield
A market town on the West Coast Main Line, with the A523 Silk Road through the town and the Peak District hills to the east. In the centre, the questions are usually servicing, parking and narrow streets. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and a safe walking route into town.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A523 Silk Road, A536 and A537. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application.
