Wedgwood

[Cheshire cat]

I seem to recall there was a planning application put in to build a marina on the T&M at Wedgwood. Did anything ever come of it?

Probably waiting for investment from China.

I could have been a potty idea from Jasper.

Possibly refused planning due to all the blue Pagoda's, willow tree planting and little bridges you can't get a boat under

Is this the one? Just found the details, it is classed as Wedgewood Marina in Barlaston. Application was orginally made in October 2015 and passed on 30th April 2019 with the provisio that a maximum number of boats be 141 and no permanent moorings for residential purposes. Last document on the palnning permission is dated April 2022, so finer detail is still dragging on.

Planning permission usually expires after 3 years if work on site hasn't begun. So has anything happened on site? Or is the permission now defunct?

According to the planning permission (30th April 2019) 3 years were allowed for the start.

The site was aquired by developers, CB Collier Management Ltd. in 2022 and according to their website they state We have now made a meaningful start on site to activate the consent, including; utility diversions, access improvements and site investigations.

That is the one. If a meaningful start has been made we will have to await the outcome

A meaningful start can either be the actual commencement of the proposed work, that then proceeds in earnest. Or it can be a token activity undertaken with the sole purpose of keeping planning permission alive, without actually intending to do anything more in the near future.

Will have a closer look when I go that way later on in May.
