The Parish Council discussed the application which is

The Parish Council found no objection to this application.
It was however noted that the landscaping provisions
in the original application had not been undertaken and
it was therefore proposed by Mr John Narraway and seconded
by Mr Andrew Needham3 that we should offer no objections
but wish that the previous conditions with regard to landscaping
be implemented.
Any Other Business
Councillor Mrs Jane Palmer had looked into the possibility
of contributions toward maintenance of the fingerpost
signs in the village. She understands that the Council
is able to provide a 50% contribution to the refurbishment
of old signs.
County Councillor Barry Hardern explained to the Parish
Councillors of the change in Local Government. The May
elections will include elections for the Cheshire East
Councillors who will act as shadow Councillors to the
Macclesfield Borough for a period of one year and will
take their positions on 1st May 2009.

Kerrigan and Cedric Knipe to arrange a date at the beginning
of April to have a meeting at the Daintry Hall to address

informed of the event in order that they can decide whether
the village should prepare a Parish Plan.
