Dear Emma Curle, Councillor Angela Clark, Councillor Mark Roberts, Councillor Rachel Bresnahan
I am a local resident in Romiley and I am writing to ask for clarification on whether there are any current or forthcoming proposals, planning applications, or consultations relating to:
- A children’s secure unit
- A children’s home (C2 use class change of use)
- Or any other specialist residential facility for young people
in Romiley, SK6.
I have searched the public planning portal but cannot see any live application that clearly relates to such a proposal. Given the public interest and potential impact of such a development, could you please confirm:
- Whether there are any live planning applications, pre-application discussions, or GMCA-led proposals for a secure unit or children’s home on Barnfield Road/Avenue.
- If so, when public consultation is planned or expected.
- How local residents will be informed and how they can engage with the process.
Thank you for your assistance and for keeping residents informed about significant local developments.
Kind regards,
Sheila Oliver
