Description

The application seeks full planning permission for the comprehensive refurbishment, enhancement and expansion of Cheadle Market Hall and Market Square. The scheme comprises the refurbishment and reconfiguration of the existing Market Hall to create a modern food hall destination centred around four food and beverage units and communal seating, together with external alterations including new doors, glazing and brickwork interventions. A new covered canopy is proposed adjacent to the Market Hall to provide flexible, weather-protected trading and event space, whilst additional permanent trader units will be introduced within the Market Square. Comprehensive public realm improvements are also proposed, including high-quality paving, integrated seating and new planting to create a more attractive, functional and welcoming civic space.
