Bramhall will continue to accommodate an independent retail and service offer with a focus on evening food and drink uses and good quality public realm at its centre to support activity and events. In recognition of the constrained nature of the centre, opportunities will be sought to provide centrally located cycle parking provision.

Cheadle will continue to be an attractive destination, serving as a place for evening food and drink, and a strong and varied convenience and comparison goods offer together with a good range of independents. Connectivity and placemaking will be the priorities, with the provision of a new rail station, and opportunities sought to improve movement and safety for pedestrians and cyclists between the high street and station, and the environmental quality of the high street.

Cheadle Hulme will continue to be a highly accessible centre with a rail station on the West Coast Main Line, and with an important role as a convenience shopping destination with large anchor foodstores and as an evening food and drink destination with supporting amateur theatre facilities. Opportunities will be sought to make more efficient use of land by concentrating community facilities and key services within walking distance of the station, provide public realm improvements within the precinct and on Station Road and enhance the environment for pedestrians and cyclists.

Edgeley will be further enhanced as an accessible centre with new connections including tram-train services and direct pedestrian and cycling routes to the town centre and transport interchanges. Whilst still playing a complementary role to the town centre, planned investment in the adjacent Town Centre West area will enable it to serve a new catchment and assist in diversifying its retail, leisure and service offer. Opportunities will be sought to unite the centre's active frontages on Castle Street and enhance public realm and environmental quality.

Hazel Grove will continue to have a strong and competitive convenience and comparison goods offer along with a variety of other retail, service and leisure uses. Proposals that aim to reduce the severance caused by the A6 and encourage linked trips will be welcomed such as improving the environmental quality of existing green and public spaces, increasing tree planting and improving movement and safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
