Local residents have raised concerns about the proposals with the planning application receiving hundreds of comments.
Campaigners previously said cutting trees down would have a “catastrophic impact on the landscape”.
Conservative MP for Macclesfield, Mr Rutley, said Cheshire East Council should engage with the town council and local residents to “discuss alternative proposals that better balance the potential flood risk with the environmental impact of any future scheme at Poynton Pool”.
Both Natural England and the Environment Agency responded to the plan and said they had no objections.
A decision is set to be made in the coming weeks.
