Planning
Comments had been send to PCC Planners regarding the
Planning
|
|
|
(a) |
Application on Cottesmore Close but so far no decision
had been made. Members discussed this application again and were
convinced in their own minds that NNA comments may have resulted in a
re-design or re-think on the application.
|
|
|
(b) |
Observations taken by residents and a Committee Member
had resulted in a raising of concern over what may be happening on this
recently opened building site for 151 houses on The Grange.
This being so arrangements were made with PCC planners to
visit the site and take observations of the items which were of concern.
A site visit took place on Friday 6 May with two planners
and a NNA representative which resulted in the production of a long list
of items a copy of which had been seen at this meeting and then placed
on File.
Following a discussion the Secretary was instructed to
send a copy of the 'List of Concern' to our three West Ward Councillors
and to the to the Planning Officers who visited the site asking them to
examine residents concerns and hopefully report back on, or with
explanations and /or solutions to any problems or non compliance with
the conditional planning approval. A copy of the list has been posted
on the Web
Site.

|
|
(c) |
A planning application 11/00605/FUL for construction of a
single storey side and rear extension and two storey front extension at
17 Atherstone Avenue. No comments made.
|
|
|
(d) |
A planning application 11/00559/FUL for alteration to
existing public house/restaurant to reduce size of existing car park to
form new children's play area and external drinking area with
construction of play equipment enclosed with timber picket fence and
gate relocation and adjustment of parking places at the Halcyon
Atherstone Avenue.
Whilst NNA had no comments to make on this application
they were of opinion that in an endeavour to attract additional business
and customers the lessening of car parking spaces may mean some nearby
indiscriminate car parking but the main concern was over the possible
exacerbation of traffic movement at this very busy roundabout with the
Halcyon access, that of the opposite garage, access to the new Morris
Homes Building Site with the constant domestic traffic. |
This item was noted
Members were asked to disseminate the location date and time of this
meeting.
There was no other business and the meeting closed at 2045.
Eric Dent, Secretary, May 2011 |
