16/40 Review of Badbury Park Plans for the future

With Badbury Park moving to the new South Swindon Parish in April 2017 it was decided that plans would continue to be reviewed via email in the meantime but would only make comment on any specific areas of concern. Cllr Hill advised that Nigel Hale had contacted him to advice that Redrow and Persimon will be talking to SBC in regards to the bus stops for the area.

(Cllr G Mills arrived at 19.06)

The Clerk is to contact Stephen Taylor at SBC to ask if there is a protocol in place for talking to the new parishes in regards to planning issues. Joyce Holman, formally Clerk at Wroughton is the Clerk for the new parishes during the handover.

16/41 Review Outstanding Plans

S/16/0219 for the Esso Garage storage area has had the appeal rejected. They now have 2 months officially to remove the extension.

S/16/1435 There continue to be issues with the developer blocking Slipper Lane with delivery lorries for this site.  SBC planning dept have not enforced any planning conditions so far.  CPC have no powers to prevent this.

Cllr McMurray is waiting to see if Ward Cllr Shaw can arrange a site meeting. Ward Cllr Shaw has already approached Andy Brown at SBC without any success.  Cllr McMurray has talked to the developer direct without any success.

Cllr McMurray will write to the head of the SBC planning dept if there is no success from any meeting with Ward Cllr Shaw, SBC and the developers.

Action for the Clerk to ask Stephen Taylor at SBC if the residents have any legal course of action to resolve this.

S/HOU/16/1860 have not appealed yet.

16/42 New Transport/Planning Committee

Cllr Brady is to send a suggested list of names to Cllr McMurray for feedback on relevant experience for the new committee.
The purpose of the committee is to focus on parking, traffic flow and road safety within the Parish.
The first meeting will elect a Chair, and set out the objectives.
It will need to cover road safety in the parish in general as well as the traffic issues on New Road/Hodson Road.

The Clerk has tried to get an SBC rep to attend a meeting to advise on a transport plan but has had no luck in contacting anyone.
Suzanne Coles at SBC was suggested as a good contact – the Clerk will contact her to see if she can assist.

16/42 Planning Enforcement

The question was asked as to whether we had any current issues where enforcement was needed.

Cllr Brady will contact Ward Cllr Foley to see if she can offer any assistance with the Manor House development. Cllr McMurray will advise when he feels all current options have been exhausted.

16/43 List of applications and decisons in the Ridgeway bell

We will provide a link on our website for the lists in whole as they are generated and Cllr McMurray will start to write a paragraph for the Parish Council Bell article each month detailing any planning items of particular interest. The Clerk is to feed back to Doreen at the Bell.
