Cllr Jefferies arrived at 19.12

21/79. To note the emails from the public

The correspondence was read out and noted.

The Clerk is to make sure that the public timeline document is sent out to all those who sent correspondence and ensure that everyone receives a reply and an invitation to attend any of the public committee meetings where they can find out more. Also to be signposted to agendas and minutes on the councils website.

With regards to complaints around the Millennium Wood and other areas, the EGPA committee will be advised that a resident has concerns. In regards to the objections to the plan drawn up by the Estate, the Clerk will make it clear that this was not a CPC design.

The correspondence around the site near the Farm shop will be advised of the reasons why this site was discounted as unsuitable by the working group.

There is an action for the Clerk to check what time the flood lights need to be turned off at the tennis courts (looking at the original planning application) and advise the club accordingly.

There is an action for the Clerk to send committee members the list of current youth activity available in the area.

Where there is correspondence around the plans published, the Clerk is to reply to clarify that these are not CPC plans and the council no part in designing them.

21/80. To review and draw up feedback on the drawing from the Langton Estate.

The access route shown on the drawing is not in line with CPC’s method statement and as such the committee feels that access via this route is entirely unsuitable. In regards to the rest of the drawing, CPC’s progress is at such as early stage that it cannot make any comments. The committee decided to put the estate’s drawing to one side and discuss decision points within the project.

It was agreed that the rough order of decisions to be made is as follows:

  • Is the land within our budget?
  • Can we create a new and suitable access route that SBC Highways Officers might approve as part of a planning application?
  • Cannot move forward without a set of architect plans showing what is viable
  • Need a quantity surveyor to providing costing for all levels of expansion
  • Can we raise the required funds?
  • Need to submit Pre-planning application with SBC
  • 28 day Public Consultation
  • Review the consultation feedback and alter plans if required.
  • Submit Planning permission

21/81. Confirm details of visit with the estate to discuss the land in question

Questions to be asked at the meeting include:

  • Are they willing to provide part/all of the land in question
  • Advise that the plans they submitted to us will not work in terms of our access requirements; share the method statement with the estate.
  • Address the access concerns we have
  • If we cannot utilise all of the land in question, would they be willing to split the land into a smaller parcel? The council would like to explore a number of potential options
  • What is a rough timeline to consider – farming/current leases etc.
  • Advise we will provide an update in 6 months.

The Clerk is to arrange a meeting with the Langton Estate and Cllrs Ford, Jefferies and Bates.

21/82. Review architect quotes received so far.

Move to Feb meeting.

21/83 Items for next agenda.

Update on the meeting with the Langton Estate and the Wanborough site visit.
