FOR 4 Declared an interest 1
‘The Parish Council were recently contacted by Mr J Crust concerning the above application; the Parish Council invited Mr Crust to the Public Participation session of the Parish Council meeting held on the 8th March 2018.
Mr Crust made a statement concerning his application which included a statement that they (the applicant’s) had always intended to install a road drainage system along the south side of Peasgate Lane. This was welcomed by the Councillors; however, it was pointed out to the applicants, that none of the details provided with any of the Planning Applications for this site included any road drainage provisions.
In considering this new information the Council passed a resolution “The council welcomes and supports the applicant’s proposal to install a road drainage system for Peasgate Lane on condition that it can be secured via planning permission conditions, and that the said system is installed to an approved specification before any building work commences on the site”.
Whilst the Council view this as a positive move by the applicants in relation to road drainage they wish to emphasise that It does not address any of the other concerns raised in previous responses, in particular adequate plot drainage and road safety issues.’
