Dear Colleagues
I’ve just heard this morning that both the outline planning permission for
the whole development and that for Sainsbury’s is going before RCT Development
Control Commission Thursday 18.07.2013 at 17.00. You can see the details here:
http://www.rctcbc.gov.uk/en/councildemocracy/democracyelections/councillorscommittees/meetings/developmentcontrolcommittee/2013/07/18/developmentcontrolcommittee18-jul-2013_1.aspx
The delay since the meeting in February approved the outline planning
permission, has been over the circa £4m that the committee required the
developers to spend on highway works in preparation for phase 2 of the
proposals. There has been a lot of negotiating and the developers have now come
back with a final offer of just over £2m. The committee is being asked to
approve this and then approve the planning permission for Sainsbury’s.
I’ve just checked with RCT planning and members of the public can speak at
the meeting and it appears that despite the short time in announcing this
meeting, procedures have been followed. I have given notice of my intention to
speak against the extensive nature of the development and you can do so as well
by contacting Jim Bailey the planning officer responsible for the development at
RCT.
This is an important meeting as it is the last chance to influence this
proposal.
I’ve have chased up the request for the minister to ‘call in’ the proposals
– we should have heard about this by now as well.
I’ll spread the news via Facebook and Twitter and will place this email on
our website: http://pantvalley-newdevelopment.blogspot.co.uk/
.
Keep me in touch with what you decide to do.
All the best
Len Arthur
