They have addressed my
concerns about access to and from the site and have confirmed that traffic will
be limited to access from the north only and that the newly reinstated bollards will remain in place between the site and Church Street.
According
to the committee report there were only 3 objections received and two of those
are deemed to be civil matters between the two parties, rather than material
planning considerations which could alter or influence planning consent. The
other issue raised came from a resident nearby who suggested that a recorded
visual history be made of the building in recognition of its historical significance to the
community. This is recommended to be done before works start on site.
I
have registered to speak at the planning committee next week but I will forego the
opportunity if there are no significant, additional planning issues from residents prior to
the date of the committee. However I still intend going along to the committee
hearing, just to be on the safe side.
