25/170 To discuss and consider all comments made during the public
consultation meeting and agree a response to the proposed allocation and planning consultation SKPR-322.
All comments made by the Public were noted and the Council RESOLVED
to object to the proposed allocation and for the following to be included in the objection submission to SKDC.
Proposed Cllr CB, seconded Cllr AM.
- Are the criteria used to determine whether a village is considered a small village or a large village clear and appropriate?
- Will the plan for the proposed allocation ensure that there will be sufficient spaces at the local junior school for students who want them?
- With the proposed allocation there are likely to be more cars going through the village causing more congestion on Main St. How will this be resolved as part of the SKDC plan?
- How will the plan for the proposed allocation consider the impact of more traffic through the surrounding roads to Claypole?
- How does this planned allocation, take into account other developments in the surrounding area. For example the development of Fernwood and houses adjacent to Shire Lane generating more traffic congestion.
- How will SKDC ensure that there is adequate drainage capacity not only for the development site, but also for existing roads which are likely to become the recipient of flood water from the proposed allocation site?
- How will SKDC ensure that there will be appropriate levels of infrastructure to support the development and growth of Claypole Village? This will link to item 1 above and the criteria for being a larger village.
- How will you ensure that the mixture of property on an allocated site is appropriate to the local needs of the community, as per the National Planning Policy Framework?
