S19/0443

Miss McCrae Land off, Linchfield Road, DSJ

Erection of 77 dwellings – minor amendments to layout, materials, landscaping and house types

Recommend to Full Council that the following comments and objections be submitted

‘The proposal to place 76 dwellings on the eastern half of this development is an overdevelopment leading to the following constraints – In the original discussions with the parish council the developers promised to provide a parking space for each bedroom i.e. 2 parking spaces for 2-bedroom houses and so on.

This quantum of development does not allow for this and moreover constrains mostly tandem parking arrangements which are known to be problematic from other recent developments in the parish. This has resulted in chaotic on street parking, creating obstruction on important through routes and restricting access for emergency vehicles. This number of dwellings also constrains the width of the proposed cycle paths running

NE and SW to a mere 1.5m. The NS cycle path crosses the primary access to the development which has clear dangers. More-over the cycle path comes to a halt in the SE corner and no thought has been given to linking it up to existing cycle paths.

The proposed EW cycle / pedestrian footpath at a mere 2m wide, would appear inadequate for such joint usage. Greater thought should be given to pedestrian access throughout the whole development.

A telegraph pole with ‘guide’ cables has now been located on the POS which reduces the size of what is already quite a small area.

There is nothing in the proposal whatsoever about the energy efficiency measures for example the use of solar panels, triple glazing and so on.

The ‘feature square’ in the centre of the development is a good idea but this particular proposal appears to be far too small to be of any relevance. Finally the construction of the eastern part of this development must surely have negative impact on the future construction of the western sector at a later date.

For all of these reasons the parish council would wish to object to the proposed development.’

S19/1257

Installation of an external metal fire escape staircase to block 07 from the first floor to the ground

Approved under delegated powers

31.20 To agree to improvements recommended by Delaine buses to encourage greater Public Transport usage

Councillor Bowell explained to the committee that following a recent route tour, accompanied by Anthony Delaine-Smith, representatives from LCC Highways and Lincs Transport Services, recommendations that the need for 3 new Bissell poles (on route 203) and 3 bus shelters at locations on popular bus routes, had been identified. Full funding has now been agreed by LCC for all 3 Bissel bus stop poles and LCC have grants available for NEW bus shelters. There are currently 2 redundant bus shelters and 1 that is not in an ideal location, that could be relocated but as grants are available only for new bus shelters, not relocations, a full cost analysis needs to be carried out to determine whether relocation of OR installation of new bus shelters is the best option. A recommendation to Full Council be made that DSJPC agree to improvements recommended by Delaine buses and implement the cheapest option re 3 bus shelters
