Actions from Full Council
Application No: S24/1133
Notification of additional information received.
Proposal: Proposed change of use of land to form sports ground, car park, 2(no.) access
points from cross road and erection of toilet block.
Location: Land West of Cross Road, , Deeping St James, PE6 8LQ, ,
Application Type Full Planning Permission
Deadline 16 Oct 24 – Kevin Cartwright
Deeping St James Parish Council continue to support this development in principle. Our previous support for application S22/2405 may be referred to, saving repetition here.
The Deepings do need this new facility. We are aware that a large number of teams are affiliated to the Club, which offers a wide range of benefits to the community. As also noted by others , if the Planning Department identifies any challenges for the applicant, we would hope that all effort would be made to creatively overcome any problems.
On the matter of improving footpath access, we note that this road is a cul de sac with agricultural accesses only. Consequently, we specifically suggest that access along Cross Road is acceptable, as it is safe in traffic terms.
It does not have through traffic and, to deter anti-social behaviour such as tipping, may become gated again (as it once was). This is subject to work being carried out by LCC.
