S/215/01572/16 FOR THE ERECTION OF 150 DWELLINGS (WITH THE MEANS OF ACCESS TO BE CONSIDERED) TO INCLUDE THE DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING BUNGALOWS AT 99 AND 101 Witham Road granted on 15th June 2017).
Council considered the detailed plans for the Jackson development.
The following comments were made and will be forwarded onto the Planning Officer at ELDC:
Firstly, the Parish Council strongly supported the comments made by the Internal Drainage Board regarding the unsuitable access route which would have a negative impact on their ability to gain access for maintenance.
Concerns were raised regarding the storage of residential wheelie bins, especially at the terrace style development where there was no identified storage space for wheelie bins. Many of the internal roadways would be classed as private and do not appear to be large enough for refuse and recycling trucks to access them, this raised the question of how residents would get their wheelie bins to a location suitable for collection.
The sewage pumping plant currently has regular issues and is stressed, an additional 150 dwellings would stress the system more and needs to be addressed before complications arise.
Much emphasis was made regarding clear guidance for residents and the Parish Council to contact the green open space management team as lack of such contact details have created several problems for residents of other developments within the parish. A clear open space management programme would be key. This would also be required to incorporate the emergency /cycle route.
Fencing around the attenuation ponds was seen as a health and safety requirement and some form of traffic management plan onto Witham Road would be considered to be beneficial
EX/6/6/20
To consider and respond to planning application S/141/00761/20 – 122 Horncastle Road, Roughton Moor. Erection of a detached double garage.

EX/7/6/20
