Desc: Development of equine rehabilitation and physiotherapy centre comprising treatment block, horse walker, sand school, car park, grass paddocks, exercise track and engineering operation to form a bund adjacent to the A23 (resubmission of BK/185/08)-

WSCC/003/10/BK - Application 1

WSCC/021/10/BK - Application 2

WSCC/012/10/BK - Application 3

WSCC/001/10/BK - Application 4

 

              The comments made by the Parish Council previously on application BK/185/08 still apply as follows:

1) We agree in principle with the application but this is based upon the present intention that the business activity will be limited to the development proposed.

              2) With regard to the creation of the Bund our concerns are that:

 - lorries delivering the earth (waste) will not be allowed to use the access from Broxmead Lane, but will be required to use the access from the A23 (M).

 - the use of wheel (tyre) cleaning/scrubbing equipment will be made a requirement of any permission granted and that the use thereof will be strictly adhered to for all vehicles leaving the site.

-  agreement will be reached between WSCC (Highways), Bolney Parish Council and the Waste Contractors as to the best routes to be used for reaching and leaving the site entrance from either the South (from the A272) or the North and that this is strictly enforced and adhered to.

Note:  This will need to incorporate requirements to the effect that if and when the A23(M) is congested the lorries do not use Jeremy’s Lane particularly, or other adjacent roads, which tend to become a ‘rat run’ in such circumstances.

-  notices warning about the work being undertaken and the movement of lorries be prominently displayed on the A23(M) in the proximity of the site entrance in both directions; North and South.

-  consideration is given, by appropriately qualified and experienced persons, to the adequacy of the drainage along the Bund to ensure that there is not an overflow of water on the A23(M).

 

In addition, the Parish Council has concerns about the viability of all four access road applications but especially the use of Broxmead Lane due to increased traffic that would be generated through Bolney.

 

b     10/00109/COU – Location: Long House, The Street, Bolney

       Desc:  Existing dwelling is refurbished into a Bed and Breakfast facility.  PC Decision: NO OBJECTION.

 

 

c     10/00082/FUL – Location: Swallows, 1 Purveys Hill, Cowfold Road, Bolney

       Desc:  Retrospective approval for conservatory to rear. PC Decision: NO OBJECTION.

 

6     CORRESPONDENCE:
