TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS:
a WSCC/001/10/BK
Location: Park Farm
Cottage, Broxmead Lane, Bolney
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 Jeremys 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.
