To approve the minutes of the meeting held on Thursday 11 October 2018 as an accurate record.

Minutes:

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting held on 11 October 2018 be signed as a correct record with the following amendments:

 

§  In reference to minute number 108/18 - 18/02575/PRE Queens Square (Land Bounded by Katharine Street, St Georges Walk, High Street and Park Street), Councillor Fraser did not think that the scheme was promising and therefore the wording was to be rephrased as ‘One Member of the Committee did not think that the scheme was promising’.

 

§  In reference to minute number 107/18 - SITE A 17/04913/PRE Purley Way Playing Field, Purley Way, CR0 4RQ, the first bulletin on page six was unclear. Councillor Prince would like the minutes to refer explicitly to the need to retain lines of site between the north east of the playing fields and south west points further away from the residence homes so that fencing does not interfere with the views.

The main issues raised during the meeting were as follows:

 

§  The Committee welcomed the well thought out building which welcomed great opportunities for the school and the community centre with different uses. It was vital that a community centre can serve aspects in the community and open doors to the community.

 

§  The Committee was keen that the quality of the building internally worked well and lasts well for the robust uses.

 

§  Sustainability was a key issue to bring an excellence rating.

 

§  Members highlighted the soft boundary that blends in with the planting that is already there strengthen the green belt.

 

§  A positive relationship with the school would benefit a good working relationship going forward with the idea of a scope for a flexible overflow parking or shared parking. Members would also like the layout to look less excessive and would like a simple rearrangement of car park.

 

§  Considerate off site contractor approach was welcomed to minimise the nuisance to residence which is positive.
