    aberdeen3-34973_1 Summary In August 2007, Mr Harry McNab of Bancon Developments Ltd, commissioned Alison Cameron of Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit to conduct an archaeological evaluation on the site of a proposed development at Stoneywood Terrace, Aberdeen. No archaeological features were discovered during the evaluation; however, it was not possible to evaluate the western edge of site (the area of greatest archaeological potential) due to the presence of a grove of mature beech trees. This report recommends that the clients notify Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit prior to any future groundworks within this area, to allow an evaluation trench to be dug (if appropriate) to determine the possible location of the Aberdeenshire canal.. 1.

A warm welcome to our visitors, who we face for the 3rd but not final time of the season! Well, sadly our FA Vase run has now come to an end. We exited the competition at the same stage we did in 2018, the Quarter Finals. A 4-3 defeat away at the hands of Corinthian FC. We were backed by such fantastic support, with the crowd pretty much all Leighton! We really appreciate and it has shown just how much everyone has come together in recent weeks. We want that to stay, as we still have 15 league games and 2 Cup Semi-Finals to play! We need your help as we make a big push, with the end of the campaign not far away. In other news, tonight is the third fixture between ourselves and Potton of the season. It's a win for Potton and a win for us so far, both of which came in cups.

Yours sincerely Martha Clampitt, Committee Services Officer email: [email protected] This page is intentionally left blank Agenda Item 5a Page 3 LATE SHEET DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE – 19/06/2012 Item 6 (Pages 15 - 62) CB/13/00985/FULL – Change of use for the stationing of one residential static caravan and two touring caravans, and parking for two associated vehicles at Paradise Farm, The Causeway, Clophill, MK45 4BA. Additional Consultation/Publicity Responses Anglian Water has confirmed that a foul sewer crosses the site and that they would not permit any building within a 6 metre easement (3m either side of the centre line of the sewer). A plan has been provided by Anglian Water showing the location of the sewer. Comments on the Consultation Response The plan provided by Anglian Water does not represent the location of the sewer pipe on the ground as it is visible where it crosses the watercourse which does not concur with the plan provided. It is considered that the sewer is most likely to run from the manhole cover in the access road across the site to where the pipes are visibly crossing the watercourse.
