I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of the Inspector, Geoffrey Hill BSc DipTP MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry between 22 July and 27 August 2014 into your clients’ appeal against the failure of Cheshire East Council (“the Council”) to give notice within the prescribed period of a decision on an application for outline permission for residential development, retirement/care village, local centre, community building, primary school, public open space, allotments, structural landscaping, access arrangements and demolition of existing structures in accordance with application ref: 13/2874N, dated 12 July 2013. 2. The appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State’s determination on 17 December 2013, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 because it involves a proposal for residential development of over 150 units which would significantly impact on the Government’s objective to secure a better balance between housing demand and supply and create high quality, sustainable, mixed and inclusive communities.

If you want further see website here (from details of any of the stories mentioned, look on the relevant website or, the “Membership Type” failing that, get back to me so I can send you the full text. menu, select “RUG”). New rail user group for Sudbury? Railfuture member Graham Larkbey and others are aiming to establish a User Group for Chiltern's two London suburban ‘Cinderella stations’: Sudbury & Harrow Road and Sudbury Hill Harrow. Graham says “Sudbury & Harrow Road has the worst service in London, with just four trains a day to London (Mon-Fri morning peak) and four back again in the evening. Sudbury Hill Harrow at least got its all-day service back in December 2004 after sustained pressure from London TravelWatch, but it has no trains after mid-evening. Both stations are closed all weekend.” Chiltern's focus is very much on their mid/long-distance market, but campaigners argue that it should be possible to offer a decent basic service to all the inner stations within existing line capacity without compromising longer-distance services. Anyone interested in joining the campaign or being kept informed, please email [email protected]. We continue with the usual roundup of news items from rail user groups around the UK. As always, I’m very grateful to RUGs that send me their magazines and bulletins.

  • Barracks Road, Newcastle (NLP Ref: NL1)
    Barracks Road, Newcastle (NLP Ref: NL1) BARRIERS TO DELIVERY: GROSS SITE AREA: 0.33 ha Lack of market interest/ Poor access point ESTIMATED NET DEVELOPABLE AREA: 0 ha Situated in Newcastle’s town centre, this site amounts to 0.33 hectares and comprises a number of buildings of what was the St Giles Primary school. The site fronts onto the western side of Barracks Road (the A527). To the west and south the site borders the rear of retail units which front onto Castle Walk, and in the north it borders Queen’s Gardens. While it is apparent the school probably closed some years ago, these buildings appear to be in reasonable condition and, despite the small size of the site, it includes a reasonable amount of space for off-street parking. Vehicular access to this site is directly onto Barracks Road, although this was relatively congested when the assessment occurred. The site is just a short walk away from the bus station and is very near to the A34, so has excellent access to public transport and the strategic road network. It also has very good access to labour and amenities/services. The site would be suited for B1 offices and it is understood that the Borough Council is considering the option of moving its main civic office here. OVERALL SITE GRADE: Good SITE RECOMMENDATION: Consider for employment use if site becomes available 9932770v7 Brunswick St/George Street Newcastle (NLP Ref: NL2) BARRIERS TO DELIVERY: GROSS SITE AREA: 0.35 ha Lack of market interest (due to location and size of ESTIMATED NET DEVELOPABLE AREA: 0.35 ha site) This small site (0.35 ha) is located close to the town centre boundary, and comprises a car park and a long- term vacant building, which once was the Zanzibar Ballroom.

  • The Rail User Express. We Continue with the Usual Roundup of News
    September 2018 Welcome to the Rail User Express. Feel free to forward it to a colleague, or to reproduce items in your own newsletter (quoting sources). For further detail of any of the stories mentioned, consult the relevant website, or come back to me for the source material. Please say if you no longer wish to receive Rail User Express, or if you know of anyone or any Rail User Group (RUG) who would like to be added to the circulation list. Inevitably but regrettably, this month’s issue is largely taken up by the impact of the May timetable change, exacerbated by ongoing industrial action. Passengers’ habits are changing: many now use the car for some or all of their journey, which is bad news for the environment, but potentially fatal for further expansion of the railway. Winning them back will be a challenge for all of us. Roger Smith We continue with the usual roundup of news items from groups around the UK. Please keep your contributions coming: they are all gratefully received. Friends of the Far North Line The Far North Review Team, which was set up in 2016 to review every aspect of the Far North Line, met on 7 September to discuss progress so far, and future plans in respect of line capacity, higher speed limits, signalling, better trains and timetable structure. NR, ScotRail and Transport Scotland are working on a raft of improvements, some incremental and some radical. The fruits of the discussions cannot yet be shared, as announcements will be made in due course, but Mike Lunan and Ian Budd from FoFNL came away smiling broadly!
