The dwellings would include: 13 affordable units comprising six 1-bedroom flats, five 2-bedroom houses and two 3-bedroom houses; and fourteen 3-bedroom houses and six 4-bedroom houses. The density of the site would be approximately 37 dwellings per hectare. The houses and flats would be two storeys high, some with accommodation in the roof space. The application included access, parking and landscaping. Access would be from Ringley Road, which was a cul-de-sac, through an extension of the existing turning head at the end of the road. There would be a total of 75 parking spaces. 54 parking spaces would serve the 20 open market houses and 19 parking spaces would serve the 13 affordable dwellings. The application site was located within the built up area of Horsham and was open land used in connection with the Parsonage Farm commercial site. There was currently no vehicular access onto Ringley Road. The site was to the east and south of the Parsonage Farm site. It was west of properties to the rear of properties fronting onto Rusper Road, and also west of properties in Naldrett Close and Foxleigh. Bungalows in Ringley Road were to the south of the site. 2 Development Control (North) Committee 4th February 2014 DCN/111 Planning Application: DC/13/1890 (Cont.) The National Planning Policy Framework 2012; Local Development Framework Core Strategy Policies CP1, CP2, CP3, CP4, CP5, CP9, CP12, CP13 and CP19; Local Development Framework General Development Control Policies DC9, DC18 and DC40; Site Specific Allocations of Land 2007 Policy AL3; and the Horsham District Planning Framework Preferred Strategy were relevant in the determination of this application. There was no planning history relevant to this application. The responses from statutory internal and external consultees, as contained within the report, were considered by the Committee. With regards to access for construction traffic, which would currently be restricted to using Ringley Road, it was reported at the meeting that the applicant was in discussion with the owner of the Parsonage Farm site regarding potential access for construction traffic via the commercial site. With regards to contamination and noise, the Public Health and Licensing Officer had raised no objection, subject to conditions. The Officer was satisfied that the land was unlikely to be contaminated but further investigation and a validation report would be required prior to construction. The Parish Council raised no objection to the application. Thirty letters of objection, some from duplicate addresses, had been received. Three members of the public spoke in objection to the application and the applicant’s agent addressed the Committee in support of the proposal. Members considered the principle of the development in the context of local and national policies. Whilst the proposal was in accordance with the presumption in favour of sustainable development, Members expressed disappointment that an application for this parcel of land was being considered in isolation from the wider Parsonage Farm brownfield site. Concerns regarding access were noted and Members discussed the effect of the proposal on the amenity of neighbouring occupiers and in particular the impact on residents in Ringley Road caused by increased traffic movements. The Highways Authority had raised no objection to the proposal and Members concluded the proposal could not be refused on these grounds alone. Members also considered whether the design and scale of the buildings would be in keeping with the surrounding area. Members noted the comments of the Public Health and Licensing Officer and sought reassurance that contamination issues would be comprehensively addressed through conditions. It was confirmed that there would be a full investigation of the site and any contamination issues identified would be resolved prior to the commencement of works. 3 Development Control (North) Committee 4th February 2014 DCN/111 Planning Application: DC/13/1890 (Cont.) Should contamination be subsequently found, work would be required to cease until all contamination issues were satisfactorily resolved. It was noted that an Environmental Management Plan would be required prior to commencement of works, which would help to protect residential amenity, including the management of the sewer construction. Members remained concerned at the potential impact of construction traffic on the residents of Ringley Road should access via the Parsonage Farm site prove unviable. After careful consideration, Members concluded that the impact of the proposal would not provide sufficient justification to override the presumption in favour of sustainable development and agreed that the proposal was acceptable in principle. Officers confirmed that a condition to ensure that garages continued to be used as garages would be added during the determination of the application. Members requested that there should be no vehicular access from the proposed development to the Parsonage Farm site to prevent through traffic in Ringley Road. It was agreed that this could be controlled through a legal agreement. RESOLVED (i) That a legal agreement be entered into to: secure infrastructure contributions and affordable housing requirements;

  • Shipley School Log Book for Boys' 1905 – 1917
    Shipley School Log Book for Boys’ 1905 – 1917 This is an analysis of key issues affecting the school. It is not a direct transcript. The analysis is mine, and I have highlighted consistent themes under headings which are as follows: Staff Average attendances Causes of absence Regular visitors to the school Religious observances and Diocesan exams Subjects studied and games played HM Inspector and academic achievement National events, celebrations and outings Fabric of school building Points of interest Children mentioned by name From 1914 to 1917 there is an additional heading – Events related to 1914 – 1918 War We do not have Admissions or Attendance Registers for this period so names of pupils is necessarily restricted to those who are specifically mentioned in the Log Book for a particular reason. Mr William Bacon Mr William Bacon was Headmaster of Shipley Boys’ School from 14th June 1876 until his retirement on 14th December 1917. (41 years and 6 months). He was a prolific writer and gives insight into the social conditions of the day. He frequently acted as handyman when drains became blocked or when essential repairs were needed. He acted as nurse when children were injured or collapsed. He recorded the details of the curriculum so that we may understand today the wide ranging subjects the children of the time experienced. After his retirement the school became co-educational under the headship of Miss Annie Penn. William Bacon appears to have been a firm but kind disciplinarian with a keen understanding of the conditions of deprivation which some pupils endured. He fed one boy from his own table; he was anguished to know that some boys suffered blisters through wearing boots too tight for them, and he sympathised with the children of the “poor, illiterate, itinerant classes” whose schooling and life chances were severely curtailed by constant interruptions in education.

This document describes our Penalty Fares Scheme for the purposes of rule 3.2 b. 1.2 We have decided to introduce a Penalty Fares Scheme because the previous operator of the railway passenger services comprised of the Thameslink Great Northern franchise, First Capital Connect and Southern Railways, operated a Penalty Fares Scheme in such franchise area and the experience has proved that it is an efficient means to deter ticketless travel. In addition, once some Southeastern routes and stations are integrated into the TSGN franchise from 14 December 2014 and once the entire current Southern franchise is integrated into the TSGN franchise on 26th July 2015, it is important that there is consistency across all franchise areas (as Southeastern and Southern both also operate a Penalty Fares Scheme); so as to avoid causing confusion for our passengers. This scheme will now include all stations under schemes previously operated by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited and Southern Railway Limited.

  • West Sussex County Council Response to the Network Rail Draft South East Route: Sussex Area Route Study Consultation
    Ref No: HT21 (14/15) Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport Key Decision: Yes West Sussex County Council response to the Part I or Part II: Network Rail draft Sussex Area Route Study Part I consultation Report by Director of Highways and Transport and Electoral Director of Strategic Planning and Place Divisions: All Executive Summary Network Rail is undertaking a consultation to gather views on its draft South East Route: Sussex Area Route Study. This study sets out a 30-year vision for this area of the rail network. It primarily focuses on rail industry Control Period 6 (2019-2024) to inform Government investment decisions for this time frame, but also considers growth in demand for rail travel to 2043. Consultation responses are being welcomed on any of the ideas and interventions set out in the study. The study will inform future decisions about rail infrastructure and rail service planning as well as the capacity of major stations, rather than specific timetable, service quality and station access issues which are concerns for the rail franchisee. Key issues highlighted in the County Council response include: support for investment to expand capacity for the Brighton Main Line; a request for further investment in rail infrastructure away from routes to London to support a balanced economy; support for analysis undertaken within the Study into the Arundel Chord scheme and provision of an improved journey times along the West Coastway route; and requests for greater attention to be made to level crossing and car parking issues within the study. Recommendation The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport approves West Sussex County Council’s consultation response, contained in Appendix A of the report, for submission to the Network Rail draft South East Route: Sussex Area Route Study.
