There were 4 members of the public and no press present. The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and invited questions or comments from the public. Tracey Homer, a resident of Froggatts Ride, New Hall ward, spoke about concerns regarding poor parking on Froggatts Ride mainly from residents of Andrew Courts flats. Mr. Randall took the residents details and will investigate and respond to her. Brian Smith, a Four Oaks resident, advised committee that he is not in favour of the proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) in Four Oaks Road as he believes it would have an impact on Irnham Road. Mr. Randall, who is overseeing the proposal made a note of Mr. Smith’s concerns. Martin Pearce, a resident of Four Oaks ward asked Committee if data recorded from Driver Feedback signs would be made public. The Chair confirmed that the data would be reported to the Planning & Highways Committee. 47 Apologies For Absence The Clerk received apologies from Cllrs Cairns & Long. Resolved to accept the apologies received. 48 Declarations of Interest Cllr Puri declared a non-pecuniary interest in item 52 Driver Feedback Signs. Cllr Puri is a resident of Jockey Road. 49 Minutes of Last Meeting Resolved that the minutes of the meeting of Planning & Highways Committee Meeting held on Tuesday 5th December 2017 be signed as a true record of the meeting. 50 Matters Arising Page | 1 Planning and Highways Minutes | Tues 9th January 2018 The Town Clerk advised committee that the informal statutory consultation period for the proposed TRO on Four Oaks Road will end on 12th January 2018. Resolved to note the Town Clerks update. 51 Four Oaks Road Traffic Restrictions The chair welcomed Karl Randall, Senior Service Manager Engineer BCC to the meeting. Mr Randall advised committee that due to a long history of complaints regarding parking concerns on Four Oaks Road, engineers had worked on a scheme in readiness for any funding that might become available. Four Oaks Road is an official designated blue route for emergency services. It is also a designated H.G.V route. As a 4m wide road, obstructions could hinder emergency vehicles and H.G.V’s. The length of the proposed restrictions is around 400 metres. The view of Highways Engineers is that commuters are unlikely to walk 400m away from the station. In order to protect the junction at Irnham Road, the proposed restriction will be extended to 30m of the junction as opposed to the standard 10m. The informal consultation is due to end on 12th January however Mr Randall has confirmed he will accept comments received for a week or so after this date. Mr Randall also confirmed that those residents directly affected by the proposed changes have received a letter detailing the proposed scheme. All correspondence will be evaluated and if necessary the scheme will be altered before being presented at meetings of BCC Transportation Delivery Group and Transport Street Services Group. The business case, i.e. 30 maintenance cost to be met by BCC, would be considered at these meetings. The scheme then goes out to formal statutory 21-day consultation. Mr Randall advised that the estimated timescale for this is March. Resolved to note the update. 7.31pm Cllr Horrocks joined the meeting at this point. 52 Driver Feedback Sign Locations Mr Randall advised committee that three contractors have been approached for quotes in which two have come back with competitive prices for driver feedback signs. Little Sutton Road, Penns Lane, Heath Croft Road and Jockey Road have all been identified as roads that could benefit from a Driver Feedback sign. Each of these roads have evidence showing motorists speeding and overtaking. Finer details including power source and the effect on existing trees will be taken into consideration before a final decision is made. Mr Randall will report back to Committee. Page | 2 Planning and Highways Minutes | Tues 9th January 2018 Resolved that committee agrees driver feedback signs will be installed on Little Sutton Road, Penns Lane, Heath Croft Road and Jockey Road based on the recommendation of BCC Highways Engineers. 53 Performance Information Resolved to note the performance progress report. 7.40pm Karl Randall and the public left the meeting. 54 Planning Applications Four Oaks Ward 30th November - 3rd January 2018 Application SCTC No Number Site Address Development Description Recommendation Erection of first floor forward 34 Bishops Meadow 1 2017/10856/PA and side and single storey No Objection Sutton Coldfield B75 5PQ rear extensions 56 Trinity Road Four Oaks Erection of single storey 2 2017/10469/PA Sutton Coldfield West No Objection forward and rear extensions.

  • Section 2 – Statement of Significance
    Section 2: Statement of Significance 63 Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership SECTION 2: Statement of Significance 2.1 Introduction This section describes what is important about the heritage of the Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership scheme area and why it is significant at a regional and national level. 2.2 Landscape The River Tame runs through the landscape, forming the spine of the rich mosaic of wetland habitats created by sand and gravel extraction. The river valley is flat and broad with gentle slopes. Formerly the rich mineral content of the valley provided a living for the valley’s inhabitants but now, empty of minerals but full of water, the extraction pits and quarries provide a rich habitat for wetland species. The rural parts of the valley around Middleton and Curdworth are mainly farmland whereas the eastern edge has some remaining common and heath. Some small areas of woodland remain but this would have been more extensive in previous centuries. The towns and villages have grown up alongside the river close to broad shallow crossing points. Kingsbury Village and the River Tame © 2013 EA 64 Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership The need to transport the minerals resulted in an ever increasing network of criss crossing transport routes across the valley, separating communities, but leaving a rich legacy of engineering heritage, and highlighting the Tame Valley’s involvement with key moments in history like the industrial revolution. It is man’s usage of the resources within the Tame Valley that have shaped the landscape that we see today. ...Noisier yet than ever Heaven meant Beset by the traffic’s constant roar Thou’rt now a green island trapped, triangled, Strangled, within the noisy nexus of the nation’s motorways..
