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.

The Chair confirmed that the data would be reported to the Planning & Highways Committee.

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.

53 Performance Information Resolved to note the performance progress report.

7.40pm Karl Randall and the public left the meeting.

(ii) Schedules of Planning Applications Decisions Ten applications were refused when Sutton Coldfield Town Council had no objections, two in Four Oaks ward, six in Trinity ward and two in Vesey ward. These applications were mostly rejected due to specific breaches of various building codes that Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council do not have resources or the intention to verify, as such codes are checked by Birmingham City Council planners.

Two applications in Trinity ward that the Town Council objected have been withdrawed. Resolved that Committee note the decisions.

The Chairman reminded those members on Neighbourhood Planning that the workshop will take place as previously agreed on 6th February 2018. The meeting will begin at 5.30pm.

Date of Next Meeting Tuesday 6th February 2018, 7pm, Town Hall.
