The Chairman welcomed those present and invited questions from the public. Tony Willis, Chairman of Access Birmingham, raised concerns around facilities for disabled people in Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Centre. Mr Willis stated that Town Centre disabled toilet facilities were severely lacking and that the toilet located in the Gracechurch Centre was in need of alterations to make if fully accessible. Cllr Allan confirmed that these were privately owned by the Gracechurch Centre and that he would raise Mr Willis’ concerns direct with them. Mr Willis also commented that the disabled parking bays in Birmingham Road and Holland Street were in need of repainting as the unclear markings were leading to misuse. Cllr Allan confirmed that the Council have allocated a budget to improve toilet facilities and that this will be addressed by the Amenities Committee. He offered to raise concerns around road marking with Karl Randle, Birmingham City Council and report back to Mr Willis. Thomas and Charlotte from Deanery Primary School were in attendance, Cllr Allan congratulated them both on working towards their Junior Rotary Award. Thomas asked how many houses were to be built on green belt land in the new development.

Page | 1 Planning and Highways Minutes | Wed 11th January 2017 47 Matters Arising The Town Clerk advised Committee that she is still in discussions with Birmingham City Council regarding a Neighbourhood Planning Working Party and a date for the first working party had not yet been confirmed. 48 Birmingham Development Plan 2031 Resolved to note Birmingham City Council Final Adoption Statement. 49 School Keep Clear Campaign a) Committee to consider funding for Community Grant application referred from Amenities, Leisure and Community Services Committee meeting on 17th January 2017. Boldmere Junior School and five other Vesey schools have requested funding to purchase six educational campaign boxes that create resources to help educate drivers and encourage active and sustainable travel to school (attached). Total funding requested £4309.42. Resolved to approve the funding of £4,319.42 for campaign resources as requested from the Planning and Highways budget. b) Committee to consider funding to roll out the initiative across Sutton Coldfield schools. Committee approved of rolling out the scheme to schools across Sutton Coldfield but were unsure of the cost implications. The Acting Town Clerk offered to liaise with Mandi Slatter at Birmingham City Council to see if she could attend a meeting and present a plan on how this could be rolled out. Resolved to approve in principle and receive proposals for roll out of the project at the next Planning and Highways Committee meeting. 50 Six Pillar Plan – Highway Improvement Projects Acting Town Clerk advised that this will be a standing item on the Committee agenda to discuss any projects that come forward. It was agreed that Ward Representatives from the Committee can present ideas direct to the Acting Town Clerk to gather costings and information to be presented at the next Committee meeting. 51 Notice of Motion Motion submitted by Cllr Puri on 31 January 2017. “This Council will review Birmingham City Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy Regulation 123 List (Attached). Regulation 123 provides for Birmingham City Council to set out a list of those projects or types of infrastructure that they intend to fund, or part fund, through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). There are a number of entries for Sutton Coldfield which may be considered obsolete or no longer appropriate. I move that Royal Page | 2 Planning and Highways Minutes | Wed 11th January 2017 Sutton Coldfield Town Council determines fresh priorities for any CIL funding in the town in consultation with local residents and request that BCC’s Regulation 123 List be updated to reflect these. In the meantime any entries deemed no longer suitable should be removed.” This item was withdrawn in Cllr Puri’s absence and will be reconsidered for next Month’s Committee meeting. 52 Planning Application 2016/10224/PA (attached) 79 Maney Hill Road, B72 1JJ Cllr Long raised concerns that it was difficult to evaluate due to the lack of details. Cllr Horrocks stated that the application seemed to be for residential use rather than an outbuilding, as stated on the documents. Cllr Allan suggested that the extension was too large, it was overdevelopment of the site and out of keeping with the area. Resolved that the Acting Town Clerk will object to the application, using appropriate wording to reflect the feeling of the Committee. 53 Planning Applications (i) Schedule of Planning Applications for Sutton Coldfield Town Council Area Sutton Four Oaks Applications 04 January - 1 February 2017 Application Site Address Development Description SCTC Resolution Number 43 Hathaway Road Erection of two storey side and 1 2016/10605/PA Sutton Coldfield single storey rear extensions and No objection Birmingham B75 5HY dormer window to side Application for a Certificate of 181 Dower Road Lawfulness for the proposed 2 2016/10567/PA Sutton Coldfield erection of single storey side and No objection Birmingham B75 6SZ rear extensions and alterations to existing driveway 105 Sherifoot Lane Erection of single storey detached 3 2017/00016/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection triple garage Birmingham B75 5DU 67 Jordan Road Erection of two storey side, two 4 2017/00175/PA Sutton Coldfield B75 storey rear, single storey rear and No objection 5AE single storey front extensions 124 Willmott Road Retention of single storey rear Sutton Coldfield 5 2017/00186/PA extension with alterations to roof No objection Birmingham B75 and side wall 5NW Mulberry Walk Unit Display of 2 no. internally 6 2017/00289/PA No objection 12 Prezzo Sutton illuminated projection signs Page | 3 Planning and Highways Minutes | Wed 11th January 2017 Coldfield Mere Green B74 3TE 56 Grange Lane Retention of single storey rear 7 2017/00217/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection detached structure Birmingham B75 5JX Application for a Certificate of 18 Ramblers Way Lawfulness for the proposed 8 2017/00372/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection erection of a single storey rear Birmingham B75 5DJ extension 215a Hill Village Road Installation of pitched roof to 9 2017/00358/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection front Birmingham B75 5JW 42 Jervis Crescent Erection of single and two storey 10 2016/10730/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection forward and rear extensions Birmingham B74 4PW 14A Luttrell Road Erection of single storey front and 11 2016/10031/PA Sutton Coldfield West No objection rear extensions Midlands B74 2SP Part of car park Application to determine the adjacent The Plough details for Condition Nos. 2 and Harrow PH Slade (drainage), 4 (levels), 12 (Parking 12 2017/00497/PA No objection Road Four Oaks Management Strategy) and 15 Sutton Coldfield (cycle storage) attached to Birmingham B75 5PF approval 2016/06333/PA Application for a Certificate of 23 Hillmorton Road Lawfulness for the proposed 13 2017/00393/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection erection of a first side extension Birmingham B74 4SQ and dormer to rear 15A Ladywood Road Installation of dormer window to 14 2017/00659/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection rear elevation Birmingham B74 2SW 5-7 Hillwood Non Material Amendment to Common Road approval 2016/07391/PA for 15 2017/00526/PA No objection Sutton Coldfield proposed amended elevations to Birmingham B75 5QJ proposed dwellings 22 Bishops Way Erection of two storey side and 16 2017/00568/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection single storey rear extensions Birmingham B74 4XU 36 Harcourt Drive Four Oaks Sutton Erection of first floor side 17 2017/00691/PA No objection Coldfield Birmingham extension with canopy to front B74 4LJ 24 Sherifoot Lane Alterations to existing rear 18 2017/00687/PA No objection Four Oaks Sutton conservatory Page | 4 Planning and Highways Minutes | Wed 11th January 2017 Coldfield Birmingham B75 5DR 43 Worcester Lane Non Material Amendment to 19 2017/00634/PA Sutton Coldfield B75 approval 2015/07469/PA for No objection 5NB relocation of 2 car parking spaces 20 Le More Sutton Erection of two storey rear 20 2017/00165/PA Coldfield Birmingham No objection extension B74 2XY 18 St Blaise Road Erection of single storey rear and 21 2017/00737/PA Sutton Coldfield first floor side extensions and No objection Birmingham B75 5NH alterations to front Unit 10 Mere Green Prior Approval for change of use Close Mere Green 22 2017/00722/PA from office (Use Class B1[a]) to No objection Road Sutton Coldfield Residential (Use Class C3) Birmingham B75 5BZ Application to determine the details for condition numbers 1 34-36 Streetly Lane (sample materials), 2 (drainage 23 2017/00811/PA Sutton Coldfield scheme), 3 (bat boxes), 4 No objection Birmingham B74 4TU (construction method statement) and 5 (obscure glazing) attached to approval 2016/07667/PA 8b Bracebridge Road Erection of single storey rear 24 2017/00723/PA Sutton Coldfield No objection extension Birmingham B74 2QL Sutton New Hall Applications 04 January - 1 February 2017 Application Site Address Development Description Number Change of use from residential dwelling (Use Class C3) To 6 no.

  • A History of Castle Vale
    A HISTORY OF CASTLE VALE By Geoff Bateson INTRODUCTION Castle Vale is a modern housing area on the north-eastern edge of Birmingham. It is unique in many ways and has gone through distinct sets of changes. The things that most people noticed on their first visit to the area, when it was first built as a housing estate, was the flat and open landscape and the very distinct boundaries which seemed to almost cut Castle Vale off from the rest of the city to make a little island of people. These features have recently been changed, and will continue to change into the future, but each change is dictated by past developments. To understand what an area is like now, it is important to understand its history. The history of the Castle Vale area can be traced backwards, layer by layer and then built up again as a sequential record of those things that made the area what it was at each stage of its development. This booklet follows the changing fortunes of the small area of land known as Castle Vale from its beginnings as a swampy forest, through the feudal times of battling barons, through the growing industrialisation of Birmingham to the First World War, on through its life as an airfield, finally to the construction of the modern housing estate and the very recent improvements to that area. From time to time little excursions will be taken into the wider history of the region but only in order to set the very local events within their wider setting and make them even more interesting than they already are.

  • Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2019
    Birmingham City Council Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2019 Flood Risk Management Annual Report Report of the Assistant Director Highways and Infrastructure - March 2019 1. Introduction A scrutiny review of Flood Risk Management and Response was published in June 2010. This set out 12 recommendations which were completed in 2010. In June 2010, The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 passed into law conveying new responsibilities and making Birmingham City Council a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). This report highlights progress in addressing these statutory responsibilities and provides an update on other flood risk management related issues.

  • Birmingham Botany Collections the Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall
    Birmingham Museums Birmingham Botany Collections The Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall Edited by Phil Watson and Emily Gough © Birmingham Museums Version 1.0 October 2014 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall 1 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall Introduction A brief biography of Bagnall (1830-1918) was given in Birmingham Botany Collections – Mosses (http://www.bmag.org.uk/uploads/fck/file/BBC%20Mosses.pdf ) and there is no need to repeat this here except to reiterate that he was Birmingham’s greatest botanist whose passion was driven by the compilation of his The Flora of Warwickshire (Gurney & Jackson, London and Cornish Brothers, Birmingham, 1891) and, subsequently, The Flora of Staffordshire which was published as a supplement to the Journal of Botany 39 (West, Newman & Co, London 1901). He presented his herbarium in its entirety to Birmingham Museum in 1913. This included 4570 specimens of mosses, 700 liverworts and 180 lichens all of which have already been published in the respective fascicles of Birmingham Botany Collections . The present fascicle covers his collection of vascular plants and contains a little over 6400 specimens. Of these he collected almost 3700 (57%) himself. The remaining 43% (just over 2750 specimens) were collected and passed on to Bagnall by a whole range of different people from across the country. Of these the most prolific was A. Ley who supplied almost 200 items. Only 135 specimens (a mere 2%) have no collector recorded for them and 72 of these are from Warwickshire, Staffordshire or Worcestershire so could well have been collected by Bagnall himself.

  • A Cut Around Sutton Coldfield
    A CUT AROUND SUTTON COLDFIELD D J Redwood A Cut Around Sutton Coldfield Stories of the Birmingham & Fazeley canal from Dunton to Minworth Introduction In 2014 personal interests in canals, family and local history came together during a quest for a new research paper. In examining the 1841 Census for unusual occupations in Sutton Coldfield, I noticed some entries that indicated canal based employment. From this small amount of information, I set out to discover what happened to some of the families who lived alongside the ‘Cut’ on the southern boundary of the Royal Town. It is unlikely that the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal had any major economic impact on many of the townspeople. Indeed, for much of its existence, it would have been quite remote, except for those families who lived in the small villages and settlements close to Sutton Coldfield through which the canal was cut in the late 18th century. This paper will focus mainly on those who lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries along or near the 3-mile pound from Dunton where the A446 crosses the canal near Curdworth Top Lock to where the A38 is taken across the waterway at the start of the Minworth Locks. Additionally, the role of the canal in the building of the Minworth Sewage Works will be explored as it played a key part in its’ construction and in the movement of supplies and materials. During my research, I came across a small number of other items related to the length of canal I have focussed upon and these have been gathered together as Snippets.

  • Tree Planting
    Annual Report 2011 12/8/11 16:04 Page 1 Annual Review 2010 / 2011 The Birmingham Civic Society Annual Report 2011 12/8/11 16:04 Page 2 Message from Paul Farrow Chairman of the Trees Committee of The Birmingham Civic Society I am delighted to present Birmingham Trees for Life’s report on the fifth year of its activities. I have enjoyed taking over the role from Rob Blyth, my predecessor – a difficult act to follow! This planting season saw 144 large trees, 4890 saplings and 40 fruit trees planted at 20 sites. Over the five year period we have planted nearly 15,000 trees on almost 100 sites – a magnificent addition to Birmingham’s green canopies. This has only been possible due to the support of Birmingham City Council and once again thanks are due to Councillor Mullaney, who as the Cabinet Member responsible for Leisure, Sport and Culture, has been instrumental in ensuring that financial support continues. Our thanks also to other Councillors and the Leader of the Council too, who attended a number of the 21 plantings held during this year. My gratitude also goes to the members of my Trees Committee who have given up their spare time voluntarily to promote our programme and get muddy tree planting. To mark the planting of our 10,000th tree a special planting event was held in Chinn Brook Meadows in the Billesley Ward of Councillor Len Gregory and his wife, who attended officially as the Lord and Lady Mayoress of Birmingham. We are grateful for their enthusiastic support, involvement and interest in the organisation throughout their year in office and hope this connection will continue in the future; Cllr Gregory was influential in the setting up of BTFL.
