Representation to Mendip Local Plan Part II: Sites and Policies Pre-submission Plan For: Mr and Mrs Gilburt By: Mark Reynolds BSc (Hons) MSc MRTPI 1. RELEVANT POLICY TO WHICH THIS REPRESENTATION RELATES 1.1 This objection relates to the proposed designation of my Client’s land referred to as site LGSFRO005 – Meadows alongside the River Frome on the south side as a Local Green Space (LGS) (Fig 1). This representation challenges this designation but it also questions the validity of the policy approach as a whole. 1.2 The following sections of the representation outline the reasons for the objection to the proposed designation as a LGS. Fig 1 – Map showing the extent of Rodden Meadows (south) and surrounding context 2. THE PLANNING HISTORY OF THE RODDEN MEADOWS (SOUTH) SITE 2.1 Site LGSFRO005 did until 2015 form part of the Council’s housing land supply for the settlement of Frome. Mendip District Council’s (MDC) Housing Trajectory – 1st April 2014 included the site within the 5 year supply period from 2018/19 onwards for Frome (Fig 2). The site is known in this document as FRO 148 Garston Farm (urban greenfield). The Housing Trajectory is a key evidence base which supports the housing land supply. The full document can be found at Appendix 1. 2.2 The housing trajectory identified the site as being required to deliver 20 dwellings. 10 in 2022 and a further 10 in 2023. The Housing Trajectory forms a critical part of the final evidence base for housing land supply. It is Stage 5 in the production of the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA). The site formed part of the Housing Trajectory which was published following the introduction of guidance in the NPPG on HELAA production. Fig 2 – Extract from MDC Housing Trajectory – 1st April 2014 2.3 The earlier stages of production of the HELAA include a broad identification of locations and sites at stage 1. This assessment records any physical constraints as well as any potential environmental constraints and an initial assessment of whether the site is suitable for a particular use (in this case residential) is undertaken. Stage 2 involves calculating the development potential of the site. This, the NPPG guides, should take into account the individual site characteristics and physical constraints. Stage 2 clearly advises that the potential impact including the effect upon landscape features, nature and heritage conservation will be taken into account in terms of considering the suitability of sites. Stage 4 of the process involves a full review of the sites to yield an indicative trajectory and Stage 5 requires the publication of the findings. 2.4 The key point to note is that in the case of my Client’s land for the site to be included within the housing trajectory it must have been put through the robust process outlined above in terms of testing constraints and opportunities. Only upon passing these tests could the land be included within the trajectory. The site was part of the conservation area for Frome and also an OALS at the time when the site was included within the trajectory. 2.5 The Council must therefore have concluded that the allocation of the site for 20 dwellings would be compliant with the terms of Local Plan Part 1 Policy DP2: Open Areas of Local Significance (OALS). This policy advises that ‘permission will not be granted for development which would harm the contribution to distinctive local character made by OALS’. The OALS covers a larger area than that which was proposed for development and with additional landscaping measures the conclusion that the site could be developed to an extent is supported. 2.6 Likewise at the point at which the land was put forward within the SHLAA for development the site itself had become part of the Frome Conservation Area.

Present: Cllr C Abbott (Chair), Cllr J Scarrow, Cllr G Hitchins, Cllr M Walker, Cllr Eastment and Cllr B Lund. In attendance: Nicola Duke (Parish Clerk) and 5 members of the public. Public Participation Mrs Lucy Trott – spoke regarding agenda item 7925(c) re: pedestrian crossing at Bell Hill. It was noted that the school was currently without a lollipop person but it was also noted that the lollipop service did not cover pre-school hours. Mrs Trott reported that parents had expressed concern at the dangers of crossing Bell Hill with small children, due to the speed and volume of the traffic and asked for consideration to be given to a zebra or pelican crossing to address this problem. Cllr Scarrow confirmed that she shared the concerns raised and reported that the issue had been discussed at a recent governor’s meeting. She expressed concern that the 20 mph limit was not slowing the traffic down as it came into the village. Cllr Eastment reported that there were technical issues relating to the installation of any pedestrian crossing. He reported that the lollipop lady had left her post due to safety concerns. He also reported that the speed indicator device had been installed at the bottom of Bell Hill and the data would be extracted and reported to the police and to Highways.

    MEETING of DITCHEAT PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF DITCHEAT PARISH COUNCIL HELD ON THURSDAY 19th SEPTEMBER 2019 AT 7.30PM AT CHURCH ROOM, DITCHEAT. PRESENT: Chairperson – Councillor Evans (CE) and Councillors – Harrison (HH), Dando (JD), Hughes (LH) and Hutton (RH) IN ATTENDANCE: Miss P Griffiths – Clerk to the Council. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION – CE invited members of the public present to address the Council. Ms Paterson from Orme Architects gave an update on the new design for the proposed development at Folly Orchard. Mr R Yeoman spoke to support the development at Folly Orchard but insisted that provision of a pavement was essential. Mr A Nicholls stated that in principle he was not against the development at Folly Orchard but that all the dwellings in the proposed development should be set back in line with the existing houses, that a pavement should be included in the scheme and that in order to ensure the future of the orchard at the rear of the plot perhaps it could be donated to the Parish Council or others to manage and maintain. Mr R Yeoman then spoke again to comment of the planning application at Evercreech Junction stating that whilst he supports the industrial area was concerned about noise and light pollution and expressed disappointment in the landscaping at the site which was a condition of previous applications. 147/19 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE - Apologies for absence from Councillors Clark (HC) and Travis (RT) were received and approved. District Councillor Greenhalgh (JG) and PCSO Dury had sent their apologies. 148/19 CO-OPTION TO FILL THE VACANCY ON THE PARISH COUNCIL – Mrs Julie Derham (JDr) and Mr Roger James (RJ) were both co-opted as councillors by unanimous vote.

  • The 'Great' Battle of the Croscombe Cross and My Village Ancestry
    The ‘Great’ Battle of the Croscombe Cross and my village ancestry By Mark Wareham Updated 26th August 2013 In the late 19th century there was an uprising over the preservation of the medieval cross in the village of Croscombe in Somerset. This incident was as a result of efforts by the authorities to destroy the ancient monument and I was delighted to discover that a couple of my ancestors and other family members were directly involved and that one of them was one of the ringleaders. This is a brief story of the skirmish with same notes on the Say, Carver and Marshman families of the Croscombe. I shall start with descriptions of the ‘battle’ from two authors.
