2013 iv Land off Church Lane, Newchurch, Rossendale Supporting Statement 1 Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 This Supporting Statement has been prepared by Peter Brett Associates (PBA) on behalf of Crystal Property and Land, to support the resubmission of a planning application for six residential dwellings and a car parking area at land off Church Lane in Newchurch, Rossendale. 1.1.2 The applicant has previously submitted three planning applications for residential development at the site. The first application (Ref: 2010/0693) was withdrawn, and the second application (Ref: 2011/0397) was refused on 23 December 2011 for the following reasons: i. The proposed development would result in the loss of an area of open space (the bowling green) regularly and continually used by the local community. It has not been adequately demonstrated that this open space is surplus to requirements. Accordingly, the scheme is contrary to the advice of the Sports Council and PPG17, Policies L1/EM3 of the Regional Spatial Strategy for the North West of England (2008) and Policy 7 of the Council's adopted Core Strategy DPD (2011). ii. The proposed development by reason of the layout, scale, design/appearance and implications for trees the subject of a Tree Preservation Order is considered to constitute poor design that fails to protect or enhance the locally distinct character and appearance of the area and the adjacent listed buildings or their settings, most particularly the Grade ll* St Nicholas Church. The scheme is therefore considered to be contrary to PPS1/PPS3/PPS5/ PPG13, Policies DP1-9/RT2/RT4/EM1 of the Regional Spatial Strategy for the North West of England (2008) and Policies 1/8/9/16/18/23/24 of the Council's Core Strategy DPD (2011). iii. The proposed development would result in inadequate visibility splays to the north and south of the proposed access point, would not provide the required parking spaces or provide for the adequate turning for refuse vehicles within the site and would result in the loss of a pub car park with no provision provided elsewhere. The scheme would therefore be detrimental to highway safety in the area, contrary to PPS1/PPS3/PPG13, Policies RT2/RT4 of the Regional Spatial Strategy for the North West of England (2008) and Policies 1/8/9/24 of the Council's Core Strategy DPD (2011). iv. The proposed development, most particularly by reason of the dwellings to the east of the site would result in the loss of privacy to the garden areas of Bolton Street properties and loss of light/outlook to the garden areas of No's 59 and 61 Church Street. The scheme would therefore be contrary to PPS1/PPS3, and Policies 1/ 24 of the Council's Core Strategy DPD (2011). 1.1.3 The most recent planning application (Ref: 2013/0019) was also withdrawn following comments from Rossendale Borough Council that the application was likely to be refused for similar reasons as those described above. Crystal Property and Land has now carefully considered these comments, and is re-submitting a revised planning application that responds to the Council’s concerns and provides additional evidence that robustly addresses the issues raised. 1.1.4 In this Statement we demonstrate that the application scheme is consistent with current national planning policy and the development plan when taken as a whole, and specifically address

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Bill Alley 1919-2004
    Bill Alley 1919-2004 • Played 1st Grade for Petersham and 12 matches for NSW • Professional boxer, winning his first 28 fights • Played County cricket for Somerset • Umpired 10 Test matches Bill Alley was a “legend” as a cricketer. Strangely for this left hand batsman and right arm medium pace bowler, his legendary status was earned in England after a solid grounding playing 12 times for New South Wales scoring three centuries. William Edward Alley was born at Hornsby on 3 February 1919 and went to school at Brooklyn near the Hawkesbury. His first job was on an oyster farm. He joined the Northern District Club and made his 1st Grade debut in 1938-39. After five seasons transferred to Petersham. In his early days with Petersham, he travelled to Sydney each Saturday morning returning on the paper train later that night or early Sunday morning. He was also an outstanding boxer who won his first 28 fights when he turned professional. A mishap in the nets while practising with Petersham where he sustained a broken jaw put paid to his boxing career however, and he thereafter concentrated on cricket. In his first season in 1943-44 with Petersham he scored 1,413 runs which remained the Sydney 1st Grade record for 63 years. He scored six centuries that season including tons against University (141*), North Sydney (119), Wests (100) and Mosman (111*) in successive matches. His best score was against Randwick when he hit 230 not out including 12 sixes and 21 fours with his first 100 coming in 59 minutes.

The key benefits they provide are listed below: • Encourages increased levels of physical activity • Improves mental health • Provides opportunities to connect with the natural environment • Offers space for local food production • Creates a greener and more pleasant environment • Helps to combat a range of environmental problems including air quality, flooding and climate change.

  • Consultation on Key Issues and Draft Policies May 2018 Colne Neighbourhood Plan Issues and Draft Policies Consultation – May 2018 2
    Consultation On Key Issues and Draft Policies May 2018 Colne Neighbourhood Plan Issues and Draft Policies Consultation – May 2018 2 Foreword The Colne Neighbourhood Plan – a vision for Colne until 2030 Have your say! Our Colne Plan Consultation finishes on 30th June. Thank you for helping us formulate our Colne Plan. If you care about Colne, you must take part in this consultation, so your views are represented. We wanted to set our own local agenda for the town and to engage with the people who live and work in Colne in order to do so. Neighbourhood Plans have been around for seven years, but there aren’t many in Lancashire. Once we realised that the people who care about the town most can have their say about Colne’s future, we decided to embark on the long and complicated journey of completing a Neighbourhood Plan. Our Working Party, consisting of Councillors, local charities and community groups, has been working on this draft document for over a year and are now ready to hear what you think in our informal consultation. We have formulated 16 policies and these slot into six broad themes: • Historic Colne • Green Spaces • Housing Growth • Community Facilities • Our Town Centre • Transport We want to get our policies right and we want your input. Perhaps we need to add more policy areas or policies? Perhaps we need to rework those we have already drafted? If you agree with our policies, please tell us! It could be that only one or two policy areas are close to your heart – that doesn’t matter, just give us your view on those.
