In Attendance Olive O’Sullivan - Town Clerk & Natalia Gorman - Administrative Officer. 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. John Heywood, a resident of Vesey ward and a member of ECO Sutton presented Committee with further findings on poor air quality throughout Sutton Coldfield. The Chairman advised ECO Sutton that the Town Council supports their work and that their findings would be reported at the March Planning & Highways Meeting. Philip Owen, a New Hall resident raised a concern regarding the sequence of the Traffic Lights on Wylde Green Road/ Birmingham Road. Mr. Owen raised this issue to Committee in January 2017. His concern was passed to Karl Randall, Senior Service Engineer at Birmingham City Council (BCC) who referred the matter to Amey. The chairman advised that the Town Council would speak to Mr. Randall for an update. 55 Apologies For Absence The Clerk received apologies from Cllrs Long & Puri. Resolved to accept the apologies received. 56 Declarations of Interest None. 57 Minutes of Last Meeting Resolved that the minutes of the meeting of Planning & Highways Committee Meeting held on Tuesday 9th January 2018 be signed as a true record of the meeting. 58 Matters Arising None Page | 1 Planning and Highways Minutes | Tues 6th February 2018 59 Junction of East View Road and Wylde Green Road The Town Council had acted on requests from residents for safety measures at this junction and commissioned Birmingham City Council to design and implement a scheme for a safer junction at this location. The Chairman advised Committee that Birmingham City Council Highways Engineers had carried out both an informal and statutory consultation which ended on 12th January 2018. A total of 45 letters and emails were received, 12 fully in support of introducing a 20mph zone with speed cushions, 16 in support of the scheme but with less speed cushions, 7 would prefer a roundabout, 7 would prefer traffic signals and 4 other options. Taking residents views into consideration the professional advice of the Birmingham City Council Highways Engineers is that calming measures would be the most effective option of speed reduction that could be justified and can feasibly introduced within the physical constraints of the junction. However it is suggested that one set of cushions could be replaced with painted 20mph speed roundels. Subject to approval, a contractor would be procured through Birmingham City Councils Highways and Infrastructure Works Framework Contract 2014-2018. Resolved to accept the recommendation of Birmingham City Council Highways Engineers for the amended scheme and for the work to progress by Birmingham City Council and funded from the £30,000 allocated from the road safety measures budget, previously approved by Full Council. 60 Performance Information Resolved to note the performance progress report. 61 Planning Applications Four Oaks Ward 3rd January - 31st January 2018 Application SCTC No Number Site Address Development Description Recommendation Co-op Store adjacent to Plough Installation of ATM, satellite and Harrow Slade 2018/00643/PA dishes and air intake / extract No Objection Road Four Oaks louvre vents Sutton Coldfield 1 B75 5PF Erection of two storey side 12 Mordaunt Drive extension and installation of 2018/00493/PA Sutton Coldfield No Objection dormers windows to front and B75 5PT 2 rear 58a Rosemary Hill Erection of single storey and first 2018/00550/PA Road Sutton No Objection floor front extensions 3 Coldfield B74 4HJ Page | 2 Planning and Highways Minutes | Tues 6th February 2018 Slade Road Co- Display of 1 no. internally operative Food illuminated fascia sign, 1 no. 2018/00546/PA Sutton Coldfield No Objection internally illuminated totem sign Birmingham B75 and 6 no. non illuminated signs 4 5PF 282 Lichfield Road Display of 1 no. internally 2018/00226/PA Astor House Sutton illuminated sign and 3 no. non No Objection Coldfield B74 2UG illuminated signs 5 Woodside Farm Retrospective application for re- 2018/00485/PA Duttons Lane Sutton surfacing of existing track way No Objection 6 Coldfield B75 5RJ with compacted aggregate 181 Harvest Fields Erection of single storey rear 2018/00470/PA Way Sutton No Objection extension 7 Coldfield B75 5TJ 11 Ryknild Close Sutton Coldfield Erection of single storey rear 2018/00443/PA No Objection Birmingham B74 extension 8 4UP 9 Buckton Close Erection of two storey side and Sutton Coldfield 2018/00400/PA forward and single storey side No Objection Birmingham B75 extension 9 5TF 54 Hillside Road Four Oaks Sutton Erection of single storey front 2018/00266/PA Coldfield No Objection extension Birmingham B74 10 4DQ 67 Jordan Road Erection of two storey side and Sutton Coldfield rear, single storey rear and single 2018/00418/PA No Objection West Midlands B75 storey front extensions including 11 5AE porch 2 Cliveden Coppice Non-Material Amendment to Four Oaks Park approval 2015/06708/PA for new 2018/00387/PA Sutton Coldfield rear vehicular gate, pedestrian No Objection Birmingham B74 gate and amended landscape 12 2RG scheme 38 Streetly Lane Erection of single storey side 2018/00247/PA Sutton Coldfield B74 No Objection extension 13 4TU Page | 3 Planning and Highways Minutes | Tues 6th February 2018 7 Shearers Place Erection of single storey rear 2018/00330/PA Sutton Coldfield No Objection extension 14 B75 5UN 93 Worcester Lane Sutton Coldfield Erection of single storey rear 2017/10707/PA No Objection Birmingham B75 extension 15 5NJ Erection of two storey and single 207 Walsall Road storey rear and single storey Four Oaks Sutton front extensions, erection of 2018/00299/PA No Objection Coldfield West single storey detached building Midlands B74 4QA to rear and alterations to front 16 elevation 145 Lichfield Road Four Oaks Sutton Erection of two storey side and 2018/00191/PA No Objection Coldfield West rear extensions 17 Midlands B74 2RY Support with Manorial Cottage comment.
