Sara Campbell Scole Parish Council Woodthorpe Farm Goose Green Winfarthing DISS Norfolk IP22 2ER 18 July 2018 tel. 01953 861486 email: [email protected] Alex Scott - Planning Yellow Team Babergh & Mid Suffolk District Councils Endeavour House 8 Russell Road IPSWICH IP1 2BX Sent by email to: [email protected] Dear Sir Applications for Planning Permission without Compliance of Conditions - DC/18/02970 Scole Parish Council wishes to submit the following comments: 1. This is the proposed Application under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act for variation of Condition 5 (Estate Road junctions and splays) relating to DC/17/03027 (Erection of petrol filling station, restaurant (sic) and drive-thru takeaway (sic) ). The variation is for the removal of the requirement of access works prior to any other works and to change this to prior to the permitted use being implemented. 2. Conditions 3 and 5 imposed on the original application (DC/17/03027) requires that the first thing to happen on site is the construction of the estate road junctions with cleared sight splays. This is obviously to ensure the safety of both drivers of construction HGV’s entering and exiting the site and that of traffic passing on the busy A roads that the site sits adjacent to. 3. It beggars belief that whilst the District Council requires a safe exit from the site onto the highway once the development is complete, it does not require the same during construction. We would argue that this is the MOST dangerous time, when the passing traffic has not even got used to the sites existence. 4. The site entrance is on the inside of a long bend with high hedging adjacent to the carriageway. Thus, drivers approaching the site have limited visibility of any traffic emerging from the site. Also, traffic trying to exit the site has to partially enter the highway to check whether there is any oncoming traffic.
