PHEONIX/RICHARD COOPER STREET
The Chair introduce Mr. Richard Parry who had come to speak to Members regarding the
Peter Ward planning application for Phoenix/Richard Cooper Street.
Mr. Parry explained that the planning application for this development had been to committee
and that although there had been no objections from the highways department, the Environmental
Agency had expressed concerns regarding flood risk. Also letters had been received from local residents regarding the design of the development and that he would report the request of the members of the public regarding the possibility of vehicular access to the rear of their properties.
The Chair stated that during meetings with the Shuffleton Group at the beginning of this project
the issue of the rear access had been highlighted.
Councillor Rust stated that it had previously been suggested that residents be approached with
a view to donating some of their rear garden to allow a rear access.
Councillor Beck-Taylor expressed her concerns regarding the access from Edinburgh Street
stating that at present it was like a rat run and suggested bollards be sited at the rear of
the Costcutters store. She also suggested that waste from the development be removed via
Richard Cooper Street on to Hook Road.
Councillor Kitchen stated that in her opinion the suggestion of residents donating part
of their garden to create vehicular access was an ideal solution.
Councillor South asked that the residents of Marshfield Roads’ comments be considered.
