- CHAIR’S REPORT
WC:
No response received from WC to the email to Sarah Hughes (WC link officer) to request feedback from our meeting with WC on 3rd November 2014 and to arrange a follow up meeting to discuss WC Site allocations DPD.
MT has requested a meeting on the WC proposed Site Allocation process. WC have invited PCs to attend a workshop on Site Allocations on 26th Feb and MT will seek to be the PC representative.
MT described the relevant key points of the WC Core Strategy as it affects Large Villages in general and Winterslow specifically, including:
Focus on employment and affordable housing
Support for the elderly
40% affordable homes but only for sites with 11 or more units
Only 56 new dwellings envisaged across all villages (except Downton) in Southern Area and such number can be provided by ‘windfall’ applications or NPs
The PC is investigating the potential of Winterslow becoming part of the WC ‘Campus’ initiative.
No news yet on the Village Green inquiry.
Southcott Homes (Site 10):
Ken Ludlow has agreed to provide local knowledge on drainage/flood risk.
Initial proposals are expected soon.
We have asked if Southcott can pass us details of foul water capacity.
We have impressed upon Southcott that all communications with the SG must be open to the public and that proposals for the site must be addressed to the PC, not to the SG.
Website:
21 Comments have been received in relation to our proposed site list. We have approx 200 people on our newsletter distribution list. Comments range from full agreement to no houses at all and ‘traffic’ is a common concern.
Other
MT has met the Practice Manager and Operations Manager of the Endless St surgery. Increasing care for elderly, less demand for children. Hoping to receive relevant data.
All landowners of sites on our proposed list have now been contacted.
- TREASURER’S REPORT
The final 10% payments from our grants have been received by the PC. - ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
