The following update information was provided:-

(a)        Change of Meeting Date

        The Chair confirmed that following circulation of a proposed meeting date change by the Clerk, the next meeting of the Planning Board would remain as originally scheduled on Thursday, 31^st October, 2024.

(b)        Appeal Notification – Widening of existing access and access track, formation of additional access tracks within the site, (including partial relocation of existing access track and provision of passing bays), erection of building to house borehole equipment and erection of water tank at Lindrick Nursery, Worksop Road, Lindrick for Carrier Landscapes Ltd. (RB2023/1132)

Further to Minute No. 56 of the meeting of the Planning Board held on 18^th January, 2024, the Planning Manager confirmed the outcome of the appeal by the Inspector following refusal of the application.

The Inspector allowed the appeal and subsequently granted planning permission conditionally and in doing so indicated:-

“When exiting the site, users can see along the highway over a considerable distance in both directions. This would allow for users to exit the site safely once traffic has passed. When specifically turning right, users may have to wait longer due to the 50 mph speed along the A57. However, as the A57 is a single carriageway in this location, and the vehicle would be located within the site, the exiting of vehicles from the site will not cause an unacceptable impact to highway safety.”

Resolved:-  That the update information be noted.
