Attached is the Agenda for the forthcoming Parish Council meeting on Tuesday 12th September 2017 in the Sportsman’s Lounge of the Memorial Hall commencing at 7.30pm.
Crest Nicolson Liaison Meeting
Charfield Parish Council will be hosting a liaison meeting with the Crest Nicolson developers in early September, to discuss issues arising from the construction of 106 homes at the Wotton end of the village. Although this is not a public meeting, it is the best platform for engaging with the developers in order to raise parishioners concerns and find solutions to issues as construction continues. The Parish Council already has a number of agenda items, but please contact the Clerk if there is anything you would like the Parish Council to cover at the meeting. Likewise, a liaison meeting with Bellway Homes is being sought.
Barratts to Appeal via Public Inquiry
The application for a 121 home drop-in development at Warners Court farm, which was Refused by South Gloucestershire, is to go to a Public Inquiry. Date to be advised.
There is a short period between now and 3rd October when written submissions can be made to the Planning Inspectorate. Details in the letter, click here.
When writing in support of the Refusal, it may be useful first to read the DEVELOPMENT CONTROL (WEST) COMMITTEE Report of 21st July 2017 which can be found on the South Gloucestershire planning portal using the application number PT16/6924/O.

Damaged Tree – Manor Road/Underhill Road
The damaged tree on the green space at the junction of Manor Road and Underhill Road has been reported to South Gloucestershire Council. The Parish Council offered to remove the tree and re-plant with a new one. However, we have just been notified that South Glos Council will be removing the tree and will schedule a re-planting in the winter.
PROW OCH8 (rail crossing) Update
I’ve today received an update from the Planning Inspectorate regarding the outcome of the public footpath OCH8 diversion order. You can see the letter in three parts below but essentially the decision was made to pass the whole process directly to the Secretary of State for EFRA, for the consideration of either a bridge or tunnel option. More updates no doubt in the fullness of time. Continue reading PROW OCH8 (rail crossing) Update
South Gloucestershire Council – Development Control (West) Meeting
As you know, South Gloucestershire Council held the Development Control (West) Committee meeting on Thursday 27th July 2017 to discuss (amongst others) the Barratts planning application PT16/6924/O. The meeting was really well attended with somewhere in the region of thirty Charfield residents present – there were so many people there they had to get extra chairs out! The Clerk re-presented the Parish Council’s objections to the application and Cllr. O’Neill reiterated objections. In case you didn’t know, the DC Committee voted unanimously to refuse the application! Below are some notes made by the Clerk – they are not extensive, just some of a salient points raised by the Planning Officer.
