June 2007 - Gladedale's Planning
Application |
| |
We understand that it is Gladedale's current
intention to issue their planning application in mid-July. Note:
this supersedes the incorrect information received from a Green
Issues employee who told SPC it was due mid to end June (we
apologise, but this was the latest information at the 1st June
for the Goring Gap News deadline for the 16th/17th June issue).
Gladedale intend to issue a detailed planning application for
12 houses. These comprise:
a. 6 'affordable
houses' and 2 large houses on the West Area (Land block
3), i.e. south of Yarnton House on the High Street.
b. 2 large houses on the Sheds
Area (Land Block 4).
c. 2 large houses on the Riverside
Area (Land Block 5), on raised ground.
For the locations please refer to 'STOP
Gladedale Campaign/Campaign Maps and Photos/Aerial Photograph'.
All the 12 houses are to be accessed by a proposed new private
road off the A329 Reading Road. This would join the A329 opposite
the public footpath leading up Green Hill. We believe the WBC
Highways Authority have informed Gladedale that neither Vicarage
Lane or High Wall Driveway (adjacent to Flintstones) meet existing
policy requirements to access their proposed back land development.
Consequently - also most importantly – any new access
must not create a rat run around the Bull traffic lights. As
a consequence their advisers have proposed an 'engineering solution'.
This would involve high kerbs and/or bollards in Vicarage Lane
to prevent cars from the two proposed riverside properties (or
any of the proposed new houses) from using Vicarage Lane, whilst
still allowing access to (and egress from) Windrush, The Old
Vicarage and the new Vicarage. In other words they wish to convince
WBC that the cars belonging to the new houses would/could only
use Gladedale's proposed new road, and their 'engineering solution'
would prevent a rat run. |
