Affordable homes which would be more appropriate for the demographics of the local area and must meet the identified need of the parish of Silverdale. • The current proposals seem to be overdevelopment of a site with limited accessibility to the nearby local services. • The Parish Council would like to see traffic calming measures in place, in view of the nearby waste site with HGVs visiting frequently. • Section 106 open space contributions are used to improve the poor quality play facilities located off Park Road. • That the land is not contaminated following the storage of old unused fridges. Planning Policy in relation to Parking at New developments – in particular HMOs which are converted later It was RESOLVED that the Clerk writes to Planning Policy to ask that there is a policy in place for adequate parking requirements for HMOs converted at a later date. |
