The Town Council raised the concern that there will be no access to the rear garden other than through the house.

 

1636          Change of use from jump store to general office use. Crabtree Arena, Firs Lane, Hoylandswaine for Mrs A Pears.

The Town Council is concerned that the gradual development of this site will lead to residential use.

 

1631          Residential Development of five houses and a two storey block of ten flats. Land at Lyttleton Crescent, Penistone for Equity Housing Group.

The Town Council supports the much needed Affordable Housing Scheme. However there have been a number of legitimate concerns raised by the residents that must be addressed.  Firstly, the concern over access for emergency vehicles.  Many of these properties do not have driveways or parking places.  Cars are therefore parked on the road side.  The road is only 4.4m wide.  When cars have parked on the pavement they have received tickets. Examples have been given where ambulances have been unable to reach their destination. The concern is that the additional parking will increase this problem.  Secondly, the reduction in the size of the play area.  Moved by Cllr L Collett, seconded by Cllr Unsworth and RESOLVED that these concerns be put to the Planning Office.
