Ward: Castle

The receipt of a letter from Eardisley Parish Council reiterating concerns about pedestrian safety was reported. 

In accordance with the criteria of public speaking Mrs Ellis-Jones (objector) spoke against the application and Mr Spreckley (agent) spoke in favour. 

The Sub-Committee felt that the proposals would improve the approach to the village but shared the concerns of the Parish Council and objectors about pedestrian safety.  It was noted that it was not feasible to put a footpath on the site but agreed that all steps possible should be taken to ensure traffic calming and that the applicants should be requested to contribute to a traffic-calming scheme.
