2018-02-27 at 19:00 in “The Stocks”

A.    Chair: Roger Tordoff

C.    Apologies:

D.    Agenda Items

     1. Discussion of any submission to the inquiry into fracking at Marsh Lane.

X.    Any Planning Concerns. See the penultimate section.

Y.    Any questions or comments on the “Emails received”, “Information watch”, or “Issues remaining”. sections below; or any other business.

Z.     Confirmation, or change to scheduled next meeting date of March 27th.


On the Agenda Items

1. We understand that applications have been made to begin exploratory work to drill for gas in Rotherham and Derbyshire, and INEOS has been granted a permit to treat any wastewater at Starnhill Close (off Station Rd), Ecclesfield. INEOS has offered an estimated £2.5 billion in compensation, but as far as I can see, only to people living near the wells. More recently, Sheffield City Council has passed a motion opposing fracking on Council Land, but MP Clive Betts is reported to have said that INEOS have asked to move any planning applications from the Council to the Planning Inspectorate.

The items in the next few sections will not be gone through one by one, but can be discussed in any other business if any member wishes to bring them up.


Communications received, e.g. on ecclesfield.conservation@gmail.com


Information watch


Issues from previous minutes

If any members can help, or want to bring any of the following up for any other reason, they can do so in any other business.

*    Our on-line archive and website need attention.
*    Designs for the pop-up banners are still in progress.
*      We have a fireproof trunk for storing archive material. Members might prefer a more generally accessible location if one can be found [As well as perhaps other things such as our Gazebo].
*      We still have plans to survey major trees within the Conservation Area.
*      Sheffield City Council’s alcohol licensing system is still not on-line. This not only makes it difficult for anybody to find out what restrictions apply to any licences granted in the past, but we may be missing some of their new decisions, since we can only see the latest (2 week?) decisions.


New planning applications

The following planning applications were found by searching for Ward = “East Ecclesfield”, Parish = Ecclesfield Parish Council”, postcodes S35 9?? and S35 1TE, validated from 24th Nov 2017 - 26th Feb 2017. [You may be able to click on the underlined links, and then the [Documents] tab to see the drawings etc. Otherwise, just go to planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/, then enter the “Ref. No” for the application you are interested in.
The contents of brackets and italics are my interpretation - made after briefly scanning some of the planning documents]

 Awaiting Decision. I could not find any further documents on the SCC planning portal, since Pegasus asked for a meeting. The (alternative?) proposal for a Motorway Service Station on the M1 at Junction 33, showed no further documents since 12 Sept 2017.  http://rotherham.planportal.co.uk/?id=RB2017/1347].

The agenda for the next planning meeting at 10th April 2018 did not appear on the SCC website. Anybody interested in any of the new or pending applications may want to check the agendas at http://democracy.sheffield.gov.uk/ieListMeetings.aspx?CommitteeId=373 and see if they want to attend or speak on any of the decisions they may be concerned about.
