sections below; or any other business.

On the Agenda Items
1)
I
will bring a printout of our objection to the tankering of waste from
the proposed Marsh
Lane drilling,
to this meeting. The
enquiry to decide on
INEOS’s proposal may
proceed for most of this week.
In
case anybody wants to attend, possibly to hear the case for INEOS,
then I will add
that most of the early sessions started at 9:30, at
the Market Hall, Assembly Rooms, Soresby Street, Chesterfield.
There
is also
a
meeting of “Frack
Free Ecclesfield and Chapeltown” on 10th
July at 7:30 in Ecclesfield Library.
2)
YR kindly
emailed
us a list of 54 people associated with Ecclesfield who died in the
first
world war.
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,
e.g.
on ecclesfield.conservation@gmail.com.
We
received an email from the Secretary
of “Frack Free Ecclesfield and Chapeltown”, suggesting that
people sign the petition against “fast-tracking fracking by:- i)
treating exploratory drilling as permitted development; and ii)
including fracking in the Nationally Significant Infrastructure
Regime”.
SM,
emailed to make sure we knew about the Player’s Lounge
application, but said he did not know why it had been resurrected.
See
also the revived planning application for this site under New
Planning Applications below.
Information
watch
The
Police are seeking information on the stabbing outside the
Player’s Lounge just after 12 am on the night of Sat/Sun 17th/18th
June. The
Star reported that the 16 year old has now been discharged from
hospital. See also the revived planning application for this site
under New Planning Applications below.
There
is a new SCC ePetition
against “demolishing our trees”.
Protesters
have requested
that companies do not provide services to the fracking industry, and
again mentioned the possible processing of wastewater in
Ecclesfield.
The
Environmental Audit Committee is looking for submissions
on a proposed environmental watchdog to replace EU legislation. It
asks 8 questions, including one on the proposal to exclude climate
change from its remit.
There
are complaints
about the late grass cutting on Yew Lane and throughout Sheffield.
Issues complete
Thanks to help from RT, all three heritage boards have had
re-enforcing washers fitted and are now wobble‑free. In case
any further work is needed, I should mention that the board’s
security screws need a special tool to unscrew them, but I have put
this is with our archive collection in case anybody wants to do
further work on the boards.
Outstanding
issues
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 20th

101 is on the left, just after The Wheel. It is beyond the
Conservation Area, and neither the old conservatory or the new
extension appear to me to be visible from the road. Also, the layout
submitted with the application shows the extension being outside the
what the applicant conjectures to be the borders of the Green Belt,
and I could not see any large or important trees that would be
affected. There is one comment regretting the fact that this is a
retrospective application, the extension having already been
built.]

for the
original
SCC refusal included the results of noise

and the conclusion that "the building is not suitable
for
residential use".]

the “re-cladding in stone”, and “additional dormer window”

problems the dormer windows create, but they still seem to be in the
plans.]

No: 17/04814/FUL | Received: Thu 23 Nov 2017 | Validated: Thu 23 Nov
2017.
[2018-06-26
Status: Decided.
Approval was given for one 4 bed detached house.
Reasons quoted, included I)
that the Council can only
demonstrate 4.5 year’s deliverable housing; ii)
that this is a brown field site and the council has an objective of
88% of developments of previously developed land.
This is the full planning application for a house on land for which
provisional permission for 2 houses has already been conditionally
granted. The land currently forms the long back garden of No. 135
which lies adjacent to the Kindergarten car park, and continues
almost to the lake.
Objections were
lodged by Mr Steer and the Ecclesfield Dam Fishing Club on the
grounds of lack of permission for the proposed vehicular access from
the Kindergarten car park. However,
the officers report says that “...rights of access in
most instances are not material [planning] consideration...”, and
“...permission … is a matter that he [i.e. the applicant] will
have to resolve with the owners of the land.”
The
application is accompanied by a new 134 page report. This says that
the pond is 6000 square metres in area, of unknown depth, and 2.5
metres above the majority of the site. Its conclusions include 11
recommendations for further work, including drilling to check for
contaminants and the stability of the embankment.]

Our objection was uploaded to

The SCC rejected the original application, which involved the
demolition of the block of shops including the pet shop, Estate
agent’s, and Cerrones, and replacement by a 545m2 to 822m2
building containing 12 apartments.]

material concern, but acknowledged the need for security. Other
conditions include i) parking
