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.


Information watch


Outstanding interests

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.

* Fortunately, when I checked, there were no planning applications for the old co-op building, and our High Street is surviving. The new shop in the building is even advertising. You can see what they do on page 5 of http://www.looklocal.org.uk/read-online/. Nevertheless we are still trying looking for ways of get the SCC to answer our list of questions about the survival of our High Street, and hoping that the Parish Council will produce a local plan including provision for High Streets.

* The last meeting of the Ecclesfield and Chapeltown Anti-Fracking Group could not be sure that the white MAN tanker I saw in Ecclesfield was from a fracking site. We are therefore continuing to liaise with the Group to find out whether fracking waste is coming to Ecclesfield.

* It is a bit early yet, but following our submission to it, we are expecting the Government to publish the results of their Consultation on Protecting and Enhancing England's Trees and make a decision.

*  We have a baseline figure for the radioactivity in
Blackburn brook, ready to check for any increase, whether due to fracking or any other discharges. However, it occurred to me recently that if anybody can suggest a suitable access point, a measurement upstream of FCC environmental might also be useful.

* I have been experimenting with, but am still not happy with the more secure
website at https://ecclesfieldgroups.co.uk/ If anybody has any comments on doing something similar with, or any other aspects of our website, just let me know.

*  Designs for the horizontal
banner is still in progress – see the agenda above for the flag banner.

*  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 licenses 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 and appeals were found by searching for Ward = “East Ecclesfield”, Parish = Ecclesfield Parish Council”, postcodes S35 9?? and S35 1TE, validated from 22nd May 2019 to 24th June 2019. [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]

Still pending

Decided

The next SCC Planning Committee meeting does not list any “Ecclesfield” applications, but anybody concerned about the following meeting which is on 14th May might be able to check when the agenda is published nearer the time at democracy.sheffield.gov.uk/ieListMeetings.aspx?CommitteeId=373 .
