However, in accordance with the decision made at last month’s meeting, we have registered the Group’s objection to the planning application by the Players Lounge, so members would be interested in any information anybody has regarding what has happened to this and to last week’s licensing review.

New Planning Applications

Retention of fencing and gate to front of dwellinghouse

80 Mill Road Sheffield S35 9XQ

Ref. No: 13/00827/FUL | Received: Tue 12 Mar 2013 | Validated: Mon 18 Mar 2013 | Status: Pending Consideration

[This is one of the Mill Road prefabs. The fence fronts on to Mill Road and is approximately 1.5 meter high] 

Previous Planning Applications still pending

 Finalisation of HS2 Phase2 route is now hoped to be complete by the end of next year

 

Application to extend the planning permission for 5 years (Application under Section 73 to vary condition 1 (temporary time limit) as imposed by planning permission 08/00397/FUL) - Siting of temporary portacabin for use as Stand By point for ambulance

Swimming Baths Burncross Road Sheffield S35 1RX

Ref. No: 13/00810/FUL | Received: Thu 07 Mar 2013 | Validated: Thu 07 Mar 2013 | Status: Pending Consideration

[This application describes a portacabin 7.2 metres long by 3 metres wide to be placed on the Chapeltown side of the baths, in order, to enable a single  ambulance or major incident vehicle” to be parked outside and serviced. Two reasons are given. 1) To improve response times in light of the new target of meeting 80% of “red” 999 calls within 8 minutes  2) “… to reduce the risk of cross-infection through removing dirty vehicles immediately from the hospital site.”

The design and access statement further explains “The current practice of ambulance cleaning immediately outside the District Hospital A&E unit is being dissuaded as these practices in this type of location are not helping the NHS to reduce the risk of cross-infection and in particular driving down the risk of MRSA.”

Our last meeting decided to comment on this objection, and these comments can be seen at http://publicaccess.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=neighbourComments&keyVal=MJLGQPNY09700 ]

 

Application to approve details in relation to condition numbers 16. Surface water drainage works, 17. Gas protection measures, and 20. BREEAM rating

Land East Of The Railway South Of Smithy Wood Drive Sheffield S35 1QN

Ref. No: 13/00701/COND | Received: Fri 01 Mar 2013 | Validated: Fri 01 Mar 2013 | Status: Pending Consideration

[Seeks approval for some sort of gas protection membrane, for a parcel distribution facility]

 

Erection of a dwellinghouse - resubmission of planning application 12/01322/FUL

Land Adjacent 32 Mellor Lea Farm Dive And At Rear Of 40 Mellor Lea Farm Drive Johnson Lane Ecclesfield Sheffield S35 9XG

Ref. No: 13/00673/FUL | Received: Fri 01 Mar 2013 | Validated: Thu 14 Mar 2013 | Status: Pending Consideration

[The plan shows this to be a new detached, three bedroom house, with two floors and a loft windows, fronting directly on to Jonson Lane. The proposed house looks very close to the 2/3 story flats to its left, perhaps in order to make room for the lawn and retention of a large tree to the right. An existing, low level dry stone wall on the right would be replaced by a new fence, but this is towards the back of the house, and I don’t think it would be visible from Johnson Lane.

 

Submission of 12/01946/FUL condition details. Condition nos. 3) details of plant; 8) soil storage method statement; 12) foul and surface water; 13) treatment and removal of suspended soils; 14) surface water; 16) ponds; 26) ground investigation; 31) wheel washing; 34) HGV route

(I make this 140 parts per million, just over a 10th of a gram in per kilogramme of material, but don’t know how significant this is)]

 Use of building for Class A4 (Drinking Establishments) purposes

[This is for a change of use from D2 (Club) to A4 (drinking establishment). The club seems to have deteriorated recently, with the Police having attended late in the night on the last two weekends. On the first occasion the Police had to endure being shouted at, and the second time, they had to isolate the club by roping Yew Lane off. Note that the club have also made an application for an extension of hours to 1:30 on weekend mornings, as indicated in a note to the minutes of the last meeting.

Our last meeting decided to object, and this objection can be seen at http://publicaccess.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=neighbourComments&keyVal=MIIF31NY09I00 ]
