On the Agenda Items

(2)   South Yorkshire Police - Sheffield North East have a Twitter Account at twitter.com/SheffNE_LPT, and a Facebook account at www.facebook.com/SheffieldNELPT . Their current priorities for Ecclesfield are “Antisocial behaviour and Night time economy”. Also, if anybody want to contact them, our local TARA list anti-social behaviour in their “Sheffield directory” mission statement.

 

(5)   I could not find much information on it, but there is a new flood-prevention website.

Also, the river level monitoring outside Morrisons on The Common seems to be working again, and can be seen at flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/station/9035 . They say that the highest level recorded was 2.29 metres (and therefore well over my head) !!

 

(6)  Our insurance has been renewed. Details can be seen by Googling for Ecclesfield Conservation, clicking on the first link, scrolling down (a long way), and clicking on the Insurance link.

 

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.

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

Information watch

•  Nether Lane, Ecclesfield has been put on the map by the firm that lifted off and replaced the Railway Bridge www.ale-heavylift.com/case-study/nether-lane-bridge-replacement-uk/  
  
    
• The government is consulting on increasing the penalties local authorities can charge for littering offences from the current maximum of £80. See https://consult.defra.gov.uk/environment/litter-penalties/consultation/

 

 

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 needs quite a bit of work to get going - perhaps as a window to our physical archive.

 

*     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.

 

*      We are still encouraging Sheffield City Council to proceed with their project to get their alcohol licensing system on-line so that everybody can see the opening times etc. which apply to each of the premises in the area. We are continuing to check their manual list of licence applications, but our monthly meetings and downloads miss some of them.

 

 

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 39^th March to 21^st  May 2017.

[Some of the applications have underlined links in which case you should be able to click on them to see the [Details] and for the plans etc, the [Documents] tab. For applications without links, just click on any of the links, then “Search > Planning > Simple Search”, and enter the “Ref. No” for the application you are interested in.
The contents of brackets and italics are my interpretation - usually made after only briefly scanning the documents]
