2 06131 OPEN FORUM
2,1 Hurley parking Cllr Burfitt presented a Survey of Traffic Parking in Hurley. Of 220 copies distributed, 93 were completed and returned, that is 43%. Of those surveyed, 91 thought there was a parking problem. Shepherds Close had 80 copies distributed to houses and many may not have wanted to respond. Copies circulated and provided to the Clerk.
The main problem area identified by 80s% is up the High Street to the Rising Sun. Two thirds do not want double yellow lines. Restrictions are required Saturday/Sunday in the summer.
Mr Ramsay reported parking was better than that bad Sunday in the hot weather. Mr Ramsay had been putting 15 cones out on Sundays, they seemed to work and he still has the15 cones. Various other residents are putting cones out and they seem to be helping. Cllr Burfitt noted that this was with less parking. That Screwfix sells 'no parking' cones for £9 each.
Cllr Jarvis asked how many cones would be needed to cover areas in Hurley including Mill Lane. Mr Ramsay estimated 60 cones would be required. Cllr Burfitt suggested if cones are used but it is found that they cause problems parking in side roads, then parking restrictions can be adjusted, unlike other systems.
Cllr Iles produced (i) a large scale map of the village with proposed doubled yellow lines marked, for interest. And, (ii) single yellow lines it should be noted have to have signage of which a copy was produced. These signs have to be put at the beginning and end of each yellow line. As areas of parking to be allowed are patches of roadway, there will be signs all over the village on walls or against walls or on 2.1m high poles.
Cllr Burfitt confirmed that signs are not required for double yellow lines. The Survey produced the view that no yellow lines should be round the Village Green. But it also showed 10 or 12 stated Lovelace Close had a parking problem whereas Lovelace Close residents stated they did not have a parking problem, which of course was an anomaly.
Cllr Jarvis on cones, asked if there were enough people to put them out appropriately. Mr Ramsay said as it is for a limited time, this could be arranged.
Cllr Hill was concerned about Police not enforcing obstructive parking and suggested that a sign indicating "parking limited" be put at the entrance of the village. On discussion, this signage was not considered favourably at this time.
The decision on yellow lines is going to be monitored. Cllr Iles said Police do not see enforcing parking as a priority. A resident suggested ordering yellow lines as it will take two years to implement and cancel them if the cones are found to be satisfactory but on discussion this was shown not to be possible as once commenced, the process cannot be cancelled.
Temple Ferry Place Mr W Burgess and his wife attended the meeting with Mr John Price their Architect. Mr Burgess stated there were three example precedents of 9000 sq ft, 11,000 sq ft, as well as, Studio Cottage round the corner which was a 3 bed bungalow and is now a five bed roomed house. The proposed new house is slightly larger and in 5.5 acres. There are computer enhanced photographs of the proposed house which show that it is not intrusive. Letters of support were provided for the Councillors attention.
Cllr Burfitt enquired as to the increase in floor area. The Architect Mr Price stated the total area existing approximately 216 sq m and proposed 382 sq m. The Footprint existing 110 sq m proposed 191 sq m. The ridge height would be 5ft 1.5m above existing ie 7125 or 22/3 ft high. The design took the area into account. Cllr Burfitt noted the house is above the lay of the land and the ground floor is 4ft above the mean ground level.
The Old Boathouse. The new boundary wall built should have free passage for water and it does not. The second wall is now 1ft above the ground and on discussion with the builder it does not have plans for flood water passage. Cllr Iles suggested the wall may be a reserved matter. It obviously should be built with holes for free passage of water as it is in the flood plain. Cllr Iles offered to check this. Cllr Burfitt checked the planning decision and there were no reserved matters noted also that the garage walls should be in the flood plan, Cllr Sparrow endorsed the walls should have changes to the plan to allow flooding to pass through walls. The Clerk was requested to contact RBWM Planning as a matter of urgency.
The Chairman thanked the public for attending and closed Open Forum: 8.20 pm.
3 06132 DECLARATION OF INTEREST Cllr Burfitt declared a personal interest in 50m of boundary with Mr Burgess in Temple Ferry Place. Cllr Jarvis declared a personal interest, non pecuniary, as a Trustee of Gilchrist Thomas Hall and attached house and Feens Barn.
A Change of Order was proposed and AGREED (Unan) to commence with Temple Ferry Place, due to persons interested being present at the meeting and continuing with Hurley Village - Parking before returning to the order of the Agenda.
06/01873 Temple Ferry Place Mill Lane Hurley - construction of a replacement three bedroom dwelling. Cllr Burfitt and Sparrow attended the Site Visit viewing the property from the lane as suggested by the Architect. Notes from previous Minutes on decisions attached to planning report.
Cllr Sparrow commented that previous planning applications had been dismissed on the basis of overdevelopment in the Green Belt. The design is a very good design for height/shape and structure but it is a substantial increase in size. The precedents provided were in the village but not in the green belt. Cllr Jarvis stated the expansion against the size of the original building was large but the design is better than the existing house.
Cllr Burfitt suggested to go to first principles; that is the size precedent as it is considerably larger than the existing house and is against GB3. Cllr Jarvis stated it is 80% larger than plans which have not been allowed; which was agreed by Cllr Pratt. The Architect read out part of the planning report from R A Newell, page 4.
The design is better than before but due to the size of the property, it was proposed by Cllr Burfitt and seconded by Cllr Jarvis (3 in favour, 2 against) then resolved to OBJECT to the application referring to GB3/4.
Hurley Parish - Parking Cllr Burfitt requested and it was AGREED that Cllr Iles and Mr Ramsay join the Council meeting for this item. Cllr Pratt suggested using 'no parking' cones.
Cllr Jarvis: on the use of cones, £600 would be required for cones. Cllr Burfitt suggested that the HPC could find part of the cost, which was then seconded by Cllr Jarvis then resolved and AGREED (Unan). The HVA, Mr Ramsay stated will also try to fund part of the cost. It was suggested that 100 cones be acquired and Cllr Iles will ask if the Borough will fund and may be able to negotiate a decrease in price.
When the cones are used Cllr Pratt commented the cars may be pushed into Shepherds Close. Cllr Burfitt commented there may not be another Sunday of hot weather and too many visitors for the next four years. Cllr Sparrow suggested that using cones may cause the parking congestion problems to disappear over time as restricted and problems with parking would be a deterrent and decrease the number of visitors repeating their visits over a period of time.
Cllr Jarvis asked if there were any storage problems of cones but these will be kept by various residents. It was suggested that the committee on parking return to the next HPC with any thoughts including yellow lines round the village green.
On request to speak by the Council, a Resident stated he thought there are two problems (a) of the mass of parking, and (b) in Mill Lane, a single lane track where services are unable to pass parked cars and this is not just on a Sunday as parking obstructions are on-going. Cllr Pratt commented if this is obstruction by the same cars, a case for the police can be built up.
