Councillor Update 31st January 2014

Hi everyone

We have had success with Dorset Local Nature Partnership Boards they said they can prob send a surveyor to have a look at the site and write a report, map being sent to them tonight.

Spoke to Planning Agents for Business Park and they are meeting their clients next week to take instruction and will be fighting this robustly, they have kindly agreed to assist the community with info re strong planning conditions and legal issuesas to why it can be stopped.

Our petition man Shaun has delivered 80 letterssingle handed today to businesses in the locale advising them of the meeting date at Creekmoor and inviting them to join us, he will do another 50 tomorrow and  doing a great job of collecting signatures as he goes.

Terry has had a stonker of a letter in the Echo, well done Terry, please everyone feel free to write into the Echo  with your thoughts, this will keep the debate fresh in the minds of the public, we don’t want them forgetting about us and our plight. Terry  is also making good progress with Natural England.

Marc is steaming ahead with the RSBP and is sending maps to hopefully alert them to the very close proximity to the harbour and get them to visit the site and hopefully give a report.

We have contacted CEPRE, the President already saying he objects to the TSP on the site so we are asking for objections in writing and supporting evidence to be submitted to the planning dept.

The Police Crime Commissioner, a Snr Police officer and your MP have all agreed to attend the meeting on the 1^st March to advise re their particular responsibilities, we have invited our PCSO SNT lead and await his reply he may be on an off day today.

We are going to meet with two reps from the Gypsy Council and visit the site together, if as we hope they will not use the site that will be a very strong argument for us and we will ask them to write into the planning dept stating this.

Anyway as Cllrs we rec’d notification of planning application  today APP/14/00123/F Land at Safety Drive Poole Dorset, we did not receive the other notification as it is not directly in our Ward, Oakdale Ward colleagues will have rec’d this.

We have until Feb21st to get objection letters in etc, it’s not on the web yet but should be there by next Tuesday latest, so we all need to get objection letters in, we will send planning reasons to everyone as soon as they are clearly ascertained and a standard letter format to assist if folk wish to use it.

Thanks to everyone thus far who has offered to deliver information leaflets in their roads, the first drop will be to advise everyone that the planning application is now submitted and for everyone to send in their objections, to advise of our residents meeting of the 1^st March and 15 March and speakers etc, and ask for more deliverers and petition gatherers as we are now looking to raise a 100 plus petition for full Council for 25^th Feb, If we get more that 100 but less that 750 that means yr ward Cllrs can speak to the petition at the Council meeting, another bite at the cherry that petition will then go to the planning committee and join Shaun’s businesses petition, this covers all angles. This again will be a night where public attendance will show the strength of feeling!

So if you feel you can pop around to your neighbours in yr road and get a petitions signed, we can send to you to print off a sheet or too or we can deliver sheets to you that would be brilliant and adds more strength to our community case.

Hope that everything for tonight, keep sending in your suggestions, we have a little team working on an e-petitions which is great, and other coming up with great suggestions which we are noting and hope to effect.

We have all three come down  wretched lurgy so I am off for an earlyish night, hope you are all keeping well
