USG Meeting - 19h15 Thursday 11 February 2010

The next meeting of the Urban Space Group will be held in the Cavalier Suite of the Royal Hotel on Thursday 11 February 2010 and will start at 19h15.

Agenda

1. Station Area Redevelopment Consultation

We have been contacted by SNAP Architects to say that they are still open to consider feedback on the three options presented for the redevelopment of the Station area as part of the ongoing consultation process. So if for whatever reason you were unable to reply earlier, or you have any new thoughts, now is your chance, but they must be submitted by the end of next week at the absolute latest.

Details of the consultation process, including details of the three options and an official downloadable response form, can be found at:

SBC - Station Area Redevelopment Options

2. Charging for Pre-Application Planning Advice

The Planning and Development Committee are to seek comment from interested parties on the possibility of charging clients for certain types of pre-application advice.

This item will be discussed as part of our thread on Raising Design Standards.

Details of the Council's proposal can be found under Item 12 of last week's Planning & Development Committee meeting:

SBC - Charges for Planning Advice

3. Local Development Framework and Housing Allocation

The main item on the agenda will be a continuation of last month's round-table discussion on the Local Development Framework, housing allocations and the future of Scarborough, particularly in light of the Planning Committee's narrow 6-5 vote in favour of approving the outline planning application for High Mill Farm, Scalby. This is particularly important, as it was stated at the Planning meeting that there would be a Community Design Stage, and the USG need to agree whether we think we should be involved or what other comment / action is appropriate.

Further details of the Local Development Framework can be found at:

SBC - Local Development Framework Planning Consultation
