USG Meeting - 19h15 Thursday 17 November 2011

The next meeting of the Urban Space Group will be held in the Cavalier Suite of the Royal Hotel on Thursday 17 November 2011 and will start at 19h15.

Please note that this month's meeting is taking place a week later than usual.

Agenda

1. Scarborough's Proposed Superstore Developments

Following the late availability of the Independent Retail Assessment Report and the County Council's Highways Report, as well as some minor amendments to both Tesco and Sainsbury's applications, this Thursday's main agenda item will now focus on the store proposals.

Please note, that as the closing date for the consultation process is now Tuesday 29 November 2011, this will be our last and final opportunity as a Group, to comment on two of the most difficult and significant retail proposals to be brought before the town for some years.

Further details of the Tesco application can be viewed at:

SBC: 11/00019/FL- Tesco - Dean Road - Scarborough

Further details of the Sainsbury's application can be viewed at:

SBC: 10/02538/FL - Sainsbury's - Falsgrave Road - Scarborough

Time permitting:

2. 11/01914/OL - Middle Deepdale - Eastfield - Scarborough

An opportunity for members of the Group who may wish to comment on the outline application for 1,350 new dwellings and other associated developments within the area known as Middle Deepdale.

Given the scale of the application, it is recommended that we restrict our review to the detail contained within the Design & Access Statement. Although, other issues can be taken into consideration if you feel they are relevant.

Further details can be found at:

SBC: 11/01914/OL - Middle Deepdale - Eastfield - Scarborough

3. 11/01368/FL - Salisbury Arcade - Huntriss Row - Scarborough

Update on our recent response to this application.

Further details can be found at:

SBC: 11/01368/FL - Salisbury Arcade - Huntriss Row - Scarborough

4. 11/02181/FL - Moorlands Hotel - North Promenade - Whitby

Although strictly speaking a Whitby proposal, you may wish to spend a little time looking at this application to demolish the Moorlands Hotel on North Parade, and replace it with twelve homes.

The Design & Access Statement is quite detailed and worth a view. Particularly, as we have recently expressed concern regarding the quality of such reports submitted as part of the planning process.

Your comments would be welcome.

5. Londesborough Lodge

A brief update on the establishment of an independent Steering Group to consider the future of this potentially important public asset.

6. Any other business

The meeting is scheduled to finish by 20h45 at the latest.

Other Notes:

1. 11/01844/FL - The Sands - Burniston Road - Scarborough

The full application concerning the continued development of The Sands can now be found on the Council's planning portal. The proposal covers all aspects of the site, including holiday lodges and homes, family restaurant, water park, parking, and landscaping.

This item will be covered over our next two meetings.
