Agenda

1. Proposed New Sports Facility - University of Hull - Scarborough Campus

The first item on the agenda will be an update from the architect responsible for the proposed development of a new sports facility for Scarborough's University Campus on Filey Road. This facility will comprise of a sports hall, fitness suite, studio, seminar rooms, and various supporting changing and social spaces.

Following their earlier presentation to our meeting back in October, the team now have some revised designs available for consideration and would like to talk again to Urban Space as part of their public consultation.

Everyone is encouraged to attend to comment and lend their support. The full application is yet to be submitted, and so this is an opportunity to make a constructive contribution to the process before the proposal is finalised.

Paper copies of the plans will be available for inspection at the meeting.

2. 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 the second part of our two month consideration of this proposal.

At our previous meeting in December: we noted our concern regarding the manner in which the application had been handled; the utilisation of the site; and the density and design quality of the holiday homes.

This meeting will further expand and refine our commentary for submission, and will form the basis of a presentation to Town Team later in the month.
