240331 Barns at, Hall Road, West Bergholt

Application for approval of details reserved by conditions 3,5,7, 13,14,15 (213344).

Comment: West Bergholt Planning Committee defers to the expertise of Colchester City Council Planning department on all conditions of this application but would note that the Construction Management Plan has taken no account of plant vehicles manoeuvring in an area known for its notable off-road parking by people visiting Hillhouse Woods, or St Mary’s Old Church, and it neither mentions nor proposes the use of a banksman. Also, it makes no reference to the increased risk to other road users by construction vehicles using what is in the main a single-track road with no passing places, it does not propose any construction vehicle control measures.

Decision: N/A

None
