EXPECT AN APPLICATION SOON !!!

I have been informed that a planning application could appear very shortly.

I am delighted that we did the survey with the Community Council as I feel certain this will help address the issue of need.

In addition the clear message from everyone that has commented on the site with regards highways is that the site will be most unsuitable.

This aside I am still expecting an application shortly.

Community Survey

The Parish Council have sent a survey to all households in Trull and Staplehay which I assited in distributing.

We will get the results at the Parish Council meeting in December from the Community Council.

There has been no news recently...not that I take any confort from that.

A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME!!

These pictures were sent by a local resident.

This traffic jam occurred last Saturday when Police temporarily closed Trull Rd due to an accident. People tried to cut through on Comeytrowe road and the road was in total chaos. It gives a clear example of what Comeytrowe road could be like if the development went ahead. The road obviously can't cope with any increase in traffic volume and I think it serves to justify that peoples concerns about the proposal are very legitimate.

HIGHWAYS

Comeytrowe Road is completely unsuitable for a development such as this. I have been inundated with emails, letters and phone calls and everyone has commented on the lunacy of allowing a development of 80 houses creating 120 plus cars at probably 500 traffic movements per day.

I urge anone reading this to write to the Highways authority at County Hall and clearly state the case to them why increasing traffic on this road is so wrong.

Housing Survey

I have met with Don Archer and discussed the survey and the logistics. Don is meeting with the community Council to discuss the format of questions. I suggested that maybe we work with Comeytrowe he is going to discuss with them. It is certainly better if we can work as one but I don't want this to hold up the process.

I am meeting with Don Archer shortly to discuss the housing survey that we are planning in the coming weeks. This should certainly highlight the actual need in the Parish which will greatly help if and when an application comnes forward.

My main suggestion at present would be to write to the Highways Autority at Somerset County Council this is certainly central to all objections I have received to date.
