219                        WEST ROW (Min 187 - 29.01.13)

 

                        The Town Clerk submitted an email dated 15 February 2013 from                                     Simon Gledhill, Parking Services Manager, Dorset County Council, a                         copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which                         appears as Appendix A to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

 

                        In the email, the County Council rejected the Town Council's request                         that, pending a review of the traffic management arrangements in that                         area, the enforcement action against contraventions of the Pedestrian                         Zone Regulations in part of West Row be suspended.

 

                        The Committee had been advised by the local County Councillor that                         the review could take as long as 18 months to begin and any change                         would be the subject of public consultation.  Members thought this was                         an unreasonable length of time to wait.

 

                        RESOLVED that the County Council be requested to bring                                     forward the review of the traffic management arrangements in this                         area once the access arrangements for Small's site have been                                     finalised.

 

220                        COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY

 

                        The Town Clerk submitted for information a briefing paper on the                                     affects of this levy on Parish and Town Councils, a copy of which had

                        been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as                                     Appendix B to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

 

221            COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY CONSULTATION

 

                        The Committee considered a letter dated 24 January 2013 from the                         Head of Community and Economy, Christchurch and East Dorset                                     Councils together with the preliminary draft charging schedules for                         Christchurch and East Dorset, copies of which had been circulated to                         each Member and copies of which appear as Appendix C to these                                     Minutes in the Minute Book.

 

                        The Town Clerk explained that the letter had been received too late to                         be considered at the last meeting on 29 January 2013 and the closing                         date for responses was the day before this meeting.  The District                                     Council would not extend the date for responses so the Chairman had                         produced a response on the Committee's behalf within the consultation                         period, a copy of which was circulated to each Member at the meeting                         and a copy of which appears as Appendix D to these Minutes.

 

                        RESOLVED that the response submitted by the Chairman be                                     approved.

           

222                                    JULIAN'S BRIDGE - MASONRY AND RIVER WORKS

 

                        The Town Clerk submitted for information an email dated 14 February                         2013 from the Project Engineer responsible for these works in response                         to the Town Clerk's enquiry of 12 February 2013, copies of which had                         been circulated to each Member and copies of which appear as                                     Appendix E to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

 

                                    The Town Clerk had asked for full and early consultation on the                                     proposed traffic management plans in order to minimise disruption to                         businesses and tourist attractions.

 

                                    In the email the engineer responsible for the project had confirmed             that                         disruption would be minimal as the work was being undertaken in the                         riverbed off the carriageway.

 

223                        PLANNING DECISIONS

 

                        The Town Clerk submitted for information a schedule of planning                                     decisions made by East Dorset District Council, a copy of which had                         been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as                                     Appendix F to these Minutes in the Minute Book.
