Notification of Appeal

Application No. P15/S0459/FUL for rear of 1 & 2 Moats Crescent – Erection of 2 x 2-bed chalet bungalows (re-submission of previously refused application P14/S2609/FUL)
Thame Town Council’s Recommendation: Refusal

To note that the above mentioned Appeal has been made against the District Council’s decision to refuse the above planning application.

Should the Town Council wish to make any comments at this stage, or withdraw, modify or add to any earlier comments the Town Council might have made, or request a copy of the decision letter, the Town Council should write to the Planning Inspectorate by Wednesday 6 January 2016.

To consider the next steps.

To note the correspondence received regarding the recent accidents at the Tythrop Way / Kingsey Road roundabout and to consider the next steps.

To note the submission made to the District Council following the site visit in order to meet the deadline of 17 December 2015.

Following a formal request that the Town Council be consulted before the naming of building conversions such as Charter House, Wellington Street the following response was received from the District Street Naming and Numbering Department.

“The District Council has no jurisdiction over building names but can only guide developers towards choosing the name the Council would prefer.  There is no legal or constitutional mechanism for dealing with disputed building names, so the Council would have to agree to what the developer wanted if they were opposed to the Council’s suggestion.

The Town Council would need to consider a building name at the time of the planning consultation, so that a name was ready for when the District is approached by the developer for addresses to meet the required deadline.”

The Town Clerk proposes that we follow this practice from now on, and notes that the same principle could be applied to site names.
