These have all been considered by the Chairman and Secretary and it has not been found necessary to make representations on any of them.
CorrespondenceOn 6th March 91 a letter was sent to the District Council drawing attention to a number of Estate Agents boards erected in various parts of the Town stating "Now Open" followed by the Agents name. In our opinion this constituted an advertisement for the Agents business which should be the subject of a planning Application.
A reply was received dated 22nd March 91 stating that the Agent concerned had been advised that the "Now Open" boards fall outside the scope of the Advertisement Regulations, and in consequence do not enjoy a deemed consent. Most or all of the offending boards have now been removed.
A letter dated 11th March 91 from the DC informed us that the Application for takeaway facilities at 30 High Street, to which we had objected, had been granted permission.
A letter dated 4th April 91 from the DC referred to the proposed development at the Falcon PH Benton Street on which we had made certain comments. Revised drawings had been submitted and these had now been granted permission.
Meeting to consider Community Facilities in Hadleigh
This was a well attended meeting of interested parties including Graham Panton who attended as Chairman of the Hadleigh Society.
In conclusion the Town Mayor summarised the discussions and indicated the ways forward which had been discussed. Mr. E. Taylor (SCC Education Department) said that since the non-acceptance of their plans to move to the Hadleigh High School the County Council were looking for a way forward. He indicated that he was prepared to recommend to the County Council that they accept an extension of the Lease of East House for a period of a few years. He confirmed that the County Council would wish to fulfil their obligations and would bear in mind the need of the user groups expressed at this meeting. The possibility of a purpose built structure for playgroup and similar use on County Council land close to St. Marys School was also considered.
It was agreed to recommend to the Town Council that they monitor the position following the receipt of Mr. Taylors report to the County Council and call a further meeting of this kind at an appropriate time.
