Latest news.
Objection letters should reach Darren Hendley if possible by May 23rd. However he will continue to accept representations up to the date of the Planning Committee meeting.
This is likely to be Tuesday June 27th although this will only be confirmed 5 days before and it is possible that the meeting could be delayed intil July. There is likely to be a site meeting some days before and we hope that you will be able to come along to this (and the main meeting) to show your support!
There is to be a presentation to the Planning Committee Councillors on Wed May 24th at the Guildhall at 3.30 pm. Members of the public may attend but only as observers – they may not speak. Fulford Friends have argued that such a presentation to members is undemocratic when objectors have 5 minutes at the most to put their case, but we are informed that this pre-meeting will be purely to explain the complicated issues in the application and “lobbying” of Councillors will not take place. We maintain our opposition however.
We will continue to keep you informed.

The proposal is reccommended for refusal on grounds that the bowling green is not of sufficient quality.
The committee meeting commences at 4.30pm with Connaught Court being 5th on agenda. The site meeting starts at 1.20 at the entrance to Connaught Court. Please come along if you are able.

It seems that the council is allowing the RMBI to revise their plans once again and there will be further re-consultation with residents before the application can be determined. Will it be June? Who knows? The problems of the bowling green have been obvious from the very beginning and it is outragous that the council did not advise the developers before now that the green is unfeasible in its present location.

There is a continuing problem with the council’s website which will not allow objections to this application to be made online.
CoYC are aware of this assured us some time ago that they will try to rectify the fault. Lucky we are so patient!

The deadline for objections is April 18th and it is advisable to write as soon as possible, but it is still worth objecting even if you miss this date because all representations will continue to be accepted right up to the Committee meeting – probably 31st May with site meeting on 30th.

All our previous objections to this development remain and the latest revisions do not begin to address the major problems.
We are reliably informed that the earliest date for the Committee to decide on the scheme will be in May – possibly the 17th.

Some of these have not yet been advised to residents by CoYC.
