Lymore Gardens/Claude Vale Planning Application

I am pleased to confirm that following my lobbying of Local Councillor Paul Crossley, he put forward a motion to the Development Control committee to refuse the planning application for the building of 8 flats on land by Lymore Gardens and Claude Vale.

After talking with local residents, I agreed that this application would cause an increased strain on the already difficult parking situation in Lymore Gardens and would also create additional traffic trying to pull out onto Lymore Avenue at an awkward Junction.  These were just a couple of reasons I requested refusal of the application should be considered.

This motion was accepted at the meeting on 16th December, with 7 voting for, 1 against and 2 abstentions.  

This application could be subject to an appeal, however, we will keep you informed of the outcome of this.

Local Green space protection

Local Liberal Democrats Councillor Sharon Ball & Campaigner Sarah Moore have taken steps to ensure the safety of our Local parks and open Spaces in the emerging Bath & North East Somerset Placemaking plan.

We have requested that the whole of Brickfields, LymoreGardens play area (including the green space adjoining it) and Dorset Street play area (and green space adjoining it) are protected from any future developments.

Councillor Sharon Ball said: "The Emerging Placemaking plan gives us the opportunity to ensure that open space and parks that provide recreation or act as a green lung in our area are protected for future generations".

Please let us know if there are any other areas in the ward that you feel we have missed  and that should be protected.
