PLANNING:

-Bawdeswell Stores, The Street – change of use of 4 bedroom house to 3 No.1 bed houses, replace derelict sheds with extension to retail.   Mr. Andrew Farquarson of Martin McColls Ltd. attended the meeting to answer any questions.   It came across quite forcibly from some of the Parishioners present that there were many objections/concerns relating to the traffic in The Street, shop deliveries, loading and unloading of lorries in the vicinity and cars being parked along the Old Reepham Road.  Three new parking spaces have been made available for houses plus 2/3 for the new Manager and assistants at the back of the shop.  Mr. Farquarson promised to let us know exactly how many new parking spaces can be included plus Highways comments.  

-Folland Court – PP was refused in December for demolition of sheltered housing and construction of 8 dwellings for rental and erection of PO.   Laura Handford (Flagship Housing Business Development Manager) and Peter Wells PW architect attended the meeting to find out how Parishioners would like to see site developed.  Parishioners would like more bungalows for the older people in the village but  this might not be cost effective or viable .  PW are to improve the pathway through the site.
