P193/14 Public Question Time: Mr Scoot and Mr Pascoe gave a short presentation with regards to Planning Application PA14/03927 relating to the development of the land North West of Trevithick Manor between A392 and Trevemper Road. - Cllr Miss Kenny Q1. Have Highways been consulted? Yes. There will be a proposed new mini roundabout to cater for increased traffic flow. - Cllr Mrs Crocker Q2. Will this affect the 'green belt' coming into Newquay? We have investigated the topography of the land and it is suitable for the development. The topography lends itself to Apartments near to the road at a distance of roughly 4 metres from the pavement. The location of the roundabout is the same as the Restormal Borough Council plans however there is nothing to suggest the area is to be maintained as a 'green belt'. - Cllr Edwards Q3. Will these houses be affordable? Yes 30% will be affordable. - Cllr Fitter Q4. Have you been consulting with the neighbouring developments such as Kingsley Village? - Member of the Public 2: Mr Pascoe Yes we have consulted with them and believe we can do our scheme without prejudicing theirs. - Cllr Rainbow Q5. Have you been taken into account the Wych Hazel Way development? - Member of the Public 2: Mr Pascoe Yes we have.
- Cllr Sleeman Q6. Have you any areas for recreational use? - Member of the Public 2: Mr Pascoe Yes we have 4-5 areas allocated for recreational play. Cllr Miss Kenny Q7. Have long do you propose this development will take? The hope is to begin reserved matters in December 2014.
