Telford and Wrekin Council has received notice of an appeal which has been made by Morrisons to the Secretary of State, against the Council’s decision to refuse planning permission for the erection of an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera.
Residents will recall that Telford and Wrekin Council, the Parish Council and over 1000 residents objected to Morrisons proposals due to:
The Parish Council would encourage residents to comment on the appeal as the proposals would prevent Parkes’ Court residents, volunteers in the Charity Shops, and staff from the retail units, the Medical Centre, Lawley Dentist and the Extra Care Centre from parking on the car park, as they have done since the Square and Morrisons was built. They will inevitably have to park on local residential roads, causing issues for local residents and making it even more difficult for vehicles, including the local bus service, to travel around the area.
The appeal is to be considered solely on the basis of written statements and will be determined by a planning inspector who has been appointed by the Secretary of State to review the evidence.
If you wish to make comments on the appeal, you can do so online at https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk or by emailing NSI.planning2@planninginspectorate.gov.uk. Alternatively, you can send 3 copies to The Planning Inspectorate, 3G Hawk Wing, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Bristol, BS1 6PN.
All comments must be recieved by 20/05/2019. In all cases please quote the case reference APP/C3240/W/19/3223822.
The planning Inspectorate will not acknowledge representations and any received after this date will not usually be considered by the Inspector and will be returned.
A guide to taking part in planning appeals is available from the gov.uk website at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/taking-part-in-a-planning-listed-building-or-enforcement-appeal.
The appeal documents can be viewed on the planning online system at https://secure.telford.gov.uk/planning/home.aspx using reference number TWC/2018/0714. The appeal decision letter will be published on the Council’s planning online system and on GOV.UK.
LAWLEY COMMUNITY CAR PARK – PARISH COUNCIL STATEMENT
Residents will recall that in November 2018 Telford & Wrekin Council refused Morrison’s application to limit the parking on the community car park
Their decision was due to the impact that the proposals would have on the retailers in Lawley Square and specifically:
We have now been informed that Morrisons have lodged an appeal with the National Planning Inspectorate to overturn this decision, and at the same time have submitted an application to Telford & Wrekin Council to put up signage referring to the ANPR cameras that have previously been refused
Since the development was first planned and given planning permission in 2004 the car park has been designated as the car park for the use of the wider community
The Design and Access statement for the whole Lawley development refers to this as the designated car park for all of the retail units in the Square aswell as the residents who live in Parkes Court
Retail units in the Square and Parkes Court residents have parking facilities on this car park written into their leases.
Every subsequent planning application in the Lawley Square area approved by Telford & Wrekin Council has referred to the “unrestricted parking on the adjacent community car park” as a justification for not having to provide further parking in the area.
Telford & Wrekin Highways signs are prominently displayed on local roads directing visitors to Lawley Square to park on the community car park.
Until Morrisons planning application last year there has never been any issue with the car parking arrangements set out in the original Lawley plans.
Morrisons propose to limit parking to 2 or 3 hours and enforce this via ANPR cameras.
This would prevent Parkes’ Court residents, volunteers in the Charity Shops, and staff from the retail units, the Medical Centre, Lawley Dentist and the Extra Care Centre from parking on the car park, as they have done since the Square and Morrisons was built
They will inevitably have to park on local residential roads, causing issues for local residents and making it even more difficult for vehicles, including the local bus service, to travel around the area.
The Parish Council have tried to engage with Morrisons both locally and nationally since the first application was submitted last Summer. Unfortunately, they have refused to meet us to discuss local concerns.
The last application was refused by Telford & Wrekin Planning Committee following a strong campaign by the Parish Council, local residents, local retailers and Lawley Running Club – who will all be directly affected by Morrisons attempt to limit use of the community car park.
In the coming weeks we would ask the local community to once again show their opposition to Morrisons proposals by:
