More on the takeaway application

The plans to turn the old Post Office into a takeaway were raised at tonight's Safer Stronger Community Group meeting. Concerns raised included parking problems, litter and smells.

Local Councillor Claire Young spoke to the case officer about the consultation with residents on Wedensday morning. He explained that for applications of this nature, only those properties that share a boundary (or are directly opposite) are consulted. This appears to have been done. The plans should be available to view in the Yate One Stop Shop. Issues such as youths hanging around late at night or litter could be dealt with by approppriate conditions on opening times, provision of bins and so on.

At the SSCG meeting, one resident said that the plans had disappeared from the website. They appear to be there at the time of writing this post but if anyone has further concerns about this, please contact Claire Young.

The Chair of the Parish Council confirmed that this application will be considered at Monday's Parish Council meeting in the Manor Hall, Coalpit Heath.
