P/09/47 Matters Arising from the Meeting of the 25 March 2009

• P/09/36 Satellite Dish – a response had been received from WCC which the clerk had circulated to members.
  
  
• P/09/36 Contractors Parking – the response from WCC was circulated to members at the meeting. Cllr Gordon explained that there was a need to ensure that when we are considering planning applications any problems from contractors [in addition to any other parking problems councillors’ envisaged] need to be highlighted at the time of looking at the plans to ensure our comments are relayed to the planning officers. Cllr Gordon also asked councillors to notify him or the clerks of any problems they find.
  
  
• P/09/42 Barton Farm – The chairman of the Parish Council and the clerk had attended the exhibition on the proposed development. Cllr Gordon also attended and gave an outline of his discussion with Cala Homes consultant. There was general agreement that a local solution is preferred to one imposed by central government.
  
  Councillors were advised that a comprehensive infrastructure of retail shops, school, surgery etc would be included and that the area to the east of railway would be designated public open space. Traffic calming measures will be installed on Wellhouse Lane and possible improvements to junction 9 on the M3. There remained concerns with it becoming a “rat- run” due to the fact that there will be an access point to the development from midway along Well House Lane.

Some members expressed their fears that the development would incorporate the parish into a greater Winchester.
