Good morning and thank you for your question.
You will be aware that Angmering Parish Council objected to all of the planning applications for building on the Roundstone Lane sites, some of the reasons for which you outline in your questions. The applications considered to date by Arun District Council have all been passed, some in detail, some in outline. West Sussex County Council are responsible for highways and it has indicated that the A259 will be dualled around Angmering, using money from the developers to do so. In the circumstances, this is the best that can be wished for.
The Parish Council is constantly making the developers aware of contraventions of the planning consents, including when it is made aware of lorries using the wrong route to and from the site. It is also to be represented at the Angmering Development Advisory Group which has been set up to formally deal with such contraventions and to ensure that what is built is in accordance with planning permissions given.
The Parish Council’s abilities to make changes to plans already agreed is limited, but it will do what it can to make the best of a bad job. Parish councillors all live in the village, show that they care by volunteering substantial amounts of their own time, and are often frustrated by the little that can be changed when faced with the inevitable. The Parish Council currently has four vacancies and would welcome more people to come forward if they felt they can make a difference. There will be an election of all thirteen council positions in May 2015, which is a time when more of you could stand up and be counted.
The Angmering Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared, inspected by both Arun District Council an Independent Inspector and will be sent around early in January, with a referendum for all residents to vote on 22 January 2015 |
