The Heaton Park Action Group are asking local residents that care about preserving the open green spaces in the park to write in and register an official complaint against Manchester City Councils decision to allow Goals Soccer to build there.

In particular the HPAG and others grievances centre around the conduct of the Manchester Planning Committee meeting that passed the planning application.

I have attached the flyer that HPAG are circulating which highlights the key areas of concern, and would ask that if you feel strongly about protecting Heaton Park, you register a complaint about how this decision came about.

The decision process was a shambles and the local community and park lovers alike will pay the penalty as a result as will future generations, so please get writing and pass it on!

The complaint flyer can be downloaded here:  heaton-park-complaint-flyer.pdf

I am horrified to learn that yet another application has been submitted to Bury Council for a change of use from a retail premises to a hot food take-away.

Local residents will recognise the premises when I say it is on Bury Old Road, Whitefield at the junction with Cuckoo Lane.

I am rapidly reaching the conclusion that we are becoming saturated with take-aways. Prestwich now has dozens of them. Fans of take-aways will be delighted to learn that within the boundaries of Prestwich it is possible to sample the cuisine of numerous Indian, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Italian, Kosher, English, Kebabs etc.

Now personally I like a take-away as much as the next person, but I fear it is really starting to affect the variety of local businesses and shops available to the public as well as changing the appearance of the area. (we’ll leave the affect of litter for now).

I am equally astounded that they can all survive in the area in such close proximity, we must all be spending a lot more time eating take-aways, with the inevitable consequences for the growing waistlines of local residents.

Perhaps the gateway signs welcoming travellers to Prestwich should now read “Prestwich -where you can get fed” or “Prestwich - twinned with Rusholme”.

I will be opposing this application. It isn’t needed, it will in my opinion damage the local economy further, amounts to an over-development of a particular retail sector in the area. Pertinently from a planning perspective it will cause further parking problems at a busy junction with increased potential for late night problems in a residential area.

If you would like to oppose you need to be fast as it is due to be considered by Planning next week.  Email: J.Cummins@bury.gov.uk quoting the address: 2 Bury Old Road Whitefield and the application reference: 52510  

Last nights Save Heaton Park meeting wasn’t quite the doom laden meeting you might have expected following the disgraceful Manchester City Council Planning meeting that gave the green light to Goals.

In fact by the end of the meeting it was clear that far from being over we still have a number of options and avenues to pursue.

Certainly in my book Heaton Park and for that matter green open parkland, is so precious we should not leave any stone unturned in our campaign to preserve the park from development.

So the fight continues. The campaign group are taking the issue to higher levels and pursuing further legal advice , sadly I cannot reveal all at this stage as it may prejudice the campaign. But expect to hear further both in the local press and via my blog in the future.

So watch this space!

Manchester City Council’s Planning Committee has today voted , by 9 votes to 5 votes to APPROVE the Commercial Soccer Centre in Heaton Park.

An impressive crowd of protestors made it to Manchester Town Hall on Thursday afternoon and the public areas were packed with protestors.

Councillors first voted on a request made by local Prestwich Councillor Tim Pickstone for a site visit (so that the Councillors would consider this at their next meeting after visiting the area) but this was voted down about 9 votes to 5.

Then the campaign got to make its case when local resident Paul Toner spoke against the plans, together with statements from local Councillors Tim Pickstone, Wilf Davison and spokesperson for Ivan Lewis MP. A spokesperson for Goals Soccer Centres spoke in favour of the proposals.

However controversy continues to haunt the proposals as it came to light that a response from the Garden Historical Society AGAINST the plans had not been included in the paperwork for the meeting. The GHS are a statutory consultee on this issue and they raised serious concerns about the impact of the centre on the historical character of the park, and on how it would impact on the entrance way.

A proposal to defer the decision to allow more time to consider this late objection was also defeated 9 votes to 5.  There was some debate by Councillors, but most remained silent.

Finally the proposal was approved by 9 votes to 5. Planning is a non-Party Political issue, but by chance……, all the Labour Councillors voted in favour, all the Liberal Democrat councillors voted against.

So, after all the hard work of the Campaign the proposal has been accepted. Everyone involved is understandably gutted and devastated by the decision.

Despite the result I congratulate all those involved in the campaign, you fought a first rate campaign on the right issues for a good cause, preservation of open parkland.

I will be in touch with Bury Council to now ask that they give careful consideration to mitigation measures in the area to deal with increased traffic and even worse, agravated parking issues that this development will bring. I will also be insisting that the 10pm curfew set for the devlopment is monitored closely as should the promise of free off peak community use.

A sad day for Heaton Park and all who love our green open spaces.

Bury South Lib Dem candidate, Vic D’Albert has called on Bury Primary Care Trust to reconsider their proposals for new health facilities.

It was recently confirmed by the PCT that following rejection of a previous planning application for the uplands health centre near Whitefield Town Hall, that they now plan to relocate most of their plans to premises in the Radcliffe area.

Vic D’Albert commented, “This is a dreadful decision by the PCT that will significantly disadvantage many people in the Whitefield area and will do nothing to help deprived communities in Whitefield. I would urge them to reconsider for the sake of all concerned.

“There has to be a middle way here that provides a planning application in this conservation area that is acceptable to the local authority and enables the PCT to bring first class modern medical and health support services to local residents.”

Last nights public meeting received an update from Save Heaton Park Campaigners on progress and latest developments in the campaign.

It’s now expected to be likely that the application will go before Manchester City Councils Planning Committee in March.

The packed St.Margarets Church House, saw a video presentation featuring another  Goals soccer centre and more  details about the planns submitted were provided.

What is clear now both from the plans submitted and comments from some Manchester Labour Councillors is that this is not just about whether commercial sports ventures are appropriate in this or any other park, but whether it is right to develop our green open spaces at all - as a matter of principle.

If this proposal gets the go ahead then it could open the flood gates to commercial development of our parks like never before. It’s similar to the sale of school playing fields in the 70’s and 80’s which is now recognised as having a devastating affect on sports development in Britain - especially team sports.

This now is a line in the sand, I wonder how many other commercial organisations are watching and waiting for the Goals soccer application?

In 10 years time - how much more of Heaton park will have been developed as a result? How many other parks will have faced development?

It’s not about being a killjoy - it’s about acting responsibly for future generations, as guardians for our green legacy. Something Manchester City Council was supposed to be. Something I still hope they will be.

Due to the huge public outcry Goals Soccer Centres have failed to present their plans to Manchester City Council Planning Committee twice but have now submitted a 3rd set of plans and ethy don’t get any better (see below).

They are trying everything they can to get these plans approved. It’s up to us to stop them.
They have tried and failed in other parks. We must fight them every inch of the way.

Goals have been stopped before

Regents Park - REJECTED
Mordern Park -REJECTED

Lets stop them in Heaton Park and make it three nil for all those people who love open
parkland.

We urge you to object to this new planning application
The new planning application from Goals includes raising the level of the pitches by
80 centimeters which is almost a metre higher than they were originally planned. Making this blot on the landscape even more obvious.

Additionally security fencing is also planned. This physical and visual barrier will effectively cut off this area of parkland and thereby detract from the special character of this area of the park.

You need to send your objections to Manchester City Council by 3rd February 2010 If you have already sent in an objection during the last consultation period you will still need to send in another objection.

Monday 25 January 2010
7.00pm Church House (St Margaret’s Road, Opposite the Church), Prestwich.

Thank you for all your support so far!

Plans to demolish 33 Glebelands Road and build a 12 apartment building with parking  have been rejected by Bury Councils Planning Department.

As an original objector to the first set of plans and to these resubmitted plans I am delighted that this planning Application has been refused.

This is a character victorian house and should be restored if at all possible - even if that means converting the existing building into apartments. But demolition would be a tragedy and a further loss to our built heritage on the edge of a council conservation area.

I do hope the owners come back with plans to preserve and restore this building in a way that satisfies both developers and the local community. If they can’t I hope they sell this building to someone who can.

As Prestwich Town Centre regeneration plans are firmed up over the coming year Bury Council must not lose sight of the fact that one of the strengths of the local economy is the small local independent traders, some of whom have operated from the Longfield Precinct for many years.

I believe it is reasonable to expect Bury Council to place relocation and support packages high on the agenda in negotiations with the landlords/developers, Hollins Murray Group (HMG).

Successful businesses know only too well the benefits of planning ahead, and at present many of the small businesses in the centre of Prestwich feel that they are in a state of limbo, uncertain of when development will take place and what support they will get towards relocation. They need plenty of notice and we need to ensure as much as possible that they don’t suffer too much as a result.

It would be devastating to lose local businesses as a result of regenerating the town centre to make it more attractive for new businesses!

I have already raised this issue with the Council and I will be pursuing the matter in the new year. We’ve got to back our local businesses.

In response to the latest consultation with Bury Council about the proposed Goals Games Zone in Heaton Park, Bury Council has maintained their committment to a 10pm curfew on floodlights.

I had attended last nights Planning Committee to see what Bury’s response would be and to press for concerns to be raised about inadequate parking provision in the proposals.

I asked the Committee to maintain its previous position that floodlights should be turned off at 10pm and that extra car parking should be provided. The present provision appears to presume that Five-a-side teams will either arrive on foot or all in the same car, with no other visitors and will all leave just as the next customers arrive!

Although I regret that Bury Planning Committee has not taken a tougher stance in recognition of the noise and light pollution residents will face and additional traffic problems. They are at least maintaining  a consistent approach.

It is understood that Manchester City Council may not consider the application until February and that further public consultation may be required.

SAY NO TO GOALS, SAY YES TO PROTECTING HEATON PARK

 KEEP IT GREEN

Manchester City Council have announced that the application from Goals
Soccer Centres to build a commercial soccer centre in Heaton Park will
now NOT be considered at the Planning Committee on 17 December 2009. 

This is the second time that the proposals have failed to make it to Planning
Committee - earlier concerns meant the application was not considered in
September.
 
Local campaigners, whilst welcoming the delay, say the “fight must go on” to
stop this part of the park being ruined. The application is still expected to come
before Committee in the new year. 
 
Vic D’Albert, Parliamentary candidate for Bury South and local councillor said,
“I welcome this further delay and urge Manchester City Council even at this late
stage to reflect on the negative impact that this development would have on 
Heaton Park and the surrounding community. The legacy to future generations
should be trees and open parkland not concrete and cages.”
 
“Don’t sell Greater Manchester short, abandon these proposals and start a real
dialogue on how best to ensure Heaton Park is sustainable and preserved for
the benefit of all, this generation and those that follow.”

Last night The Save Heaton Park campaign held a public meeting to launch the final push to stop Goals Soccer centres building pay-to-use sports pitches on open grass in a corner of the park near to houses.

Following an update on progress so far to the packed St.Margarets Church Hall in Prestwich, a short video was shown of a Goals centre somewhere else so residents could see what they can expect if these plans get the go-ahead.

GET YOUR OBJECTION IN NOW

The plans are set to go before Manchester City Councils Planning Committee on December 17th. If you objected previously you will need to object again. But please in any case if you value the openness and natural beauty of Heaton Park please please get your objections in now.

COMPETITION

Also a competition has been launched for people to take photos of this corner of the park, draw, paint or write poetry with great prizes worth £200 open to all ages.

Details of the competition, letters and suggested actions are all available on the Save Heaton park web site at www.saveheatonpark.org.uk  

ACT NOW TO STOP THEM BUILDING ON HEATON PARK - DON’T LEAVE THE FUTURE OF HEATON PARK TO SOMEONE ELSE 

Goals Soccer Centres have re-submitted an amended planning application to Bury Council for consultation following formal submission to Manchester City Council last week. It is expected to be a supplementary item on Bury Councils Planning Committee of NOVEMBER 17th where it will be presented for consultation only.

As reported last week, this application will be decided by Manchester City Council on December 17th.

The details are
Application number: 51957         Type of application: Consultation From Neighbouring Authority         Date Registered: 03/11/2009

Applicant: Goal Soccer Centres plc
Location: AREA ADJACENT TO EXISTING BOWLING PAVILION, HEATON PARK, PRESTWICH, M25 2SW
Proposal: PROPOSED SPORTS DEVELOPMENT COMPRISING OF DETACHED BUILDING TO FORM CHANGING ROOMS WITH ANCILLARY STORE, MULTI USE ROOMS AND CAFE BAR TOGETHER WITH THE FORMATION OF 13 SMALL-SIDED FOOTBALL PITCHES, 6 TENNIS AND NETBALL COURTS, SKATEPARK AND CLIMBING WALL WITH ASSOCIATED PARKING, LANDSCAPING, BOUNDARY TREATMENTS AND ASSOCIATED FLOODLIGHTING (AMENDED PLANS)

Plans will be available to view on the Council’s website within 2 working days from the date of this email. Should you require further details please contact the case officer: Mark Kilby on: 0161 253 7639 or reply by email. For further clarification please don’t hesitate to contact your local councillors.

Goals Soccer Centres have re-submitted their plans for a commercial soccer centre in the St Margaret’s Road area of Heaton Park this week.

These plans will now be subject to public consultation, and expected to go before Manchester Council’s Planning Committee on 17 December 2009.

The plans have been resubmitted despite significant opposition from local residents, heritage watchdogs and many users of the park.

The new plans see a slightly reduced scheme of THIRTEEN soccer pitches, SIX tennis courts and a climbing wall area. There are 40 car parking spaces and Club House.

Over the next week we’ll be giving you more information on how to campaign against the proposals - this will be our last chance to SAVE HEATON PARK!

More information on the planning application here (Manchester City Council). (Search under Higher Blackley Ward.)

Download the plans here and here.

Despite massive opposition and a wide range of concerns that our Heaton Park heritage will be damaged for ever Goals Soccer Centres have only made minor alterations. The key fact remains that if these proposals will go ahead they will be devastating for the St.Margarets area of Prestwich, damaging to the park and do virtually nothing in providing free access to sports facilities for young people in Prestwich.

PLANNING APPLICATION 

A Planning application has been lodged by Care UK for the siting of a mobile Health Clinic at Tesco’s for a period of seven years.

Details would be appear sketchy at present but presumably it will be one of those mobile testing clinics - where you can get your blood pressure checked out or perhaps have more serious matters checked/tested for problems. All potentially very good but immediately questions spring to mind.

Firstly why isn’t this happening at the walk in centre (or its much hoped for LIFT centre replacement)?

I thought the NHS was hard up. So why are they paying a private company to dump a mobile clinic at Tesco’s for 7 years and staff it?

It also seems a bit bizarre - have your heart checked out, while your better half rumages through the fruit and veg!

And I assume Tesco’s are getting a pretty good slice of the action also. Let’s face it they’re not exactly know for their benevolence to the local community. So perhaps someone will let us know who is paying what to whom in this novel initiative?
 

A new planning application has been received which is within Holyrood Ward of Prestwich as detailed below:-

Application number: 51757         Type of application: Full         Date Registered: 15/09/2009

Applicant: Mr Naseem Dost
Location: 33 GLEBELANDS ROAD, PRESTWICH, M25 1WE
Proposal: RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - 10 APARTMENTS WITH 12 CAR PARKING SPACES AND LANDSCAPING

Plans will be available to view on the Council’s website within 2 working days from today (see link on the left). Should you require further details please contact the case officer: Helen Longworth on: 0161 253 5322.

A similar application came up for this site some time ago which I opposed along with many other local people and organisations. Once the plans are available I will be scrutinising them once more and will comment more fully at that time.

The long awaited regeneration of Prestwich village moved a step closer tonight when Bury Councils Planning Control Committee approved an outline planning application.

The initial outline application basically designates areas for use and provides a general overview of the proposals. This application will now be followed in the coming months with detailed applications relating to specific site developments.

I am pleased that the application was unanimously approved. St.Mary’s Ward Councillor Mary D’Albert sought clarification on the size of the proposed supermarket and assurances that the Longfield Suite will be unaffected and the new libary will be at least as big as the existing one.

St.Mary’s Lib Dem Councillor Donal O’Hanlon could not vote because he has a vested interest in the development as Chair of the Town Centre Regeneration Working Group that has monitored and pressed forward these proposals on behalf of the Area Partnership. He did however suggest a number of conditions of which one regarding contractors and subcontractors parking was adopted.

So onwards and upwards. Developers will hopefully be working on key aspects/detailed applications now and there may well be detailed consultation with Town planners on the details.

It is also hoped that these detailed applications remain true to the Love Prestwich Strategy document which has been so well received and the the Area Partnership and Town Centre Regeneration Working Group remain an active consultee of the developers.

Watch this space - or to be more specific the Longfield Precinct space!

Last night I chaired the Council’s Local Development Framework Sub group (of the Economy, Environment and Transport Scrutiny Commission). Believe me it’s more interesting than it sounds!

Ostensibly the group has been set up to oversee the progress of the Council’s production of a Local Development Framework (LDF) and to scrutinise the consultation process and ensure all bases are covered etc.

The LDF is a votal planning document that will inform future development and conservation across the whole of Bury for the period up to 2026. For instance it will highlight where development will be permitted, whether that development can be for employment purposes or housing for instance. It will identify green belt and green “facilities”.

So all in all its a crucial piece of work that will have a far reaching affect on he future of Bury. Last night was only our second meeting so some way to go yet. But good progress is being made.

The meetings are open to the public - next meeting September 14th, 6pm Bury Town Hall.

A new planning application has been received which is within Holyrood Ward of Prestwich as detailed below:-

Application number: 51601         Type of application: Full         Date Registered: 12/08/2009

Applicant: Mr Churchill
Location: LAND TO THE REAR OF 58 - 62 BURY OLD ROAD, WHITEFIELD, M45 6TL
Proposal: SINGLE STOREY EXTENSION TO FORM 4NO STORAGE UNITS, FIRST FLOOR EXTENSION TO FORM ADDITIONAL STORAGE TO UNITS 8,10,12 & 14 & ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT

Plans will be available to view on the Council’s website within 2 working days from the date of this email. Should you require further details please contact the case officer: Tom Beirne on: 0161 253 5361 or contact either myself, Cllr Pickstone or Cllr Davison for advice about commenting on this application.

Last night I was at two meetings.

The first was a Standards Hearing to hear a complaint made against a fellow councillor. I won’t go into the nitty gritty here, suffice to say you’ll read all about it soon enough in the press. However I would just say its one of the most unpleasant meetings I ever have to attend. Inevitably there are often some sympathies with the plight of the accused councillor but thankfully I was but one of a three man Hearing panel, I just hope ultimately the decision taken can be seen as fair. But these things are never easy.

SAVE HEATON PARK

Thankfully my second meeting was far more pleasant as it was meeting with the local residents opposed to the development of a games zone in Heaton Park. Its getting quite exciting now and the evidence being accumulated by the group is both substantial and damning of Manchester City Council and their approach to the great green parkland legacy that is Heaton Park and local residents.

This one will go all the way to the wire, and there is much more to come on this , but again you’ll read more in the press no doubt.

Local residents campaigning against the proposed commerical soccer centre at the St Margaret’s corner of Heaton Park are hoping that the parks hertigate could save the day for this beautiful area of open parkland.

Consultation on the Goals Soccer Centre application closed in July, but campaigners have been informed that English Heritage - the Government’s formal heritage “watchdog” have raised several serious concerns about the development. Heaton Park is a Grade II parkland, and Heaton Hall itself is a Grade I listed building. Campaigners understnad that English Heritage have raised concerns about the size of the development (the number of football pitches and tennis courts), the car park (that there shoudn’t be one) and the amount of fencing in the scheme which detracts from the open nature of the park.

At the same time campaigners have found out that the Heritage Lottery Fund, who have funded millions of pounds of improvements in Heaton Park in recent years were not consulted on the proposed development, and only found out after the consultation deadline after a resident tipped them off!

Requests for a copy of the English Heritage objection have been denied by Manchester Council.

Its brilliant that these important heritage agencies have been brought into the discussion on the Soccer Centre. Heaton Park is a historic piece of parkland thats been used as a park for over 100 years. The proposed development is only metres away from a beatiful historic house.

These heritage concerns raise serious questions about the proposed development. “Bury Council has already raised concerns that there is not enough parking in the scheme. If English Heritage say there shouldn’t be a car park where does this leave the local residents?

Manchester Council must see sense now?

A new planning application has been received which is within Holyrood Ward of Prestwich as detailed below:-

Application number: 51622         Type of application: Full         Date Registered: 03/08/2009

Applicant: Bury Metropolitan Borough Council
Location: HEATON PARK CP SCHOOL, CUCKOO LANE, WHITEFIELD, M45 6TE
Proposal: EXTENSION AND REFURBISHMENT TO PROVIDE NEW CHILDREN’S CENTRE

Plans will be available to view on the Council’s website (see the Planning Dept link on the left) within 2 working days. Should you require further details please contact the case officer: Helen Longworth on: 0161 253 5322 or myself or my fellow Holyrood Councillors, Cllr Tim Pickstone or Cllr Wilf Davison.

A few people in favour of the proposed development of a sports zone in Heaton Park keep challenging the “anti” development campaign, including myself and colleagues, accusing us of spoiling things for the kids that want sports facilities.

I am frankly amazed at what little regard some people seem to have for parkland, and especially for something as widely cherished as Heaton Park.

They don’t see a problem with building on parkland, they don’t see the loss - only the gain, almost blinded by the potential gain. And perversely they fail to see that sports can be played on grass parkland as well. In fact unless things have changed isn’t football supposed to be played on grass? Grass parkland is the ultimate in flexible sporting facilities!

Would the same people like to see Bury Council build sports facilities on St.Mary’s park, Barnfield Park or the Clough?

Our parkland has to be protected because once developed it will be lost forever and that would be an apalling legacy to leave future generations.

 ”on this site once stood open grassland - a habitat to wildlife and mature trees, shrubs and wild flowers. A haven and place of tranquility and sport to be enjoyed by the many and available to all absolutely free”

A dissapointing and ultimately frustrating Planning Committee meeting last night saw Bury Council respond with little more than a whimper over Manchester Councils plans for a sports zone at the St.Margarets end of Heaton Park.

The proposal for 12 soccer pitches and 6 tennis courts to be developed on open park land has dismayed local residents already subjected to intolerable levels of traffic and street parking. Now they fear noise and light pollution up to 11pm at night and even worse traffic and parking.

At last nights meeting the plans were before Bury for comment as part of required consultation with neighbouring authorities.

I addressed the committee calling for the council to recommend increased parking provision, floodlights to be switched off at 9pm in summer and 8pm in winter, an independant traffic and noise impact study and guaranteed use of the facilities for Prestwich/Whitefield clubs, associations and schools.

Officers had already recommended a floodlight turn off at 10pm rather than 11pm and a recommendation that Manchester ensure adequate parking ie provision meets demand.

A colleague of mine challenged the assertion that St.Margarets Road could cope with the increased traffic and another councillor called on Manchester to arrange a public consultation meeting in Prestwich. My requests were not taken on board.

Overall residents (and I) left dissapointed because firstly they were not allowed to speak. (3 minutes is all they wanted, Why not!!!) And secondly because yet again Bury reacts with all the venom of a rotting lettuce when faced with recognising and backing the concerns of their citizens over big brother Manchester.

What a let down. But the real fight continues too Manchester Town Hall where the full application is to be decided on September 10th.

No time to wait to object to Goals Soccer Centre’s planning applicaiton to Manchester Council. Send in your responses by 20 July 2009. See this guide or download our leaflet now.

That’s the story of last nights busy Prestwich Area Partnership meeting at Sedgley Park School.

PRESTWICH FESTIVAL

The meeting was opened with a rolling slide show of photos from the 55 events held throughout Prestwich Festival. I took the opportunity to highlight how the festival came about and to thank all those that played a part in ensuring its success. I also requested feedback from residents who attended any of the events also with suggestions about to improve the festival next time.

OASIS CONCERTS

Graham Atkinson, Bury’s Director of Leisure services, reported back on the issues faced by Bury Council and the cross council  coordination of the Oasis concerts. He highlighted all aspects of the operation and identified areas to improved on next time. Which included aspects of parking and toilet provision, crowd dispersal at the end of concerts. Public transport issues  and nuisance/anti-social behaviour. A report is currently being compiled.

HIGHWAYS

We received a report with the delegated budget for local unclassified road repairs for the year. Prestwich is being offered just over £62,000 to spend. the report highlighted that the 13 worst streets in Prestwich needed repairs totaling £700,000. Its fair to say the Area Partnership was not amused. A resolution was passed highlihting our dissatisfaction and calling on the Council to review the situation as a matter of urgency and to get to grips with this issue that is now approaching crisis point.

HEATON PARK GAME ZONE

Residents from St.Margarets area attended open forum to raise the issue about Manchester’s plans for a private game zone in Heaton Park. In response the Area Partnership passed a resolution in support of residents and to inform Bury and Manchester Planning of our deep concerns about their proposals.

NEXT MEETING

October 1st, Butterstile Primary School arrive from 6.15 for 6.30 start.

I have just returned from Bury Councils Executive meeting at which the Councils Executive passed the Love Prestwich Regeneration strategy unaminously.

My colleague Cllr Tim Pickstone who attends the Executive on behalf of the Lib Dem Group, welcomed the strategy.

The strategy document sees the redevelopment of the Longfield Centre precinct with anew retail store, revamped library and Longfield suite coupled with more offices, shops a hotel and wider high street paving, larger open square area in the middle and much more.

Approval followed critical questioning from a representative of Tesco’s and supportive questioning from local residents and the Precinct owners, Hollins Murray Group.

The strategy will now become a material planning document. This means that any planning applications that come forward from developers (including Tesco’s) will be matched to the requirements , criteria and strategy outlined in this document.

Whatever happens next I am delighted that the biggest ever public consultation carried out in this area has finally been accepted by Bury Council. We must now await Hollins Murray Planning Applications and with the expectation that they are acceptable in light of the adoption of this strategy.

Stage 1 - mission accomplished, onto the next stage!

I would finish by thanking everyone who had an input into the strategy and have effectively helped create a truly acceptable blueprint for the future of Prestwich Village.

I applaud the Council’s Planning Committee for last night sticking to their guns and refusing the planning application from Bury and Whitefield Jewish Primary School to build a new school on green belt land near Old Hall Lane in Whitefield.

I know there were other factors, notably the under capacity at the school , but to my mind the overriding factor is that green belt land should not be built on. There is rarely an argument strong enough in my opinion to warrant removing for all time yet another green corner of our land. We must continue to take all necessary actions to protect and preserve our green belt.

So far as the school is concerned I understand their dissapointment and frustration. I would urge them to continue looking for a better location - perhaps a brownfield site in the area - but would ask them to see the big picture here, and try and understand the need to protect our diminishing green belt.

Planners at Bury Council have given approval for state of the art new facilities at Prestwich Arts College, marking the end of a long campaign for improvements to the successful local school.

The Council’s Planning Control Committee voted on Tuesday 16th June to grant planning permission for a new dining room and arts auditorium for the school, which was threatened with closure back in 2005. Local Lib Dem Councillor Vic D’Albert welcomed the news saying “This is a great boost for the school and the whole Prestwich community. As the only high school in Bury without a dining room,  this is long overdue. We’ve been lobbying the Council for years, and finally common sense has prevailed and given Prestwich young people what they need.

Commenting on the new arts auditorium, Cllr Pickstone, who is also a governor of the school, said “This will be a first class facility for a top quality school. But more than that, it will be used as a community facility, bringing better arts provision for the whole of Prestwich. I’m delighted it’s been given the go-ahead.”

The new facilities will be built in the near future. Cllr Pickstone said “We need to listen to the concerns of local residents on Heys Road, Glebelands Road and other nearby streets to ensure that the plans do not adversely affect local residents. When we get the process right, Prestwich Arts College and the whole area will have splendid new facilities.

I was delighted to attend the latest meeting of the Save Heaton Park campaign tonight.

Tonights meeting focused on updating residents with work done so far and then identifying what needed to happen next and how we should take the campaign forward.

It was interesting to hear from residents on various aspects of “evidence gathering” and lobbying for support from varied organisations and individuals and it was agreed that we  now need to start feeding that information into a central point.

In addition residents highlighted a number of key areas that needed to be looked into further and information that needed to be accessed and it was therefore agreed that an action committee is now established. 6 volunteers have agreed to join that committee and coordinate future action on behalf of local residents.

I pledged my continuing support to the campaign to save Heaton Park from development and I told the meeting that now is the time to stop talking about the issues and start taking action.

And so it was agreed that a number of innitiatives would be developed over the next few weeks to spread the word and to take the campaign to Manchester City Council, Bury Council and local media.

If you would like to offer your assistance to the campaign please don’t hesitate to contact me and don’t forget to visit the excellent web site set up by my colleague, Cllr Tim Pickstone at www.saveheatonpark.org.uk where you can also sign the petition and let everyone know about the site and the campaign - spread the word!

Local residents packed into St.Margarets Church House in Prestwich tonight to let local councillors know their views on the proposed development by Manchester City Council of a commercially operated sports zone at the St.Margarets corner of the park.

Over 80 residents attended the meeting chaired by Cllr Tim Pickstone and assisted by Cllr Vic D’Albert. Sedgley Lib Dem councillors Andrew Garner and Ann Garner were also present as was the Vicar of St.Margarets, The Reverend Debbie Plummer.

Cllr Pickstone outlined the proposals that have led to the meeting and that as councillors we needed to know the views of constituents.

The vast majority of residents were opposed to the proposals although there were some strong supporters in favour of the proposals.

The main reasons for opposition cited by residents were:

• The impact on local traffic - especially on St.Margarets Road
• The impact on parking in the area - with the fear that many visitors will try and park in side streets.
• Increased traffic late into the evening
• Noise and light pollution (floodlights) in the evening from the sports zone activities
• Loss of historic public open parkland

Cllr Vic D’Albert told the meeting, “What I struggle with on this issue is that when the park was first being proposed for refurbishment and regeneration years ago the Councils consultants told us that he aim was to restore the park to its original splendour, to restore the “vistas” of the original park. I fail to see how a sports zone fits in with those plans. Its a difficult issue, on the one hand we desperately need 21st century sports facilities in this area, but we also want to retain our park. On the balance I think its wrong - it boils  down to location, location, location.”

Voluteers were sought at the close of the meeting to collect signatures for the campaign against the plans and also to form a small action group to lead the campaign.

Remember you can sign the petition online at www.campaigns.libdems.org.uk/saveheatonpark or via the community web site www.myprestwich.org.uk

In order to take forward the “Love Prestwich” Village Centre strategy, a further retail capacity study has been undertaken to ensure that the key recommendations of the Love Prestwich Village Strategy are based on the most up-to-date possible assessment of the capacity and need for new retail development within Prestwich.

This new evidence, the Prestwich Town Centre Retail Capacity Assessment, has now been prepared by Drivers Jonas and can be viewed by following the link below:

Creation of a new Sports Zone, St Margaret’s Gate Entrance

Local Lib Dems are growing increasingly concerned at Plans for a Sports Zone in Heaton Park.

Plans are likely to come to Manchester Council’s Planning Committee before the summer for a “Sports Zone” near to the St Margaret’s Entrance of the Park. This would build on the existing Bowling Greens (created for the Commonwealth Games).

The proposed Sports Zone would include:
· 5-a-side pitches
· 7-a-side pitch
- Tennis Courts
· Spectator area
· Climbing wall
· Single storey pavilion comprising changing rooms, meeting rooms and bar
· Car parking

It would be run by a private company (ie there would be a charge for using the facilities normally, however it is proposed that it is made available for community use at non-peak times with free access for under 16 year olds. We’re also assured that there will be no activity after 9.00pm at night.

Vic D’Albert commented, “While in many ways this is a very positive development with the creation of much needed additional sporting facilities there are major worries too.” 

• Will the Prestwich Public and local schools and community groups receive free or discounted access or will that only be for Manchester City Council residents?
• This development would mean much more traffic along St.Margarets Road
• Should an historic public park have a large chunk hived off for the use of a private profit making business. Is this the start of further developments. MCC have already tried to build a school there!

“I am deeply concerned that local Prestwich residents  will once again get the short end of the stick with this development. We would urge all local residents to respond to the consultation and as your local councillors, myself Wilf and Tim will be responding formally to Bury Council and Manchester City Council on this issue. ”

The project is still at the planning stage and a public consultation exercise will take place in the Farm Centre, Heaton Park within the next 2 months following which the Planning Application will be submitted. (I will let people know when I have a date for this.)

What do you think?
Please let me know your views on this issue, which is likely to have a big impact on the St.Margarets area of Prestwich.

Last nights Area Partnership meeting at Sedgley Park School was billed as “the one not to miss”, and I think it lived up to expectations.

The meeting was well attended - although most members of the public were there to here further about proposals for the development of Prestwich Village or arrangements for the Oasis concerts in Heaton Park. Key highlights included:

Prestwich Festival

Panel and residents received an update on progress for this years inaugural Prestwich Festival which will run from May 17th to June 21st.

David Curtis who leads the carnival organising committee and is coordinating the Festival on behalf of the AP gave an update and confirmed that at present there are 25 events scheduled to take place. Starting with the Clough day on May 17th and climaxing with the Carnival on June 21st.

More events are being finalised and added all the time so its a case of wait and see. The Prestwich Festival programme will be printed in the next month and will schedule out all the events.  

Oasis concerts

3 concerts are too take place in Heaton Park on 4th, 6th and 7th June with Oasis headlining. Many residents have expressed concern at these proposed concerts. Especially with regard to home security, traffic, anti-social behaviour  etc.

The event promoters attended alongside the Manchester City Council project manager and a representative of the Event traffic and & transport management company. They addressed concerns raised and informed residents that a information leaflet is to be delivered shortly and a hotline number is to be established. Inspector Ryecroft confirmed that there will be a massive police operation to maintain security. In addition a private security firm are to be deployed.

Its fair to say that concerns still remain about traffic and parking issues and the impact across Prestwich, although they will be directing traffic through Middleton Road. and from Bowker vale Tram station.

Prestwich Centre Regeneration

Representatives of Hollins Murray Group the owners of the precinct - gave a presentation on their plans for the precinct following the proposals formulated by Urbed and subject to extensive consultation. Plans were also made available to view. Essentially at present they are not significantly dissimilar from the Urbed love-prestwich vision plans and that can only be good. Obviously it is relatively early in the process still and HMG informed the meeting that an Outline Planning Application would be submitted shortly. It would be fair to say that the presentation and proposals were well received from those that asked questions or made comment.

Police Report

Inspector Ryecroft reported on the last crime and security situation. he outlined that there has been a spate of burglaries across the area  and a drop in anti-social behaviour generally - although Holyrood ward remains the worst affected.

Graffiti was raised by a number of residents and Inspector Ryecroft was delighted to report that a main culprit has been caught who has confessed to 65 graffiti offences.

Next meeting: May 14th, Heaton Park School, Cuckoo Lane.

Last nights Prestwich Area Partnership was dominated by the latest twist in the regeneration proposals for Prestwich.

The much debated and consulted Prestwich regeneration plans were due to go before Bury Councils Executive Committee this evening for approval, however it was revealed last night that the item had been removed from the agenda and will not now be considered until a later meeting

It was confirmed that the item was “pulled” because of concerns that because it will become a material planning document and is crucial to the redevelopment of Prestwich it is essential that it is as “robust” as possible and would withstand detailed scrutiny. As such some additional consultancy work is being carried out which will be subject to a short public consultation and this inevitably means a slight delay. It is now expected that the Prestwich regeneration Strategy will be adopted in May.

I have voiced my dissapointment and will be monitoring developments very closely. On the plus side this also provides an opportunity for the documents references to car parking to be strengthened. Finally it was also confirmed that the Railway and Naturalist pub will now feature as one of the buildings to be preserved under the strategy.

There are of course numerous voices pointing towards Tesco’s as the reason for this delay. It is certainly the case that they have responded to the consultation by challenging retail capacity aspects of the strategy. However it is the Council that have rightly decided that to delay a little longer to ensure the plan is as sound and justified as possible can only benefit the regeneration and future development proposals.

For reference as a material planning document the Regeneration Strategy would have to be referred to by Bury Planning Officers when considering any planning applications that are submitted in future that affect the town centre. Planning applications would have to meet the requirements of the strategy. So its crucial we get it right now.

Last nights Planning Committee meeting saw my latest attempt to get a Glebelands Road Planning application rejected by the Committee.

Regular readers (assuming there are some out there) will recall that I successfully opposed the proposed demolition of 33 Glebelands Road, to be replaced by a block of (what else) flats recently.

Unfortunately last night the decision to build a massive extension at the rear of 4 Glebelands Road - A property in a conservation area, was approved by the committee. I must confess that I was somewhat surprised that the Planning Officers were so at ease with this development in a conservation area.

I suppose the positive is that as a local councillor I am now fully aware , as are the owners of the property (a charity) of the anti-social behaviour that local residents have had to endure , and I will be liaising closely with residents in the future and if need be with the Charity to address any future problems arising.

There is now one week left of the public consultation on the Regeneration Plans for Prestwich.

Local Councillors and Council Officers are delighted with the response to the largest ever public consultation in Prestwich - with over 350 responses received so far. So please, if you have any comments to make please send them in. You can either respond using the survey distributed with the consultation documents (which are also available in the Library), via the Council web site or by email or post to either local councillors or the Town Hall.

Remember the Regeneration Strategy is not intended as the final document. It is NOT a planning application. It is intended as a framework against which the Council can judge applications form developers. So it will used to encourage developers to put forward plans that match the essential aspirations of this strategy. That is also why some basic street level detail is not included in the strategy - that will come later when we have a final document adopted by the Council and following negotiations with potential developers.

I am delighted to report that the proposed Planning Application to demolish the victorian building at 33 Glebelands Road has been withdrawn.

Along with about 40 other residents I had opposed this development on the grounds of overdevelopment. The plans had proposed biulding 14 apartments on the site and a car park which would have seen the removal of protected trees as well.

I understand the application was withdrawn following concerns raised by the Planning Department about the height and scale of the building, tree removal and Highways concerns about the proposed access to the development.

I just hope that the developers go back to the drawing board and try and come up with something that would see this marvellous building in a popular area being preserved instead of being demolished. Buildings like this need to be preserved but more importantly utilised, the worst thing that could happen now is for the biulding to remain empty for many more years.

Well done to all who opposed this plan, however we must remain vigilant against further innapropriate proposed developments. 

I attended a Planning Control Committee meeting on tuesday night. Specifically I attended to support residents of Glebelands Road who are opposed to a large scale extension being attached to the rear of a large victorian semi. So what? Why bother?

Well what really upset me was that this property is bang smack in the middle of a conservation area and this particular building is owned and occupied by a charity that support recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. Over the years residents have put up with considerable disruption and now they are rewarded by an expansion programme that also seeks to alter significantly this property. As With Prestwich Heys applications for floodlights last year, I do think organisations have to consider when they are outgrowing their existing site and should consider moving to pastures new.

But despite all this it’s the conservation aspect that does for me. Whilst further up the road a larger even more impressive building is being proposed for demolition to be replaced by dreaded flats, on this property developers seek to attach a massive extension. Ok the building survives but is clearly disfigured.

We have to start standing up for our heritage and important buildings. Once demolished or disfigured thats pretty final, the deed is done. I never see extensions being demolished. 

I requested a site visit at the Planning meeting which was supported by the committee so I hope residents will turn out on November 25th to support this building being kept as it is.

I am dismayed by the planning application for demolition of the Victorian building at 33 Glebelands Road (the old doctor’s house) to be replaced by 4 storey’s of apartments.

I have today registered my objection to this development. Mature trees would be lost, properties on Orford Road would have the privacy of their gardens and bedrooms invaded by a property that would be taller than the existing property and neighbouring Highfield Court AND the site is on a sharp bend. The increased traffic generated would add to the danger to pedestrians and motorists alike many of whom are elderly.
I have also requested a site visit by the Planning Committee - so that they can see first hand what the impact would be on the area.

This building should have been part of the local conservation area from the start, then it could have been protected, I requested this as did other local councillors, but officers insisted that this was not possible in this case. It looks like that decision will have proven to be the death knell for 33 Glebelands Road. A crying shame.
