Salisbury & South Wilts Sports Club

The planning committee APPROVED the planning application for the new clubhouse and five houses at its meeting on Thursday evening 27.8.09.  Update to follow.

Announcements

The sport’s club planning application for a new clubhouse and enabling houses is to be heard by the Southern Area Planning Committee on Thursday 27 August at 6.00pm. The venue is the Alamein Suite in the City Hall. We cannot be sure our application will be heard first as there will be other cases to be voted on, but the meeting commences at 6 o’clock – BE THERE!

It is vital we have as many supporters of the application as possible because, although the audience is not allowed to speak, clapping or hissing is not able to be stopped which would influence the committee made up of our councillors. These councillors are our elected representatives and should wish to follow any majority opinion if they want to get elected again! The councillors are human and inevitably will be “helped”  in their vote by seeing how seriously people consider an application, by how many people turn up at the meeting.

Please make every effort to attend to help all the work put in so far pay off. Bring a friend, a relative, another club member, anyone you can think of. If you cannot attend, make sure you let other people know of the meeting. Hopefully our application will be approved, but it is very likely conditions will be attached, and if we can minimise these that would reduce costs and/or onerous responsibilities.

Announcements

It is quite likely, but not yet confirmed, that the clubhouse and enabling housing application will be heard on Thursday August 26th at 6.00 pm at the City Hall. The application is hopefully going to be “recommended for approval” by the planners and then voted on by the elected councillors.

We need to have as many supporters at the meeting as possible so that the councillors can see how seriously the application is taken by us. The councillors are after all elected by the public (us!) and thus will want to be seen to support public opinion, and so the more people showing support for the project the better. It is possible the project would be approved but with conditions attached, so if we can prevent any onerous or expensive conditions, the better it will be for our club.

Please let as many of your fellow members and friends know about this possible date and keep checking the web-site for confirmation of the date of the hearing.
