Improvements at Station Public House

THE STATION PUB in Souttergate, Hedon has submitted plans to improve the premises.

The improvements involve constructing a new smoking shelter and creating a new entrance and gate to the large family beer garden at the rear of the pub.

In the meanwhile it’s business as usual at the increasingly popular and friendly establishment. A “QUIZ NIGHT” has been arranged for Thursday evening on 1st April 2010. This will be an opportunity to stretch those brain cells in what might become a regular fortnightly event at the pub.

Cloeberry Way Housebuilding update

The proposal to build 3 houses on Cloeberry Way goes before the Council’s Eastern Area Planning Sub-Committee on Monday 22nd March 2010.

The recommendation is that the decision is delegated to council officers who have the power to approve the application unless expected consultation responses to the plans and flood risk assessment raise any new matters not already considered by the Council.

It has been acknowledged that the loss of parking provision could cause inconvenience to local residents. The planning application (i.e. the Council) has to demonstrate that the loss of parking is “acceptable” and that adequate provision is available elsewhere.

Four letters of objection have been received by the Council and a petition containing 15 names and addresses also objected to the proposal.
