The quiet period
There is a six week period following the Planning Appeal
decision where no work on the site can commence even the program of works
cannot be agreed. This time period allows NCC or other parties to challenge the planning decision if they
wish to. Currently the Association are not
able to provide any definitive information as to the program of works
for the site redevelopment until this period is over.
Once this period has ended we will be meeting with the
developers, C.E.G.to discuss the site redevelopment timetable.
The Association appreciate the uncertainty for a gardener is
demoralising but we are bound by the legal requirements of the planning
regulations.
Once the Association
have concrete information all active
gardeners; both renters and shareholders will be invited to a meeting to advise
what is happening. It would not be prudent to hold a meeting before this
information is available as we could not fully answer any questions.
The overgrown avenues.
The Association have an ongoing
program of maintaining the avenues and access paths on the site. If there are
areas of the site where gardeners feel
there is a health and safety issue please email the Secretary with the
plot numbers to allow this to be looked into. Additionally if there are areas
of the site where vehicles could be damaged by the vegetation do not drive cars
down there, please park in the main parking areas.
During a recent visit the avenues were checked and found to be satisfactory but at this time of year this
position can change within a couple of weeks.
