Revised plans for Symn Lane Car Park

Revised plans have been posted on the SDC Planning Portal; search for application S.23/2101/VAR.

The main changes being the additional area with disable parking spaces off the internal road, updated landscaping and the start of the link footpath to the swimming pool (within the site).

There's now a possibility that the application will come before the December Development Control Committee (DCC).

This means that I'll finally get to present the petition (started in December 2023) about the removal of the car parking spaces on the bank. Presenting this petition was a pre-election promise! I also promised to get the car park finished ASAP. lol. A newbie councillor mistake...... :(

Town Council will be consulted on this application, probably at their November planning meeting.

North Nibley Parish and Stinchcombe Parish Council meetings

Both these meetings were very early in the month and it seems that I forgot to e-mail out my reports. So here are the links; North Nibley here and Stinchcombe here.

Wotton-under-Edge Town Council Meeting

Unfortunately, the council meeting on the 20th October couldn't proceed as it was inquorate. Very disappointing for the six candidates hoping to be co-opted onto the council.

An extraordinary meeting will now be held on the 27th Oct at 6:30pm BEFORE planning with another extraordinary meeting then being held on the 27th AFTER the planning meeting. Dealing with the co-option and urgent business. Agendas are here.

If there is agreement at the first meeting on the 27th the original meeting of 20th October 2025 will be rescheduled to 3rd November 2025 to enable consideration of the items on that meeting’s agenda. I hope I've got that right!

As always, you know where I am (Cookability) if you have any questions or just want a chat.
