Agenda item

Roger Kirkham, Special Projects Planner, outlined a report to inform Members of the consultation request received from Buckinghamshire CC regarding the extraction of sand and gravel and related works at Uxbridge Road, George Green.  The application had been submitted by the applicant because the District boundary separated the land under Buckinghamshire CC jurisdiction and highway land under the jurisdiction of Slough BC.  The Committee was requested to comment on Slough BC’s response set out within the report.  The report was discussed prior to consideration of agenda item 12, P/04317/001 - Land adjacent to Uxbridge Road / George Green, Slough, Berkshire, SL2 5NH which related to an application submitted to Slough BC for inter alia, the construction of new road access and amended junction arrangements to the mineral extraction site.

It was highlighted that the application was for a temporary use only and when the extraction process had been exhausted, the site would be restored to agricultural use. The applicant had stated a new extraction site was required now that an existing quarry near Pinewood was nearing exhaustion.

The Committee noted and endorsed the Council’s response as set out at Section 12 of the report.

Resolved-  That :

a)  Buckinghamshire County Council be informed under the Spheres of Mutual Interest arrangements of its response set out in Section 12 of the report to planning application 13/00575/CC now awaiting determination by Bucks CC. (As part of this response, Slough BC would support a package of planning conditions and S106 necessary for this application in the event of it being granted temporary planning permission by Bucks CC).

b)  That Buckinghamshire County Council be informed of the planning decision about the provision of access onto Uxbridge Road and alterations to the public highway.
