          Story Homes - housing development proposal for Hornby

          Story Homes have submitted a proposal to build 76 houses on Fleet Lane, on land next to OneSchool Global in Hornby. Gressingham Parish Council is opposing the application.

           

          The application’s reference number is: 18/01165/HYB

           

          Gressingham & Eskrigge residents are encouraged to submit a comment to the Lancaster City Council Planning Committee ahead of the Planning Committee hearing which is due to be scheduled very soon.

           

          How to submit a comment to LCC

           

          The Parish Council was formally consulted, and has submitted its comments which you can read here by clicking on these links:

          The website contains Pearson Trust Working Group meeting minutes plus all reports, plans, leaflets, questionnaire, fly-through video, etc.

          In the pre-covid era, the next steps would have been to hold the referendum and progressing an application for funding from the Lottery Heritage Fund. As a result of co-vid, local authorities are not operating at normal strength and the Heritage Lottery have suspended all work on their major programmes, so PTWG work is effectively suspended.

          Accessibility

          If you or someone you know is having trouble reading the information on this website, please contact the Clerk and we will do our very best to help.

          This might be by providing the information in alternative accessible format, or even by reading the material over the telephone.

           

           

          Gressingham Parish Council (GPC) is committed to ensuring website communications can be used by as many people as possible.

          New regulations* require public sector bodies to ‘make your website more accessible by making it ‘perceivable, operable, understandable and robust’.

          Gressingham parish has a population of only about 150. The council has just 5 councillors and a clerk, and a very small budget.

          At the time of writing, councillors are not aware of any parishioner who has difficulty accessing our website information.

          After due consideration, councillors have concluded that with such limited resources the time and money necessary to make all communications meet the guidelines for such infrequent use would be a ‘disproportionate burden’ for GPC.

          However, this issue is to remain under review; the Website Accessibility Assessment has been added to GPC’s ‘Annual Governance Cycle and monitoring arrangements’ as an item for routine annual review.

          If anyone with an impairment or disability which makes accessing our communications difficult, we offer personal assistance. This statement is placed prominently at the head of our webpage:

        • Traffic Speed Survey

          The Parish Council is proposing to ask Lancaster County Council to reduce the current 30mph speed limit within Gressingham village to 20mph. The views of villagers will be taken into account.

          This survey is to gather information on how villagers feel about the current traffic conditions, and about the proposal to reduce the current 30mph speed limit to 20mph. (There are only 4 questions and will take only about 1 minute complete).
