There were no Site Visits Scheduled for this day

Policy Review Committee 11th January

A very informative meeting at which were present 3 members of Yeovil Hospital and a representative of the Patients association. Yeovil had recently been assessed for their CQC (Care Quality Commission) www.cqc.org.uk/ and they were very open about short fallings that were highlighted through this and what was being done to address them. The structure of the meeting made for a very open Q &A session

Development Control 17th January

There was one application for Gillingham;
Malt House Residential Home, Bay Road, Gillingham.
Though planning permission had been granted 2 years ago (to “Demolish existing dwelling (Broadlands) and erect 28 bed dementia care wing, with link to the existing malthouse residential care home.”) the Section 106 agreement to secure the commitment to the continual updating and implementation of the Travel Plan as required by the Committee’s in its resolution to grant permission was still outstanding.
The Planning Officer informed the Committee that the S106 Agreement was being finalised this week and the commitment would be secured, therefore Planning permission was not rescinded.

There will be a Service Review meeting today looking at:
PERFORMANCE OF CONSULTATIONS USED TO DELIVER THE GYPSY AND TRAVELLER CONSULTATION EVENTS
UPDATE ON PERFORMANCE OF THE STOUR VALLEY PARTNERSHIP (SVP)
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
THE REVIEW OFTHE DORSETFORYOU WEB SITE

I will give an update on this next month.
