Thanks to all who took part in the play area consultation.  The winning design was created by A Frost Design.

This review follows the receipt of a petition prepared by the Parish Councillors of Denmead and Southwick & Widley Parish Councils who are members of the West of Waterlooville Advisory Group, on behalf of the residents of the new development area. The petition contains 204 signatures.

The formal commencement of the review was approved by Winchester City Council’s Licensing and Regulatory Committee on 8th December 2017.

This first stage of public consultation will formally commence on Monday 15th January 2018 and will conclude on Monday 5th February.

 

Your Chance To Choose The Play Equipment

Tuesday 16th January from 3 to 7pm is your chance to choose the new play area for Newlands Walk.

At the opening of Newlands Walk the community was asked what type of play equipment would be best for the area.  This information formed the basis of a design brief which play providers were able to design to.

The West of Waterlooville Arts Panel have shortlisted three play areas and would like the community to decide on the final design.

Your chance to vote will be on Tuesday 16th January at the Wellington Vale Care Home, between 3 and 7pm.  Cllr Brook and officers from Winchester City Council will be attending Denmead Infants and Junior Schools on Monday 15th and Berewood Primary School on Tuesday 16th for children of those schools to vote.

The three shortlisted designs will be on display along with council officers and Councillor Brook to answer questions.

The winning design should be installed by Summer 2018.

Taylor Wimpey have provided funding for the play equipment for children aged from 4-14 as part of the section 106 agreement.   There is also some art funding being used to enhance the offer.

New Applications Received

In addition an advertisement application was submitted for a directional notice board on the first roundabout within Berewood (facing the Asda roundabout) reference 17/03213/AVC

Further information for the temporary building (site office and community facility) application (17/02559/FUL) was submitted, to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and provide further information which had been requested.

Applications for Phases 13A, 9B and 10A are being progressed and are pending consideration.  Revised plans which are significantly different to the proposals will initiate a second consultation of the application (including opportunity for public comment).

Consultations will soon start for the play equipment at Newlands Walk and also for the Community Governance Review (proposal for a new Parish Council) – watch out for dates to be announced shortly.

The next Advisory Group meeting will be on Tuesday 30th January at Berewood Primary School, starting at 7pm.
