WELLINGTON TOWN COUNCIL: AUGUST 2004 PLANNING MEETING
12867 SKATEBOARD PARK AT KINGS CHURCH, SYLVAN ROADLetters were received from Mr R.J. Parr, of 53 Buckwell, and Mrs M. Smith, of 54 Buckwell, complaining about the noise from the newly opened skateboard park at the Kings Church at the Blackdown Trading Estate (formerly Wellington Trading Estate) and asking if planning permission had been obtained for the skateboard park. An email was received from Taunton DBC West area planning manager, Mr J. Hamer, stating that the premises had the benefit of planning permission for a place of worship, community centre and storage and distribution of charitable goods. Because the use of part of the building for skateboarding would be within the same use class and the works were entirely within the building, his view was that planning permission was not needed. However he was seeking the views of the Deane’s solicitor to confirm that and would report back to the town council in due course. If planning permission was not needed and if noise was a problem for local residents, recourse would have to be made to the environmental health officer. It was stated that both letters had been sent to Taunton DBC. After some discussion it was agreed to send copies of the letters to the Kings Church and to ask for their comments.
THE MEETING CLOSED AT 6.48PM
