3.2	Matters arising
	Cllr Tomblin noted that he has met with BDBC officers in Bramley to help give them a view of some of the issues that Bramley Village is dealing with. The meeting was a tour in and around Bramley, and took in the morning rush hour period. Issues highlighted were traffic at the level crossing, the length of time the barriers are down, children crossing Sherfield Road and The Street to get to school, parking down the side roads, and the lack of suitability of the side roads as a main diversion route when the barriers are down.
4	Planning & Development
4.1	New Applications
a.	20/00120/HSE - 12 Longbridge Road Bramley Ground floor extension to provide accommodation for a disabled person No objection unanimously agreed. Clerk to process.	*Clerk*
b.	Any other new applications 20/00331/GPDADW - Land At Latchmere Green Latchmere Green Little London Notification of proposed change of use of Agricultural Building to Class C3 dwellinghouse Cllrs noted the following The application is still quoting two different postcodes. The agricultural condition has now been removed. The proposed site is on a known flood plain. The previous application for a dwelling was refused for permitted development. Cllrs felt that the claim of a ‘reduction in traffic’ was spurious, as a dwelling is likely to have more traffic than an agricultural building. Cllrs felt that the application was contrary to Local Plan policy SS6 on new housing in the Countryside. The exterior will change substantially with the installation of doors and windows, and should need a separate planning application (as per the recent Minchens Barn application). Objection as outlined above unanimously agreed – Clerk to process.	*Clerk*
4.2	Approvals/Refusals/Pending (see appendix A) – these were noted.
5.	Planning Appeals
5.1	19/01467/FUL – Land West of Cufaude Lane Bramley This application for the formation of an access track and associated works, was refused by BDBC in August 2019. It is related to 17/00942/FUL, for which the multiple appeals were dismissed. The appeal has now been heard. Three main areas were considered: the effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area whether or not it has been demonstrated that access to Cufaude Lane would be safe and suitable whether or not the scheme would be acceptable with regard to flooding vulnerability. The Inspector concluded that there were significant issues with each of the three areas, and dismissed the appeal.
6.	Proposed development at Tudor Farm site
	A public exhibition was held on 30^th October 2019. 70 - 80 residents attended the exhibition, and there was a strong Parish Council presence as well. Feedback received by Councillors was that most attending residents were against the proposed development. Residents have been very vocal by email, sending in their opposition to the developer and to both the Borough and Parish Council. There is no validated planning application as yet. The Clerk has checked with BDBC, who are not aware of any incoming planning application. POST MEETING NOTE – an application has now been submitted, and may be viewed on the BDBC website here: https://planning.basingstoke.gov.uk/online-applications - the application number is 20/00319/FUL
7.	SHELAA Information Event
	A date of Saturday 15^th February has been set for a Bramley PC Open Day on the Strategic Housing and economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA). The purpose of the event is to update and engage with residents on the sites that have been put forward in the SHELAA. The event has been well advertised, with an article in the Parish magazine, posters around the Parish and in key locations such as the village shop, the bakery, the surgery, etc, and info on the PC website and social media. All Councillors have been encouraged to attend. The event is from 10.00 - 4.00.
8.	Water Issues
9.1	Update on sewerage issues – no further update at this time. There is some supplementary information that needs to be forwarded to BDBC.
9.2	Update on surface water issues Razors Farm– Cllr Tomblin stated that the pipe under the road has been unblocked which has alleviated road flooding problem. However, the balancing pond issue has not yet been addressed. Cllr Tomblin is chasing. Centenary Fields – Cllr Tomblin has met with the developer’s surface water engineer and pointed out the issue with the ditch. The ditch has now been re-dug and is working well.	*Cllr Tomblin*
10.	Minchens Lane s.106 issues
	Cllr Tomblin has chased Sue Tarvit at BDBC for an update. A reply is awaited.
11.	Date of Next Meeting

The application states that businesses did not do well – however, this is contrary to local knowledge – the hairdresser particularly did well. This was noted in the response to the previous application. Members noted the vagueness of the application form details on sewage and water supply.

Bramley Sewerage, April 2019

2019-05-03T13:38:48+01:00

Below you will find the online copy of a letter written on behalf of Bramley Parish Council by Cllr. Malcolm Bell, in which concerns have been raised about the sewage & waste infrastructure within the Parish. A downloadable version of the letter can be found at the bottom of the document.

Bramley Parish Council is very concerned that the Sewerage Infrastructure and Waste water disposal is insufficient to cope with the increase in housing in Bramley. Recently permission has been given for 200 houses on Minchens Lane ( now in the final stages of completion), 50 houses on the Land North of Sherfield Road ( Houses started building ) and the 65 houses on the land South of the Street and the corner of Cufaude Lane ( Initial houses built).

We will examine each site individually and the comments and approval given to progress with these houses.

1) 200 houses at Minchens Lane. 14/01075/OUT

Planning was agreed at Committee on the 3^rd December, 2014 and conditions applied.

Condition 15 was concerned with surface water drainage and Condition 16 the sewerage system. Condition 16 stated:-

“No development approved by this permission shall be commenced until a detailed scheme for the improvement of the existing sewerage system has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local authority. The scheme shall be implemented as approved. No occupation of dwellings approved by this permission shall occur until the scheme for improvement of the existing sewage system has been completed.

REASON: Ensure sufficient capacity is made available to cope with the new development and there is no detrimental impact on water quality arising from changes in quality/quantity of treated sewage discharges. The sewerage service provider has highlighted existing sewer capacity issues within the vicinity of the proposed development.

This was as a result of the Consultees letter from Thames Water.

Phase 1 was started and completed, 57 houses, with this hanging over the development.

Phase 2:-
For phase 2 of this development, 54 dwellings, then Thames water as Consultees made comments on the 7^th November 2016 and the 6^th April 2017 confirming the concern about the capacity of the Sewerage Infrastructure:-

Waste Comments:-Following initial investigation, Thames Water has identified an inability of the existing waste water infrastructure to accommodate the needs of this application. Should the Local Planning Authority look to approve the application, Thames Water would like the following 'Grampian Style' condition imposed. "Development shall not commence until a drainage strategy detailing any on and/or off site drainage works, has been submitted to and approved by, the local planning authority in consultation with the sewerage undertaker. No discharge of foul or surface water from the site shall be accepted into the public system until the drainage works referred to in the strategy have been completed".

REASON:- The development may lead to sewage flooding; to ensure that sufficient capacity is made available to cope with the new development; and in order to avoid adverse environmental impact upon the community. Should the Local Planning Authority consider the above recommendation is inappropriate or are unable to include it in the decision notice, it is important that the Local Planning

Authority liaises with Thames Water Development Control Department (telephone 0203 577 9998) prior to the Planning Application approval.

Supplementary Comments

WASTEWATER: A sewer impact study (SMG 1294 G4027) was completed in October 2014 and concluded that network improvements are required to accommodate the whole site consisting of 200 new dwellings. The applicant is requested to contact Thames Water Developer Services to agree a drainage strategy for the whole site, as well as agreeing a strategy for each phase.

The Officers report stated in recommending approval for this phase: - Requires a drainage strategy

Phase 3:- Only 6 houses, no Thames water consultation!

Phase 4:-
This is the final phase for 83 dwellings and again Thames water consultees made the following comment on the 14^th May, 2018 :-

Waste Comments: - Following initial investigations, Thames Water has identified an inability of the existing foul water network infrastructure to accommodate the needs of this development proposal. Thames Water have contacted the developer in an attempt to agree a phasing and infrastructure strategy for foul water but have been unable to do so in the time available and as such Thames Water request that the following condition be added to any planning permission. No properties shall be occupied until confirmation has been provided that either:-all wastewater network upgrades required to accommodate the additional flows from the development have been completed; or-a housing and infrastructure phasing plan has been agreed with Thames Water to allow additional properties to be occupied. Where a housing and infrastructure phasing plan is agreed no occupation shall take place other than in accordance with the agreed housing and infrastructure phasing plan.

REASON: -The development may lead to sewage flooding and network reinforcement works are anticipated to be necessary to ensure that sufficient capacity is made available to accommodate additional flows anticipated from the new development. Any necessary reinforcement works will be necessary in order to avoid sewer flooding and/or potential pollution incidents.” The developer can request information to support the discharge of this condition by visiting the Thames Water website https://developers.thameswater.co.uk/Developing-a-large-site/Planning-your-development. Should the Local Planning Authority consider the above recommendation inappropriate or are unable to include it in the decision notice, it is important that the Local Planning Authority liaises with Thames Water Development Planning Department (telephone 0203 577 9998) prior to the planning application approval

Bramley Parish Council was in touch with Thames water in the production of the Neighbourhood Plan and the contact we had was a Mark Matthews, the Local and Regional Government Liaison Officer. In questioning him about the comments from Thames Water Consultees, he started preparing a model for Bramley with the proposed developments, and a conclusion they came to was that an “upgrade to the drainage network would be required to support the additional wastewater flows from all developments proposed in the Bramley Area”. This was in an e mail from him in January, 2018. Subsequently Mark has moved on and his position taken up by Cyril Mitkov who we are in communication with, but correspondence is slow.

The discharge of Condition 16 associated with 14/01075/OUT was given in a letter dated 4^th February, 2016. This discharge was given on the basis that the development should proceed in accordance with approved details given in the “Sewer Impact Study” date received 27^th November, 2015. A statement in the letter said “development should not commence until ALL pre-commencement conditions have been discharged”.

The Sewer Impact Study from “Thames Water” says in paragraph

5.3. Sewerage Network improvements required for the proposed development

There is not adequate capacity in the existing network to accept the proposed development flows and therefore improvements are required to the existing network.

Two options were provided in the study to accommodate the development and the conclusion was

7.0. Conclusion

Based on the analysis of the hydraulic model with and without the development flows, the proposed development at Minchens Lane will reduce existing levels of service within the foul sewer network downstream of the development.Two potential locations for the outline solution have been identified within the report to allow for the development to connect to the network while maintaining the existing level of service.

These are recommendations to Thames Water Utilities and may be altered/added to based on local operational knowledge of the system.

Another report by Odyssey Markides for Persimmon Homes dated 22^nd April, 2016 stated under the section on

“Proposed Foul Water Drainage Strategy”

3.3. Following the undertaking of a Sewer Impact Study, Thames Water has concluded that improvement works will be required to the existing system to ensure that the system’s capacity is retained once the foul flows from the proposed development are concluded.

We, Bramley Parish Council, have no confidence that the upgrade to the sewerage infrastructure referred to has been met and we therefore consider that Bramley residents are under threat of sewage overspill.

Looking further, this is just considering the 200 houses at Minchens Lane and further developments which have been approved and are ongoing with Conditions imposed associated with the Sewerage Infrastructure.

(Sewer Impact Study. SMG1294. G4027. Proposed Development at Minchens Lane, Bramley)

2) 50 houses on the Land North of Sherfield Road

Condition 18 in accepting the Outline Planning for 15/02708/OUT states:-

No development approved by this permission shall be commenced until a detailed scheme for the improvement of the existing sewer system has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority…….

REASON: - The sewerage service provider has highlighted existing sewer capacity issues within the vicinity of the proposed development. Improvements to the localities sewerage infrastructure may be required in order to accommodate the development without exacerbating capacity issues within the area.

Officers Report Stated:-

DRAINAGE: - Thames water has identified sewer capacity issues with regards to the proposed development. In this regard their comments duplicate those made in their consultation response to the Outline application made under 14/01075/OUT (Minchens Lane). In that instance Thames water requested a condition that required the submission of a Drainage Strategy to be approved prior to the commencement of works on the site. Such a condition was imposed on the permission relating to 14/01075/OUT and therefore it is not necessary to repeat this condition at this reserved matters stage.

20^th February, 2018. Letter to Development Control from BCTAdmin, Thames Water.

Ref Land to the North of Sherfield Road, Bramley, RG26. 18/00099/RES

Waste Comments:-

With the information provided Thames Water has been unable to determine the waste water infrastructure needs for this application. Should the Local Planning Authority look to approve the application ahead of further information being provided, we request the following Grampian Style condition be applied_ “Development shall not commence until a Drainage Strategy detailing any on and/off site drainage works has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in consultation with the sewerage undertaker.

REASON:- The development may lead to sewage flooding; to ensure that sufficient capacity is made available to cope with the new development and to avoid adverse environmental impact on the community.

Letter from M Townsend on the application ref Sewage Capacity, ref 18/03479/EN10, ref the Land North of Sherfield Road, said that the pre-application was being considered...

This development is downstream from the development at Minchens Lane. The strategy that was recommended to apply to Minchens lane as regards the improvement in the infrastructure has to apply. Again we are not confident that this improvement has been made, and as this improvement was just for 200 houses, what further additional improvement is required to cope with a further 50 houses??

CONDITION 18 as far as we can see has not been met.

3) Land Adjacent the Street, Bramley, RG26 5DE. 15/02682/OUT for 65 houses

Permission given for the development subject to Condition 29 being met, ref sewerage infrastructure:-

Condition 29:- Development shall not commence until a drainage strategy detailing any on and/or off site drainage works has been submitted to and approved by the local Planning Authority in consultation with the sewerage undertaker. No discharge of foul or surface water from the site shall be accepted into the public system until the drainage works referred to in the strategy have been complete.

REASON: The development may lead to sewage flooding; to ensure that sufficient capacity is made available to cope with the new development and in order to avoid adverse environmental impact upon the community.

JUST A REPEAT OF ALL THE OTHER CONDITIONS APPLIED TO THE ABOVE APPLICATIONS WRT SEWAGE INFRASTRUCTURE.

The discharge of condition 29 was given by Thames water on the 3^rd October, 2018. This was on the basis that details of site drainage works, as laid down in drawing ref 41476/2004/003- revision P4 dated 18.04.18 are adhered to. This includes that no surface water flows will be discharged to the public sewer and foul water flows will connect via gravity to the 225mm foul sewer in The Street.

A report by Peter Brett concerning the discharge of Condition 29 gives the information concerning the onsite drainage system and the point of discharge into the main sewer in The Street.

The reports that accompany the Discharge of Condition 29 and are on record are:-

a) Report by Peter Brett Associates, including plans 41476/2004/003 (RevisionP4) and 40476/2004/004(Revision 004)

Date 10^th May 2018, received 31^st August 2018

b) Technical Approval from Thames Water.

Ref; DS6052110.

Date 28^th August 2018, Received 6^th September 2018.

c) Build Schedule. Date 26^th August 2018. Received 2^nd October 2018

d) Build Routes 1 and 2. Received 2^nd October 2018.

These reports cover the connection to the sewer and the site layout of sewage pipes. There is no reference to the improvements to the overall Sewerage Infrastructure referred to in the applications for the 200 houses on Minchens Lane and the 50 houses on the Land North of Sherfield Road which lie DOWNSTREAM of this development.

Without the improvements to the Sewerage Infrastructure highlighted in the Sewage Survey conducted by Thames Water, which we do not believe have been completed, then there is in our opinion going to be a sewage overflow when all the houses, 315 in total are completed.

In giving planning permission, the individual sites are assessed on an individual basis and no consideration appears to be given as to the overall impact that the total number of additional houses is going to have on the community, in this case with respect to the disposal of foul water.

Bramley Parish Council, who is there to ensure that the community of Bramley have a good quality of life and that the infrastructure across the board is in place to ensure that happens, are concerned that we as a community are going to have sewage overspill because the associated infrastructure is insufficient to cope. We want assurance from Basingstoke and Deane and Thames Water that this is not going to be the case so that we can circulate that assurance to the whole of the community.

That not being the case, as a body elected to protect and improve the community as regards their quality of life, we will publish our concerns to the community. As a Parish we spent hours drawing up a NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN to ensure that the Vision for Bramley is met in the coming years:

In 2029 Bramley will be an attractive village with a strong historic character, an unspoiled rural setting, excellent and conveniently located community facilities, a range of high quality homes fulfilling local needs, safe and convenient access to transport services and green spaces, and good opportunities for locally base employment.

We look forward to a response from Basingstoke and Deane addressing our concerns with the assurances we seek.

Best regards

Malcolm Bell,
Bramley Parish Councillor
On Behalf of Bramley Parish Council.

Making a complaint about a potential planning breach

2019-05-03T18:07:08+01:00

As defined on the Basingstoke and Deane Planning Enforcement website:

“Planning Laws are designed to control the development and use of land and buildings in the public interest.

The planning enforcement team is concerned with resolving serious breaches of planning control, not with neighbour disputes or minor residential developments that have little or no adverse impact on the public. There has to be significant harm to public amenity, safety or the environment generally.”

More information about Planning Enforcement can be found at:

https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/planning-enforcement

Present:	Cllr Chris Flooks (Chair)	Cllr Malcolm Bell
	Cllr Chris Tomblin	Cllr Alan Munday
In attendance:	Maxta Thomas (Clerk)	2 members of the public
Apologies:	Cllr Nick Robinson (Borough)

		*Action*
1	Apologies for Absence
	As listed above.
2	Declarations of Interest
	Cllr Munday declared an interest in item 4.1.b, and took no part in the discussion or decision on that item.
3	Minutes of the Last Planning Committee Meeting
3.1	The minutes of the Planning Committee meeting held on 13^th March 2019 were unanimously agreed and signed off by the Chairman.
3.2	Matters arising
	None.
4	Planning & Development
4.1	New Applications
a.	19/00700/HSE - The Stables Cufaude Courtyard Cufaude Lane Bramley Erection of part single storey, part two storey front extension. Erection of part single-storey with balconies above and part two-storey extension to rear Objections unanimously agreed as below: Balconies will overlook neighbouring property Front extension design is out of keeping with both this property and neighbouring properties. Rear extension – upper storey windows will overlook neighbouring property. Rooflights will increase from 1 to 5, which will increase light pollution, and are not in keeping with a previous rural setting. Clerk to process.	*Clerk*
b.	18/03133/RET - 8 Pheabens Field Bramley Change of use from open space to residential land including the erection of outbuilding and fencing The following points were made by the applicant: The original garage needed replacing due to asbestos etc. The applicant spoke with neighbour about their plans before beginning any work, and they had no objection prior to the changes. There appears to be a boundary dispute, although the location plan does show that the changes are within the owner’s curtilage. Before the changes there was room for one small car to park. Now two cars can park easily. After some discussion, no objection was unanimously agreed. Clerk to process.	*Clerk*
c.	New applications 19/00857/HSE - 27 Farriers Close Bramley Erection of single storey rear extension following demolition of conservatory No objection unanimously agreed.	*Clerk*
4.2	Approvals/Refusals/Pending (see appendix A) – these were noted. The approval for the Minchens Barn application was noted, and concern was expressed that that the Neighbourhood Plan does not appear to have been considered in this instance. A letter of complaint to BDBC on the issue was suggested.
5.	Planning Appeals
a.	17/00942/FUL - Land Adjacent To The Oaks Cufaude Lane Bramley and associated applications The appeal was heard at BDBC offices last week. No final decision was made, and there will be a further appeal hearing in September. Cllrs noted that sight lines were discussed, and how one oak tree in particular was causing some concern. Cllr Tomblin and Clerk are looking at obtaining a TPO on the remaining trees.	*Cllr Tomblin/ Clerk*
b.	18/03304/FUL - The Upper Barn, Middle Barn And South Barn Minchens Court Minchens Lane Bramley The Parish Council submission has been entered via the planning portal. There is no date as yet for the appeal to be heard. It should be noted that application 19/00373/FUL for the same site was approved at the last DC meeting at BDBC.
c.	18/03184/HSE - 6 Churchlands Bramley The appeal for this application was dismissed. The main issues were the effect of the appeal proposal upon the character and appearance of the Churchlands street scene; and upon the living conditions of the occupants of 5 Churchlands, with specific reference to outlook.
6.	Update on sewerage for new developments
	Cllr Bell has summarised the current position, and plans to submit this to planning officers at BDBC, as well as the Ward Councillors and the Portfolio Holder. The text was unanimously agreed. It should also be sent to Thames Water. A covering email should also mention that BDBC officers do not appear to have followed up on planning conditions. Clerk to put on headed paper and send.	*Clerk*
7.	Neighbourhood Plan Review working group
	The Parish Magazine article has resulted in a few responses. A further item is to be placed in the next issue of the parish magazine. i. Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) The map for Bramley was reviewed. It will be published in the Parish Magazine and on the PC website. Clerk to take forward.	*Clerk*
8.	S.106
a.	Minchens Lane development The lockable bollard at the footbridge has been vandalised and allowed access to a vehicle, which exited Clift Meadow at the pub car park. BDBC have confirmed that there are no plans to replace the original wooden posts by the pub car park. Therefore, temporary posts will be placed in the next day or two, with plans to make a more permanent barrier later on. A more robust bollard for the bridge is being investigated. Concerns have been raised that the new path and footbridge have not yet received a certificate of completion. Given that the responsibility for maintenance will rest with the Parish Council, BDBC has been notified of this, with a query as to whether the bridge and path should be closed until is all made secure and properly completed. The Clerk continues to liaise with BDBC re the St James Park playground. Main junction into the site is also causing problems with people ignoring the priorities. Cllr Flooks to write to Highways highlighting the issue. Staggered barriers at the Doctors surgery are still required.	*Cllr Flooks*
b.	Borough Council enquiries Councillors and the Clerk met with officers at BDBC to discuss the issues. Since 2014, the s.106 rules have been tightened up, which means the use of such funds is now very specific. It is very unlikely that funds earmarked for one use (such as open spaces) could be used for something else (such as community facilities). A number of s.106 opportunities were discussed: Car parking contribution - this is showing at £161k. This was the sum earmarked for resurfacing work at Clift Meadow. The work has now been carried out, so BDBC need to clarify if they are going to receive any of these funds. The likely answer is no. Community Facilities contribution – this sits at £197k as received, and is earmarked for work on the Village Hall drainage and car parking. The Clerk has put the Trustees directly in touch with the relevant officer at BDBC. Play and open space contributions - just under £2k is available towards the play park at Clift Meadow, and a LIF application is being progressed to support the proposed works. Football club allocation – this is towards a reduced scope of works that do not include provision of a community/function hall. The works are for the changing rooms and kitchenette and serving hatch. The club are working on securing external funding from NGB which will look to match fund the s.106. The investment in this club will balance the loss at Sherfield Park of one set of changing facilities to ensure future provision is not lost.
9.	Date of Next Meeting
	The date of the next Planning Committee meeting will be on 15^th May 2019 Meeting closed at 8.49pm.

f.	19/00483/HSE - 6 Churchlands Bramley Erection of a garage extension with accommodation above and dormer windows Objections unanimously agreed as below: The Committee noted the refusal for planning application 18/03184/HSE – the proposed garage extension in this application is smaller, but the same issues still apply, to a lesser degree. Clerk to restate original objection pertaining to this part of the application. Members would like to see barn hipping on the end nearest the boundary fence to soften the outline. Given that application number 18/03718/HSE was granted, this additional application even its reduced form is considered over development of the site. Clerk to process.	*Clerk*

Therefore, objections were unanimously agreed as follows: Conservation issues as noted in refusal for 16/04519/FUL The Neighbourhood Plan has now been made (which it had not at the time of the previous application). This application is contrary to the Neighbourhood Plan. The application is contrary to policies H1 and H2 of the Bramley Neighbourhood Plan, and policy SS6 of the Local Plan, as it lies outside the Settlement Policy Boundary, and there is no demonstrated local need. The application is contrary to policy EM2 of the Local Plan, as it lies within the strategic gap. Clerk to process.	*Clerk* *Clerk*

Details to be placed on the Parish Council website and social media.	*Clerk*
7.	Update on waste water provision for new developments
	No update at present.
8.	Neighbourhood Plan Review working group
	Cllr Bell proposed that a working group should be formed to review the Neighbourhood Plan in line with emerging policies from BDBC, in preparation for the next Local Plan, due in 2029. Unanimously agreed to be a good idea – referred to full council for more debate. Cllr Flooks to add item to parish magazine article. Clerk to enquire when sites for 2029 are to be considered.	*Cllr Flooks* *Clerk*
9.	Contractor issues at development sites
	The Clerk has been working with both BDBC and developers to alleviate some of the issues, particularly with parking in Farriers Close. There appears to have been a measure of success, and the situation is being monitored.
10.	S.106
	a. Minchens Lane development Lockable bollards have now been placed at the access bridge from St James Park to Clift Meadow, although these do not appear to be particularly strong. Hedge planting has also been done near the pub. However, there is no sign of bollards at the pub preventing vehicular access, nor are there barriers yet at the footpath exit from Clift Meadow onto The Street. The Clerk is liaising with both BDBC and developers to get this work completed. The Clerk continues to liaise with BDBC re the St James Park playground.	*Clerk* *Clerk*
