We briefly discussed the recent early Saturday work,” he continued.<br/>“Moving forward, if weekend works are necessary, strict adherence to times outlined will be followed. <br/>“Any disruptive works or weekend work required will be communicated to local residents in advance. <br/>“Morgan Construction reassured everyone that it prides itself on the positive relationships they have had with surrounding communities in other developments and that weekend work is generally avoided.”<br/>Also discussed was the retaining wall at the rear of plots 1-13 and the possibility of continuing this and changing the back garden layout to avoid terraced gardens; with Morgan Construction noting that a 1.8-metre-high close board fence will be installed on top of the retaining wall, mitigating any privacy concerns for the existing properties on the Whitlow Estate. <br/>Cllr Williams also moved to clarify other concerns that had been raised, confirming that the nearby primary school will be able to quite easily accommodate 100 extra pupils; and that the village’s doctor’s surgery, which currently has just under 10,000 patients, with the capacity ratio for the staff and size allowing the facility to accept patients from the three new development sites in the village, as they will be in the catchment area.<br/>“Personally having grown up on Whitlow, there has been talk regarding building on these fields for nearly 30 years. If any resident has any concern please look at the Local Development Plan information on PCNPA’s website,” he added.<br/>")
