As part of the condition imposed at Reserve Matters, the Parish Council and Bloor Homes will commence meetings to agree the Parish Liaison Scheme which will include a cycle of monthly meetings as per Condition 5 of the decision taken. 

Condition 5 -  PARISH COUNCIL LIAISON SCHEME - Prior to commencement requirement for additional information.

Prior to commencement or site preparation whichever is the sooner:

A written Liaison Scheme shall be submitted to the local planning authority for its formal consideration and approval.

The Liaison Scheme shall include the following:

• A written commitment from the developer to hold regular meetings [virtual or face to face] with Thurston Parish Council [or its representatives] during the entire build programme. The frequency, attendance, scope, method of recording outcomes of such meetings to be agreed - but in any event no less frequently than once a month - after discussion between the developer, the Council as local planning authority and Thurston Parish Council.
• The purpose of such meetings is not only to provide a formal arena for the developer to keep the Parish Council informed as to progress with the build but to afford the Parish Council an opportunity to report complaints and/or complements from the Community about activity on site that may have caused issues, for the developer to then look into these matters, take such action as appropriate to resolve those issues and then report back to the Parish Council.
• The Liaison Meetings shall be operated such as to afford the Parish Council an opportunity to provide input and feedback into such matters as playground design and open space management. and, The District Council, as local planning authority shall be required to approve the Parish Council Liaison Statement in writing via an appropriate submission of detail application by the developer, where the content is considered satisfactory. Where such a Scheme has been approved in writing by the local planning authority the restriction on commencement und this condition is then lifted.

The developer shall implement the Parish Council Liaison Scheme as agreed.

Reason: The District Council's Development Control Committee welcomed the extensive degree to which the applicant had involved the local community in consultation and wishes this continue during the lifetime of the build. It is also conscious in some cases major development activity elsewhere in the District, including Thurston itself, has on occasion generated complaints of undue disturbance, congestion, mud on the road and more from local residents. Such complaints have at times also generated enforcement investigations which have exposed potential breaches of condition. Experience within the District has shown that sites being operated by developers that engage in regular dialogue during 'the build' with the relevant Parish Council/s tend to generate fewer serious complaints from residents as the liaison builds a better working relationship between those undertaking approved development and established communities around a site and assists in identifying possible conflict points earlier than otherwise might occur. This often affords the opportunity to identify and deliver solutions that avoid serious and avoidable tension within the community.

It is expected that the Liaison Meetings will commence in the Autumn of 2023.
