New Nursery

by **Epykat** » 01 Feb 2004, 21:51

Back again to the subject of planning!
Heard through the grapevine - since yet again we, as neighbours to a planned new development, were not informed by the Council or anybody else - that the new nursery on the site of the old garden centre will probably be going ahead. The day after this I walked down Bellfield Street to find a notice on a lampost outside the Church informing the residents of the plans! Correct me if I'm wrong but I really do think the people on the High Street (whose gardens back right onto the site) and the residents of Bellfield Lane (whose lives will once again be disrupted by MORE traffic) were maybe the ones to inform rather than people two streets away! Is this yet another developer trying to get permission by sneaking in the back door? Obviously nobody on the High Street will object because nobody on the High Street knew! Isn't there a wee man from the Council who comes round and checks that these notices have been put up in the proper place - or indeed that they haven't been removed before anyone has a chance to see them? I don't particularly have a problem with this Nursery (a two storey building and 60 children Monday-Friday) but the way they have gone about it really gets my back up.

We received a letter informing us of this new nursery a couple of months back

Regarding the new nursery in Bellfield Lane it is going ahead and will be open this autumn.
We can assure you that we followed the planning procedure for neighbour notification. All relevant properties were notified, including those on Portobello High Street.
I can only assume that your property is not on our boundary and the top of Bellfield Lane did not require to be notified.
It is the council who are responsible for putting signs up in the street, not the applicant.
Sorry to 'get your back up', we are not 'another developer trying to get permission by sneaking in the back door' and are pleased to have had our application granted for 60 children.

And we're pleased that something is being done with another empty site.

I agree - it probably was the Council getting it wrong again. Surely the people in Bellfield Lane should have been notified? I presume you will be using the lane to get into the back of the site and I can also put money on it that the people using your Nursery will be using Bellfield Lane to either park or drop off. There were definitely no public notices displayed on the High Street at this end and had we not heard through the grapevine about this development we wouldn't have known anything about it and were therefore not given the opportunity to object even it we'd wanted to.

Anybody know what's happening with this Nursery? We thought it was opening in the Autumn but nothing's been started on the site as yet. :?:

don't know anything formally but when I enquired about places at the nursery that's moving there, they thought it would be into the new year before it was built

I think the Nursery is a lovely idea.I would rather listen to 6o
happy little children than the hundreds of mating seagulls dont you agree? [/b]

OoooH. I remember when they were doing our walkway at work there was a real Diet Coke guy who had us so-called ladies getting all het up!! Especially as it was a hot summer ......... and he had to take his t-shirt off! :oops:

Great thing was that our drooling annoyed the heck of the [heterosexual] males in the place!!
