Application Notes:
The Town Council support the principle of the proposal and appreciates the need for such provision in the town. There are elements of the Management Plan, however, that members have great concern about with as well as planning concerns regarding the security of the site. The security plans needs to be more precise and increased to at least three members of staff (including one female) being on site all of the time. There is a lack of information regarding the training of the staff on site and concerns for the safety of females in the area. The proposed six entrances that would be left unguarded needs to be explained in greater detail. CCTV in the wider area was also an issue that members would like to see written within the report. If the management plan could be improved it may alleviate the large concerns of local residents in the vicinity of Coton Hill House. Members request that the case officer reviews the Management Plan for this application
