Mr Sharpe

Councillor Peter Smith, Deputy Leader

Plymstock Swimming Pool

 

Seeing nothing is happening at Sherford and Plymstock Residents have never voted for a swimming pool connected to Sherford when do Plymstock residents get plan B for a Plymstock Swimming Pool announced please.

 

Response:

The Sherford development has yet to commence but forms part of the strategic plans for Plymouth and South Hams.  It has effectively been voted on by Plymstock residents through the plans put to the electorate by the previous administration and by previous Planning Committees under the last Conservative Council.  A detailed Section 106 legal agreement reflects the requirements of the two Planning Committees for a swimming pool which would be delivered as part of that development.  If a planning application is received for another swimming pool in the Plymstock area then this would be considered on its own planning merits against the relevant Local Development Framework.

 

In the absence of the questioner, the question and response were circulated and a written response would be sent to Mr Sharpe.
