  3. Belmont Rural Parish Council Overwhelmingly Object to the Lidl Planning Application

    in Planning

    This application relates to the Tesco premises in Belmont, lying on the south-western
    fringes of Hereford. It seeks planning permission for a temporary storage container to
    be sited each year from November to January. It is proposed that it be located on land
    within the delivery yard to the north-west of the superstore, which is accessed from
    Abbotsmead Road. It would have an area of 28sqm, stand 2.7m tall and comprise the
    appearance of a shipping container albeit be internally fitted out as a refrigeration unit.
    A previous application (073649/F), for the installation of two temporary refrigerated
    storage units, was refused on the grounds of highway safety.

    Relevant Site History: 073649/F - Installation of two temporary refrigerated storage
    units – Refused on 21st December 2007

    DELEGATED DECISION REPORT APPLICATION NUMBER 214561
    Tesco Supermarket, Abbots Mead Road, Belmont, Hereford, HR2 7XS

    Some comments from the above report well worth a read.

    Transportation –
    No highways objections – no conditions required

    Environmental Health Officer –
    I would advise that over the years we have had numerous complaints from local
    residents about noise caused by various sources at this supermarket. This premises
    is in a very sensitive location being located at very close proximity to residential
    development. The positioning of these temporary refrigeration units provides another
    possible source for the generation of unacceptable noise whilst they are in position. I
    note from neighbour representations that this has been raised as a concern and I
    would concur with this view. There is no mention in the application as to what level of
    noise will be generated or as to how any unacceptable levels will be mitigated. I would
    therefore recommend that this application is refused unless an acoustic survey is
    provided that demonstrates what level of noise will be produced and if this level is
    unacceptable what mitigation measures will be put in place to ensure that noise from
    them will be adequately controlled. I would recommend that the acoustic survey uses
    the methodology provided by BS 4142:2014 Methods for Rating and Assessing
    Industrial and Commercial Noise (as amended A1:2019), however it should also
    specifically consider low frequency noise and vibration.

    _________________________________________________

    If Tesco couldn't put two temporary containers on their site, I can't see how the council can approve a 
    large supermarket just down the road.

    This is interesting. The council should refuse this, got to be most crazy idea this year

  17. Unsafe Building in Hereford

    in Hereford City

    Posted

    Samuel Frankland entered a guilty plea when he appeared in court in Worcester.

    He hit and damaged the Tattoo Parlour while behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Polo in Hereford's St Owen Street on December but failed to stop.

    He was fined just £450 and received eight penalty points. He must also pay costs of £110 and a £45 victim surcharge. How does £45 ever cover the damage that he caused!
