A time to tear down and a time to build.
(Ecclesiastes ch3 vs3)January 2010 Update:
Bovis seek review of "106 agreement" - infrastructure and community contributions.
Earliest start date May 2010 with significant further delay if new application goes to appeal!.
NEWSFLASH 6 January 2009 - Developer Bovis have issued a new "Outline Planning Application" for the whole development! PT09/6091/O -(nb the last letter is O for oscar)
This application must be determined within 16 weeks from Dec 29th 2009.
The core of the application is the same as the original application approved in March 2008. There are a few significant changes to the draft Heads of Terms.
These significant changes are:
1. Reduction of affordable housing from 33% to 25% of dwelling total.
2. Changes to trigger dates for highway completion
3. Reduced contribution to Community facilities- no new Community Building on the development site
4. No upgrade of Cribbs M/way junction
5. Construction of new primary School subject to review.
Local district councillors must consider whether to support such changes. We shall know within 16 weeks from 29th Dec 2009!
The construction of the link road, (from A38 near royal Mail to Mall), due to commence January 2010 may now be delayed until a decision on the new application is reached.
Link Road - delay
Developer Bovis has a £12 million Regional Funding loan to build the new road infrastructure.
Work on the major A38 junction + link road should have started Jan 2010 and completed by end of 2010.
However, an entirely new link road completion date may now be set as part of the new “outline plan” talks.

And.... farewell to the East Works (demolition photo right) now destined to become a light industrial Park. (update 27th Oct 2009) The original developers "Prologic Ltd" who submitted detailed plan back in 2007 have pulled out. No other developer is currenty interested. Land owners Rolls Royce Ltd have demolished the East Works to avoid Business Tax on empty properties.
The ex-East works is down for mixed business use (eg light industry + perhaps a hotel) not housing.Residents are welcome to speak at Town Council meetings, please contact Town Clerk: email: clerk@patchwaytowncouncil.gov.uk Tel:01454 868 530

2) New Patchway Post Office - (Update Oct 2009)
The new Post Office will NOT be at the Parade shops. There will be a new Crown Post Office but the exact location is a commercial decision.
The latest info (Oct 27th) suggests the process of finding a new location has stalled!. The chances of a new P.O. before Christmas appear slim! Lease negotiations must take into account the Post Office Counters very particular requirements, not least the installation of security measures at any new premises.
Post Office counters Ltd have said they would consider setting up a "temporary" P.O. at the Parade shops if all else fails.
