Dear Jason Dugdale,
Freedom of Information Act 2000
Thank you for your request for information dated 27 July 2020 which the Council received by
email. You have requested the following information:
1. Please provide copies of all correspondence including any crime impact assessment,
planning statement and officer report, emails between officers and applicants relating to
planning application 19/00371/FUL 2.4m perimeter fencing around Longdendale
Community College.
2. Please confirm whether the application was advertised as a 'Departure' and provide
copies of the site notice and the newspaper advertisement.
I am pleased to advise that the Council can provide the following to your request:
*Please note I have numbered your request for ease:
1. Please find attached all copies of officer correspondence as requested. Any other
documentation submitted in relation to this planning application is available on our website
here:
https://publicaccess.tameside.gov.uk/online-applications/
2. It was not advertised as a departure because policy OL3 of the UDP identifies Longdendale
School as a major developed site within the Green Belt. This same policy permits ‘limited
infilling’ subject to compliance with several criteria. The proposals were considered to be in
the spirit of this policy thus not a Departure from the Development Plan.
If you have any queries about this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please quote the reference number 870389 in any future communications.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to
make a complaint or request a review of the Council's decision, you may do so within 40
working days of the date of this response. Please write to Sandra J Stewart, Borough Solicitor,
at PO BOX 317, Ashton under Lyne, OL6 0GS.
If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, you may apply directly to the
Information Commissioner for a decision. The Commissioner cannot normally make a decision
unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the CCG. The Information
Commissioner can be contacted at The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House,
Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF and at
www.ico.org.uk.
Yours sincerely,
Martyn Leigh
Development Manager Planning
