LOCKED AND FOR USE BY RESIDENTS ONLY From: Jonathan Kirby <kirbyjo@ealing.gov.uk> To: Stephen Albert Desmond <chelsea_avid@yahoo.com> Sent: Thursday, February 7, 2013 4:17 PM Subject: Re: Dear Mr. Kirby
Two points, Yes we will never enforce and the agreement will be at the sole discretion of the association. Secondly, I have never feedback on your previous points in emails around planning, which given the fist confirmation I have given is now arbitrary, however full planning consultation is not required for discharging planning conditions should in the future you ever be in a similar situation with regards to planning conditions on other planning applications. As agreed I will share the planning condition discharge information with the association but wanted to clarify the full planning consultation point

Hi Johnathan I am a bit concerned by your response as follows:

2. We will retain rights of access under the land transfer, but the council do not require the gate to be open access. Any agreements to the contrary, for example a member of staff meeting a school group and opening for a school group to come through and then locked again immediately after, will be made locally between the association and the preferred bidder, as per the discussion that evening much like the residents do with the gate for their access. But to be clear no open access of the gate is required

Can you confirm that you understand that any "agreement to the contrary" would be made locally between the preferred bidder and the association, at the discretion of The Residents Associations and that no such agreement can be forced upon the residents now or at any point in the future. Unless, you agree to this then we would require a full planning consultation process be launched, and an application be made to the planning committee. I also need to be crystal clear on this point in

the document I will be sending to the police. Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve, Firstly please call me Jonathan, and it was good to meet yourself as well. I have answered the points below in the same order as raised for ease 1) Ealing council are in the middle of our selection process for a preferred partner and will have made a decision in the coming weeks 2) We will retain rights of access under the land transfer, but the council do not require the gate to be open access. Any agreements to the contrary, for example a member of staff meeting a school group and opening for a school group to come through and then locked again immediately after, will be made locally between the association and the preferred bidder, as per the discussion that evening much like the residents do with the gate for their access. But to be clear no open access of the gate is required 3) The land transfer will reflect our retaining the right and outlining that we dont require open access of the gate, will send over info from agreement 4) Entrance will be moved correct, exact location to be confirmed but as close as possible to the pavilion, this may be the corner of the north face, to aid with lines of site and hard standing, but certainly away from the current location 5) We will retain rights of access but yes the need for cars etc to drive down this area will be negated by moving the gate 6) Linked to the above point, rights of access need to be maintained so we can cut the grass, service the fencing, floodlights, carry out litter picks etc but in operational terms, with the gate being closed as well, the practicality is that vehicles and people will not be going past the main entrance to the pavilion as in effect they will be going down a cul de sac 7) Again these points will be shared through our on-going consultation Speak soon Jonathan
