Here are the planning applications for Beaconsfield for the week ending March 5th

RESIDENTS living alongside the A40 at Holtspur are bracing themselves for more noise, dust and vibration after Springfield Farm landfill site won on appeal permission to increase lorry journeys by 90 per day.

THE CONTROVERSIAL decision six months ago to burn waste from Bucks outside the county in the future has hit problems and the county council is having to put the job back out to tender.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE County Council (BCC) has claimed that it is "pulling out all the stops" to ease the area's pothole problem, despite the continued anger of residents.
The unforeseen harsh winter weather, especially that which took place in late December and early January, took a huge toll on the road s in the area, with deep potholes appearing in numerous roads in the county.

FRESH attempts are being made to get coach drivers to slow down as they hurtle pass hundreds of children walking to schools in Beaconsfield.

The town's Neighbourhood Action Group has taken up the cause following complaints by parents who are "scared" by the speed at which coaches dropping pupils at The Beaconsfield School and Beaconsfield High School are driving along Wattleton Road.

This is a list of planning applications registered with South Bucks District Council during the week ended 29th January 2010. Many of these applications will not be heard at Planning Committee, but, rather, will be decided by Officers under the Scheme of Delegation operated by the Council.

THE LIBRARY at Beaconsfield is to be expanded and its stock of books increased.

THE BIG thaw that has taken place this week has revealed the true extent of the county's pothole problems.
Heavy snow in December, followed by even more at the beginning of January, has caused huge and dangerous potholes to emerge on roads throughout Bucks, to the horror of drivers.
