APPENDIX D Attached sheet: The following notes are to be read in conjunction with Mr & Mrs Watt’s objection to the licence application on the Recreation Field in Salcombe Regis (Application no: 035154) Prevention of crime and disorder: The site is rural and adjacent to unfenced woodland which provides ideal hiding places for those persons who may be intent on mischief. It is also very difficult terrain to ‘Police’. Coupled with the comments made below, we believe that if this license is approved, the operators must be asked to pay for a comprehensive police presence throughout the entire programme. Public Safety: The approach road is an unclassified lane which has no pavements, is unlit and is narrow. If the event attracts as many people as is has done in previous years this will produce obvious danger to those accessing and egressing the site, particularly after dark. The field itself has inadequate access for high volume vehicle movements and thus on-site car parking will need to be very carefully controlled. There is no other car parking in the immediate vicinity, and no bus lay-by nearby (should buses and coaches be used). This will cause danger and inconvenience to other road users and people walking to/from the site. Prevention of Public Nuisance: Salcombe Regis is an extremely quiet hamlet. The residents like it that way and we chose to move here from the urban bustle of Berkshire because of this. If this application is approved, it will effectively turn the hamlet into a night club for a complete week. It is totally out of character and should be refused on this ground alone. When the licensing committee consider what noise levels constitute a public nuisance they must surely take into account what is the norm for the immediate area. We can assure you it is VERY quiet here at night which is just the way we like it. The duration of this proposed event and the extremely late hours of (a) music and (b) “refreshment” as proposed will give the residents of Salcombe Regis no respite for a complete week and must surely qualify as a public nuisance? It is worth drawing attention to the extra hours requested for “Refreshments”. To facilitate this, generators will have to be running, lights on site will still be shining and people will be coming and going until dawn. This might not be as noisy as the music, but will still cause a significant nuisance to the nearby residents. There is no mention of a noise limit imposition in the application so it seems to us that the operator, if approved would literally be able to amplify the music to whatever level he sees fit. The way forward?: 104
APPENDIX D 1. We are hoping that the Licensing Authority will see the overwhelming case against this application and refuse it outright so that a more suitable location can be found. IF not, the following restrictions will serve to reduce the impact on our hamlet. 2. share this site with another location in Sidmouth so as to limit the event to say 2 days 3. Insist that either the music is not amplified (and similarly, the announcements) or impose a very low and strict decibel limit. 4. Reduce the finishing time for the music to 11.30pm and the site activities stop by Midnight (and do not start until 2.00pm) 5. Insist the operators pay for a proper police presence throughout the entire programme. 6. Provide a 24/7 telephone number for complaints should noise levels or nuisance become intolerable. If the music doesn’t shut down when it is supposed to, the residents need to be able to take action at that time. I do hope that these points can be fully taken into account as I shall not be able to attend the hearing in person. 35. Mrs K Wells, Ruan House, Cliff Road, Sidmouth, EX10 8JN Hearing Unnecessary No Attending Yes Represented by Mr Graham Keen Ruan House, Cliff Road, EX10 8JN Supporting documents No Summary of key points Yes Prevention of Crime and Disorder There is a heightened risk of opportunist burglary and damage to private property. Public Safety Much of the route between proposed campsite and its events in the town will be on very steep, narrow, unlit roads with no footpath or verge to escape traffic which also will use the same routs. Prevention of Public Nuisance Residents walking their dogs at Salcombe Hill regularly and summer visitors will not be able to use the car park which will be “taken over” by Folk Protection of Children from Harm Weekers trying to avoid paying site fees. Difficulty in protecting children from harm particularly after dark with such a densely wooded area with so many access/escape routes. 36. Dr W Janes, Flat 1, Heatherby, Southway, Sidmouth, EX10 8JL Hearing Unnecessary No Attending Yes Represented by N/a Supporting documents No Summary of key points Yes Prevention of Crime and Petty theft and vandalism will inevitably increase in this area, from existing Disorder folk week levels. Public Safety 1) Salcombe Hill Road is unsuitable for the volume of traffic which would be generated. 2) All routes leading to Salcombe Hill Road are unsuitable. 3) Local residential roads will become gridlocked as people search for free parking. 4) Local residents will have difficulty and delay accessing their homes and 105
