Marston's Inns and Taverns Planning Hawksmead Application Oakham Town Council

Oakham Town Council last night recommended approval of application APP/2010/1183/JM

The council approved the application subject Rutland County Council obtaining 106 payments for public transport, all this talk of 106 payments for public transport we will all soon be able to enjoy a night out of Oakham and return by public transport.

They also had concerns over the size of the children's garden and access, along with parking "only 59 spaces" I am sure most people would not approve of the mix of pub, family restaurant  and drink driving.

I agree the two disabled parking spaces are a long way from the entrance.

It was also interesting to note shown on the same plan was details of a hotel next door which seemed to confuse some councillors.

Council Lucas gave a long speech in which she said she was sorry, no I am not sorry, I support this application we don't have any family run establishment in Oakham"

After the meeting I visited the Hornblower just a stones throw from the Town Council Office, managed by a married couple who have children and offer a very good food and a  family environment throughout the day.
