I'm delighted to report that Planning Permission for the Skatepark has been GRANTED!

So it's just a wait to see the outcome of our grant application towards the end of May now. Fingers crossed everyone!

Have you heard anything about planning application yet ...

No but today is the target recommendation date so I'm hoping that it will be very soon. I've asked the council to request an update from the planners already. As soon as I know I'll post.

The Marple Memorial Park Skatepark Development Project page on the Friends of the Park web site has been updated following receipt of £53 of community funding from Marple Hall School, which was raised by two of their pupils doing a sponsored silence last term. This takes our community raised match funding for the project to £22,981, just £19 short of an amazing £23,000.

Think you've been granted full planning permission. I receive planning applications each week from SMBC.

Here's the final version of Marple College Students' video shot during Marple Carnival 2013 that was included with our Skatepark Grant Application:



The video was filmed and edited by Media Studies students attending Marple Sixth Form College. Unfortunately, due to technical problems with their equipment, the sound recording proved to be unusable but we think they’ve made a great job of producing a video that captures the day despite this set-back.

The Marple Memorial Park Skatepark Development Project page on the Friends of the Park web site has been updated to reflect the following recent developments:

Notification that Marple and District WI raised £600 towards the project match-funding during last year's Christmas Cracker, bringing our community funding to £22,928.

An application for planning permission was submitted on Friday 6 March 2015. This should soon appear on the Planning Portal and I'll add a link when it does.

A grant application was submitted yesterday to the Lafarge- Tarmac Landfill Communities Fund administered by the Derbyshire Environmental Trust and receipt was informally acknowledged today. The application asks for £62,000, which is the balance of funds that we need to complete the Marple Skatepark Development Project.

The poppy is such a nice touch. Just emphasising that this is "Memorial" Park.

[admin]

That looks a lot bigger than the current skate park. Is it?

It is all contained within the existing footprint of the site (the existing hard surface area) but yes, more of the existing space it is being used for the new skatepark.

This plan of the existing facility helps to make it clearer:
