6. Street Naming and Numbering – Land r/o 1-13 Oliver Street Notification has been received to name the above application site and the developer has proposed the following:
Members considered the suggestions and concluded that Willow Court could be too confusing as there is already Willow Way. Clara Court struck no accord with the members and Maple Court was not considered appropriate as there are no Maple trees on site.
Recommended: That Burgess Court is considered as Oliver Street was once home to the Burgess Water Mineral Factory and this would give an historical reference to the naming of the development.
