3. Matters arising from the above minutes.
3.1 (7.1) Turbine at Hope Villa, Mill Lane. Item raised of what time was given for removal after appeal dismissed. The Clerk will enquire.
4. Declarations by Councillors of personal interests. None
5. New Applications.
5.1 SI/09/02177/DOM
Brimfast House, Brimfast Lane. Two storey chalet link extension and two storey rear extension. Re-submission of SI/08/04037/DOM
PC decision no objection.
5.2 SI/09/02423/PLD. Boxham Lane Cottage 1 Boxham Lane. Erection of summer house in garden.
PC decision object because:-
• The proposed building is far greater in size than can be considered a ‘garden summer house’ for a small cottage in a small garden. It is a major construction.
• In no way does it comply with the accepted description of a summer house; namely, “A small building in a garden, used for relaxing in during fine weather.” (Oxford English Dictionary)
• The proposed building has a footprint equal to 50% of the area of the cottage and is in reality a new build extension separate from the dwelling.
• The application does not give any plan drawings of the interior of the proposed building.
5.3 SI/09/02254/COU. 14 Chalk Lane. Siting of mobile home for agricultural worker for temporary period of three years.
PC decision no objection.
5.4 SI/09/01993/DOM. 64 Street End Lane. Alterations and extension to form new living / dining room and first floor master bedroom suite and replacement conservatory.
PC decision no objection
