7 General Planning Matters.
7.1 Mobile Home Camp, Jury Lane. A response was received by the Clerk from CDC Social Housing stating that contrary to the rumour, they were not locating people from the social housing list at this site. An additional complaint from parishioners was tabled that due to possible over occupation of the mobile homes (possibly by migrant workers) human sewage was contaminating the ditches adjacent to the area. The Clerk agreed to contact CDC Enforcement Team and Environmental Health, also the Environment Agency requesting investigation of the situation.
7.2 Parish Council policy on responses made to CDC relating to planning applications. The Chairman reported a complaint made to him about the School House development application that the PC Planning Committee did not take sufficient notice of objection letters received by CDC and posted on their website. Mr Field had explained to the complainant that he understood the duty of the PC was to evaluate applications as a consultee and produce a response considering the impact and benefit to the whole of the parish. The objection letters sent to CDC were for the District Council consideration; any letters or messages sent to the PC were tabled and assessed by the PC Planning Committee. The Councillors discussed the complaint and decided that the current practice should not be changed, also that the way School House was dealt with was correct.
8 Planning Correspondence. Mattress Recycling, The Forge, Lockgate Road. The Clerk received notice from CDC that the issue of waste is enforced by the Environment Agency and the business has a registered exemption.
9 Items of Urgent Public Importance or Information relating to Planning Matters for referral to the next meeting when a decision is required.
