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.
9.1 Medmerry Stakeholders Advisory Group (MStAG). Mr Field reported that a planning application is expected to be lodged at the end of July. Prior to that exhibitions indicating paths, bridle ways etc but not all car parks will be held in the local parishes; in Sidlesham an exhibition will be held on Friday 9th July from 3pm to 8pm in the Church Hall

Meeting ended 7.50pm

5. New Applications
5.1 SI/10/00852/FUL. School House, Keynor Lane. Provision of 5 affordable (non-market) residential units on the Sidlesham School campus with 2 of these units provided by the adaptation of the existing school house. O.S. Grid Ref. 484655/97778
 This application generated heated interest from people mainly recently associated with the School, a large sign was erected on the highway in Highleigh Road and pickets were present at the school gates on days previous to the planning meeting. A copy of one letter of objection to CDC was received by the PC. In order to present an informed view at the meeting the Parish Council invited senior representatives of the County Council. District Council and the Housing Association to attend. Four members of the public against the application attended the planning meeting.
 
 Mrs Goldsmith explained the history of the school house and how over the last decade or so unsuccessful attempts were made to utilise the house for key workers or school use due to lack of interest or prohibitive costs. Finally in 2006 the WSCC Education department declared it surplus to their needs and discussions started on the future of the house and garden. Mr Irving explained this culminated with the proposals to develop the house and garden for social housing held in perpetuity for Sidlesham associated people who have priority. If there are no high qualifying Sidlesham people, accommodation would be offered to those with less qualification.
 The Chairman first asked the experts to respond to each of the points of objection listed in an anonymous flier circulated to some properties in the parish. The Chairman then invited the members of the public to make presentation or ask questions about the application with responses from the experts present:-
 1. Concerned about noise nuisance for school and occupants of the social housing.
 A. Mr Seaman explained that an additional cavity wall was planned between the house  and the school, insulation would be far in access of semi-detached housing and greater than the education building regulations of 55 dB insulation. Hastoe were prepared to have this as a permission condition from CDC.
 2. Concern for privacy of children due to windows overlooking playground.
 A. Mr Seaman explained that the current first floor window would be blocked, a window on the first floor would have obscure glass in a fixed shut frame, the only other windows on that side would be Velux roof lights.
 3. The plans illustrated a new access provided for the residents and teachers to the front playground.
 A. Yes, old entrance near to corner closed therefore safer and agreed so with WSCC Highways.
 4. Did the development encroach on the school boundary?
 A. No, it was contained within the house and garden area of the house belonging to the County Council.
 5. At the eastern end of the plot there was a piece of land with a drainage ditch.
 A. The corner near the large tree belongs to WSCC Highways. Mrs Goldsmith agreed to discuss with Highways the possibility of inclusion in the curtilage. Mr Seaman agreed also to raise this as it could potentially be included in the plot and work specified to maintain the drainage.
 
 The Chairman then asked for discussion and the views from the Parish Councillors.
• The school store adjacent to the house is ugly, could it be made better?
 Mr Seaman agreed it could but to date no proposals had been made to consider it.
• The plans were described as very innovative and that it was an opportunity to give five local families a home.
• Additionally the plans were described as exceeding expectation and the Council was pleased that solar heating was proposed.
• One minor but important point was raised that the Victorian coping bricks on the wall should be retained on the rebuilt better visibility wall.
 
 The Chairman then asked the Parish Councillors to vote for or against the application. The voting result was nine for and none against. A response to be made to CDC of no objection but with a request for the sound insulation to exceed the education standard of 55dB and to ask for the retention of the coping stones.

5.2 SYSI/09/03084/FUL. Grass Verge Opposite Ferry Farm House Chichester Road Selsey. A shared surface path for walkers and cyclists from Pagham Harbour to Selsey Manor Road Roundabout. OS Landranger references SZ85609630 to SZ86059435 Timber construction boardwalk to be used to provide access across pumping station frontage and timber access bridge to be provided across one  ditch.

5.4 SI/10/01835/REM. The Fairways, Brimfast Lane. Replacement of existing dwelling with 1 no. 4 bedroomed cottage.
 O.S. Grid Ref. 485544/100063 The Parish Council concluded that the site would benefit greatly from development but would best be served by the submission of a new full application. Reasons being;-
• There is doubt over the timely fulfilment of conditions of site clearance stipulated for the outline permission.
• The dimensions of the proposed house are not as the outline permission.
• The area of the site given on the application is incorrect. 
• The PC is informed that the access path does not form part of The Fairways curtilage but is owned by the neighbouring property, with a right of access to The Fairways.

PC conclusion – no objection.
5.3       SI/10/00202/FUL. Three Oaks Nursery, Selsey Road. Siting of mobile home for agricultural worker for temporary period of three years.
PC conclusion – no objection.
5.4      SI/10/00227/ELD. Green Lane Piggeries, Ham Road. Use of land for stationing of caravan for the purposes of residential accommodation.
PC conclusion – object.
The Council considered that the stationing of the caravan and the residential use should not be decided under the ‘4 year rule’ as such use had been clandestine and deliberately in breach of planning communications from Chichester District Council. 
Although there were declarations of residential use; the similarly worded letters were from the applicant’s immediate acquaintances with close knowledge of the site. To the general parish such use was hidden and withheld from the District Council. In 2007 application was made to alter another of the buildings into a residence. On the site map submitted for that application SI/07/05409/FUL the position of a caravan was not drawn although it was now stated to have been present and subsequently replaced with another.
The Parish Council objected to use of the land for residential purposes as it is not in a Settlement Policy Area, also it is in a position considered by the Environment Agency to be at risk of flooding. The accommodation was not required for agricultural purposes.
5.5      SI/10/00229/ELD. Green Lane Piggeries, Ham Road. Use of building as a dwelling house, or for residential purposes
PC conclusion – object
The Council considered  that the current use of the building for residential purposes should not be decided under the ‘4 year rule’ as such use has been clandestine and deliberately in hidden  from Chichester District Council. 
Although there were declarations of residential use; the similarly worded letters were from the applicant’s immediate acquaintances with close knowledge of the site. To the general parish such use was hidden and withheld from the District Council. In 2007 application was made to alter another of the buildings into a residence. On the site map submitted for that application SI/07/05409/FUL the building subject to the current application was not drawn although it is now stated to have been used as a residence.
The Parish Council objected to use of the land for residential purposes as it is not in a Settlement Policy Area, it is in a position considered by the Environment Agency to be at risk of flooding and accommodation was not required for agricultural purposes.
5.6      SI/10/00406/DOM 4 Street End, Selsey Road. Demolition of single storey side extension and erect two storey side extension, rear dormers and front porch.
PC conclusion – no objection.
5.7    SI/10/00254/DOM. Church House, Church Farm Lane. Outdoor sunken swimming pool.
PC conclusion – object.
By a vote of 5 against, 1 for and 1 abstention the Councillors objected to the construction for the following reasons: -
• The area is particularly sensitive immediately adjacent to Sidlesham Parish Church.
• The pool site is too close to the boundary and south door of the church. Noise and activities, normal for a swimming pool, could be intrusive and detrimental to the use of the church and burial ground. 
The Councillors considered that should permission be granted screening and acoustic barriers should be conditions stipulated by CDC Planning Department.

5.1 SI/09/05111/ELD Berryrose Garden Cottage, Chichester Road.
 Use of property as a self contained dwellinghouse.
 Conclusions. Prior to the receipt of the application papers none of the Parish Councillors was aware of the existence of this unauthorised development in the grounds of 3 Gorse Terrace. Therefore no  response could be made on the history of development or habitation of the building.

 The Parish Councillors requested that should a certificate of ELD be granted by CDC there should be a condition that “Berryrose Garden Cottage” be tied to 3 Gorse Terrace, never to be sold as an  independent habitation, The reasoning for this request to prevent such hidden unauthorised buildings  forming precedents for similar clandestine procedures in areas considered unsuitable for  development.

Conclusion- objection by a vote of 7 to 1
The Council objected to:-
• The stark appearance of the structure, out of keeping in a road dominated by the ex- Land Settlement houses. The dominating features of a sombre rendered wall and a zinc roof would not fit or blend with the Fletchers Lane street scene. The design is not sympathetic to a rural setting.
• Curtilage delineated by a rendered wall rather than hedges.
Positive points:-
• Exciting concept to propose a modern design as a replacement house.
• Position back from the roadway to give space.
• The many energy saving initiatives.
• Concept of a house suitable for multi-generation family occupation.
5.2 SI/10/00134/COU.  The Forge, Lockgate Road. Use of premises for vehicle preparation prior to sale comprising mechanical repairs and servicing and valeting (no body work or spraying of vehicles).

No objection to the change of use but clarification requested from CDC whether all three units of the building were to become B1 classified use or only the one unit as at present?
Also if the application is permitted certain conditions requested to be imposed.
• All vehicles associated with the company (including employees’ and visitors’ vehicles) to be parked off the road on ‘The Forge’ premises.
• Access not suitable for very large vehicles.
• Hours of business to be in keeping with the location
  8.00 to 18.00 Monday to Friday. 8.00 to 12.00 Saturdays. No Sunday or Bank Holiday work.

4. Declarations by Councillors of personal interests. None

5. New Applications for discussion.
5.1 SI/09/06897/DOM. Holmby, Mill Lane. Proposed single storey rear extension.
 PC decision ‘No Objection’.

5.2 SI/09/03600/FUL. Chichester Canvas, Chichester Road. 2.1 metre high green mesh fencing to front of  premises incorporating 2 gates and hedge planting to  Chichester Road. PC decision ‘No Objection’.

5.4 SI/09/03687/DOM. Boxham Lane Cottage 1 Boxham Lane.  Replacement garage (Barn style).
 PC decision ‘No Objection’.

5.5 SI/09/03705/PLD Church House, Church Farm Lane. Outdoor swimming pool.
 PC decision ‘Object’ to PLD, request full planning application be requested by CDC.
 Reasons for objection:-
• The property is in the Sidlesham Church Conservation Area.
• The area is particularly sensitive immediately adjacent to Sidlesham Parish Church.
• The proposed pool site is too close to the boundary and approximately only 15 metres away from the south door of the church. Noise and activities, normal for a swimming pool, could be intrusive and inappropriate to the environment and setting of the Grade 1 listed church building and burial ground.
• The curtilage boundary is indistinct.
• Screening and sound barriers should be stipulated by CDC Planning Department and be part of any permission.
• In conservation areas, pools are stated to be considered together with outbuildings. The area of such in this curtilage (garage, bothy and pool) at distance from the house appears from the sketch drawings submitted, to exceed the 10 square metres maximum by a considerable amount.

5.6 SI/09/02380/PLD Littleacre, Keynor Lane. Proposed use for conservatory to utility block.
 PC decision ‘Object’. Reason:- The utility block was permitted (on appeal) for washing purposes only.  The addition of a conservatory to it would convert the block into living accommodation, contrary to the  permitted use.

6 Planning appeal
6.1 SI/09/02498/COU Greenacres Nursery, Keynor Lane. Appeal against CDC decision to not grant  permanent permission for a mobile home. The Parish Council decided the Clerk should write to the  Planning Inspectorate objecting to the appeal, expressing support for the District Council decision and  stating that the PC view is still as stated in the response of 20 August; that temporary planning  permission for a mobile home is more suitable for the situation.
