4 Decisions Received
87/00 Milton Parish Council - footpath - approved. Details of materials
(64/00) to be used to be approved in writing by Local Planning Authority
(LPA). The clerk to ask S Ward to confirm with LPA Council's
request for a tarmac path.
Noted that the County Council had agreed to meet the cost of the
path link in Recreation Close.
A meeting between Ed Thornton, Parrott the builders and MPC to be
arranged.
5 New Applications
88/00 S/1773/99 JF Lindsay house and garage adjacent 17 High Street -
(20/00) revised details - for information only.
89/00 S/0218/00 Mr and Mrs Cortis 9 Butcher Close - extension. No
recommendation.
90/00 S/0239/00 Mr Mansfield 88 The Rowans - extension. No recommendation.
Comments: Quite a large extension particularly at first floor level;
concern about effect to number 90; master bedroom windows fairly
close to number 90.
91/00 S/0240/00 Rector and PCC of All Saints' Church - car park. Refuse
unless the following amendments/considerations made:
1. Council would prefer not to see a tarmac surface but a type of
"grasscrete" to preserve the appearance of what is a conservation
area.
2. There should be no pruning of the yew tree, as this would spoil
the balance of the tree. To prevent this tree being damaged the
car parking space at the eastern end should therefore be removed
from the proposal. In addition this car parking space should be
removed because of the possible danger to vehicles leaving the
space next to a sharp bend in the driveway to the hospice.
3. Any other tree pruning/removal should be done only with the
consent of the SCDC Trees' Officer.
4. We question the removal of the street lamp to a position nearer
the entrance as in its present position it would highlight the
car parking area as well as providing some safety for persons
using this road.
5. We question the reasons for removing the speed hump (to the east
of the proposed car park - not shown on plan) as apparently the
speed of vehicles leaving the hospice has increased since its
removal and would suggest that it is reinstated.
92/00 C/11/40/72 Mrs Barclay Lock keeper's house Baits Bite Lock - removal
of Scots Pine (Fen Ditton Conservation Area) because of root damage.
No comments.
93/00 6 Public Entertainments Licences
AGREED to renewal of Lion and Lamb and Napp Sports and Social Club
public entertainments licences subject to no alteration in
the conditions.
The meeting ended at 7.50pm.
