09/00076/FUL
Mr James Wilson
Old Railway Yard, Waterloo Road – amendment to the original application
Change of use to residential caravan site for 6 gypsy families with a total of 12 caravans (6 static homes and 6 touring caravans) and associated works : this is a revised description reducing the numbers from 7 to 6, and a revised block plan showing detailed layout, access, hardstandings, caravan locations and parking
Objection due to the following reasons: The Council considered it is still an overdevelopment and do not consider the reduction from 7 to 6 sufficient to make a difference. The amended plan does not differ sufficiently from the original one presented at the Planning Committee in March 2009 for it to be considered 'comprehensive'. The area marked out for a future erection of an amenity building is far too small for 6 families; from the plan it would appear to be of a similar size as one of the touring caravans. The issue of vehicles has not been addressed. At the Planning committee Meeting in March the Parish drew attention to the issue of where will they park the 14 (now 12) vehicles: 1 per touring caravan plus another for daily use. The Council has requested it be brought to Committee again.

Mr D Khara
25 Steppes Piece, B50 4AT
Two storey extension
Council made the following comments: The Parish Council has no objection to the extension itself, however great concerns were expressed by all members in respect of: The access – this is very close to the bend and will have very poor visibility – members feel it is essential Highways visit the site before approval is given to ensure there is no danger to traffic; Is a soakaway the most appropriate way of dealing with the water situation bearing in mind the propensity of this area to possible flooding and the effect on the brook which rises very rapidly in the current wet climate conditions. The Parish Council is very mindful of any changes that may exacerbate flooding of the village and would appreciate extreme care being taken with planning where flooding is an issue.

J Wilson
Old Railway Yard, Waterloo Road.
Change of use to residential caravan site for 7 gypsy families with a total of 14 caravans (7 static homes and 7 touring caravans) with associated works.
The Parish Council objects for the following reasons: It is contrary to Pol. CTY 8 which states that 'proposals for new sites in rural areas for positioning of mobile homes or caravans for permanent accommodation including individual units will be resisted'; The area is outside the Built up Area Boundary – STR.4; Gypsy site – the Council understands that District Council is not aware of the need for further accommodation. Policy CTY.7 states that 'the proposed site would not cause harm to the character of the local area... or unduly affect any neighbouring properties or activities'; It is contrary to Pol. CRT.1 which states that 'all forms of development in the countryside other than those in accordance with provisions elsewhere on the Local Plan, will generally be resisted ir order to preserve the character and ensure that resources are protected'.
