| PD21/051 | Minutes of the Last Meeting. To agree and sign the minutes of the previous meeting held on 21st September 2021. Proposed by Cllr Caroline Hubbard and Seconded by Cllr Adrian Eyre the minutes were Agreed and the Clerk provided a copy for the Chair to sign. | |
| PD021/053 | 21/00472 – Land adj 40 Whartons Lane – The National Park Authority had been in touch with the applicant to ask if the decision date could be further extended to 23rd December 2021 and the applicant had agreed. The Parish Council had heard from the applicant via email to say that they had produced an online consultation form with updated illustrative layout for the Parish Council and residents to respond to. On viewing the document there was no further narrative of explanation on the proposals. The Parish Council felt that this was a wholly inadequate attempt to engage with residents and it was not inclusive to all residents who did not have online access and did not know about the consultation. The only publicity about this online consultation was an A4 laminated notice on one of the Recreation Ground gates. The timescale for responses was also very short (12 days). Cllr Robinson advised members that she had written to the developer and the NFNPA officer expressing her disappointment with the actions taken by the developer so far, the application was still factually inaccurate which had already highlighted by the Parish Council some months ago and no attempt had been made to correct them. There was a new footpath shown to the northern boundary, which was not visible on the original layout drawing, but the top part of the drawing had been cut off. The Parish Council would like clarification as to its purpose. Cllr Robinson will write to the Planning Officer to ask about timescales and Clerk will write to The Chief exec Officer at Vivid Homes to express our disappointment about Foreman Homes and their lack of trying to engage with the Community and the Parish Council. | |
