5. To Consider Planning Applications Submitted for Comment:
141164: 45 Waterford Lane
The increased hazard of the proposed garage, which would be two metres in front of other properties (43 and 47) was discussed. Visibility when reversing out of the drive would be reduced on a bend already known to have produced accidents in the past.
10:40 am: Contact was lost for Cllr Scott.
It was thought that the foundations of the building would be very close to, and might affect, the natural spring which runs through the eastern side of the property and disappears into a culvert.
No further planning applications had been sent to the Parish Council.
ACTION: Clerk to email West Lindsey District Council, sending an observation regarding the garage and natural spring as a matter of urgency.
6. Community Improvement Levies Fund (CILs)
How best to spend this fund will be discussed at the next meeting
7. Feedback
5 St Luke’s Close
Work had stopped at this address. The Nail Bar/Beauty Salon had not applied for planning permission.
23 High Street
Although work had been stopped by West Lindsey District Council, it appeared that some work may still have been progressing.
ACTION: Committee Members to take photographs when possible.
Bleak Farm
Planning permission had been refused. Cllrs were disappointed that not all statements had been read out at the West Lindsey Planning Committee Meeting.
ACTION: Cllr Brylewski was to write to West Lindsey Planning Department to request clarification of what West Lindsey District Council wanted to see in a planning application for this land.
One suggestion was to build a set of modern day Alms houses for the elderly.
There were lessons learned from this application. The owner of the land could have been encouraged to give a presentation of the plans and that next time the Parish Council should seek to put in more technical references to the localised and neighbourhood plans and to provide photographs.
10:56 am: Cllr Scott’s connection returned and she reiterated the points made about the natural spring at 45 Waterford Lane.
8. Any Matters for Report and Notice of Items to be Included in the Next Agenda
17 Fiskerton Road
This half built house was last reported to be in the hands of West Lindsey District Council.
ACTION: Clerk to send a letter to the Enforcement Agency of West Lindsey District Council requesting an update on this situation.
9. To Confirm the Date of Next Meeting.
As and when required.
