DECLARATION OF INTEREST IN ANY MATTERS
ARISING:
None
MINUTES OF LAST MEETING:
The
Minutes of the Meeting held on 8th May 2007 were
approved, S Nicholson proposed, K Macklin seconded
and all were in favour.
MINUTES OF THE
PLANNING MEETING:
The Minutes of the
Meeting held on 10th May 2007 were approved, S
Nicholson proposed, S Mathison seconded, and all were in
favour.
Mrs Ablett informed
the Councillors that were unable to make the Planning
Meeting the comments that had been made by some Members of
the Public regarding a planning application.
MATTERS ARISING:
Rectory Farm
Planning Application: The Parish Council are
disappointed that they were not given the opportunity to
consider the planning application in full. Changes had been
made to the original application but these were not received
and we were only informed once the application had been
approved. The Parish Council strongly opposes the removal of
the hedge.
Bus Shelter:
It had been decided at the last Meeting that the bus shelter
would be painted in anti-vandal paint. However, the paint
does not dry and therefore would not be suitable.
ERYC Matters:
Commuted Sums:
The Ward Councillors support the Youth Club’s proposal
for a skate park and the application form is to be forwarded
to the Youth Club Leaders to complete.
Planning
Applications: The Clerk had experienced problems when
emailing planning decisions to ERYC. It would appear that
other Councils have experienced the same problem but the
Clerk has been advised that the problem has now been
rectified.
Councillor Peacock
left the Meeting at 7.30pm.
Mr Peter
Hirschfield - Humber & Wolds Rural Community Council -
Parish Plan presentation.
The Chair welcomed
Mr Hirschfield to the Meeting. Mr Hirschfield explained what
a Parish Plan was and how it could help the village. Parish
Plans lay out a shared vision for the community over the
next 10 years + and contain a detailed action plan for
achieving this vision. A Parish Plan sets out how community
action can meet local needs. It is a process by which the
whole community can voice their opinions on what actions
they wish to see taken in their local area in the future.
Anyone can have an input in to the Parish Plan. Different
Groups from the village can set up a steering committee. A
Plan can take on average between 12 and 18 months to
complete.
Mr Hirschfield
brought Parish Plans from other villages to look at and get
an idea on what they contain. Funding is available to pay
for the cost of producing the Parish Plan.
The Chair thanked Mr
Hirschfield on behalf of the Parish Council for a very
informative presentation and Mr Hirschfield left the Meeting
at 8.20pm. The Parish Plan is to be placed on the Agenda for
the next Meeting.
Visitors to
Meetings:
J Harrison queried
if the Clerk could ascertain how long a visitor would be
proposing to speak at the Meetings. S Mathison proposed, Mrs
Ablett seconded and all were in favour.

PLANNING APPLICATIONS:
|
|
|
DC/07/02931 - |
Mr M Turvey -
erection of 4 no. terraced dwellings following partial
demolition and alterations to existing workshop at land
south of Barleygate House, Leven Strongly object
on the grounds of: Overdevelopment of area, no parking
spaces allowed - from the application the applicant
presumes that the residents of the properties would be
able to park in the spaces in front of the proposed
development. These spaces are already used by people
using the butchers, post office, video shop,
hairdressers and so would just create more problems in
an already busy area. It would spoil the conservation
area. Refuse bins would block the pavement on the
collection day. Commercial vehicles using the workshop
would be using the same entrance as pedestrians. This
would be a hazard for people walking. |
|
DC/07/02787 - |
Mr & Mrs
Melville - erection of single storey extension to front
at 12 Carr Lane, Leven Strongly support |
|
|
|
|

FINANCIAL MATTERS:
CCTV:
The matter of CCTV cameras was discussed at some length.
It was decided that the matter should be put on hold and to
re-visit it in three months time. The trouble with youths in
the village seems to have quietened down.
Public Works Loan
Board: The Internal Auditor had brought it to the
attention of the Clerk that the interest we are receiving on
the bank accounts is less than the interest rate we are
paying to the Public Works Loan Board. The Clerk is to
obtain a settlement figure and the outstanding balance will
be repaid. J Harrison proposed, K Macklin seconded and all
were in favour.
Standards Board
for England “Model Code of Conduct” 2007:
A new Model Code of
Conduct has to be adopted by the Parish Council. The options
were discussed and S Nicholson proposed, K Macklin seconded
and all were in favour of including section 12(2) in it.
This allows People to speak at the Meetings regarding
planning applications.
REPRESENTATIVES REPORT:
Parish Paths:
D Thorne has submitted to ERYC a request for £1065 to pay
for the grass to be cut. One cut will have to be paid by the
Parish Council but this was allowed for when setting the
precept.
Police: This
was read out as correspondence.
Playing fields:
D Heald reported that approximately £3000 was raised at
the auction.
