Present: Councillors Barber, Blessett, Dilks, Gilbert, Halls, Pelling, Shinkins-Hoppe, Green and Hosking

Four members of the public.

Assistant Clerk

Prior to the commencement of the meeting Councillor Blessett welcomed the public and allowed them the opportunity to address the committee. The members of the public were present to discuss planning application S19/0343 and address concerns raised regarding the access that this proposal would create on Park Road with questions as to whether this would become a ‘rat-run’, from Bridge Street. It was established that there would be gates installed at each of the driveway and these would only be unlocked during nursery opening times. The roadway would be only for nursery user vehicles not residents. One member of the public who was unable to attend sent written concerns to the parish council by email, prior to the meeting and bullet points from these comments were read to the committee by Councillor Blessett. Due to the members of the public being present the committee agreed to amend the order the applications were to be dealt with on the agenda and deal with this application and S19/0344, 10 Bridge Street, DSJ (neighbouring property) first.

83.19 To receive apologies of absence.

Apologies were received from Councillor Hardy and Councillor Bowell

87.19 To receive and consider the following planning applications and put forward recommendations to the next Council Meeting or make decisions in accordance with the Committee’s delegated powers:

S19/0344

Mr & Mrs Cox 10 Bridge Street, DSJ

Proposed annex and garage

Approved under delegated powers

Any member of the public can attend all Council and Committee meetings to see the work of the Council. Full Council meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month which start with a 30 minute public forum for questions and issues to be raised.

S19/0343

Carousel Nursery Land to the rear of 10 Bridge Street, DSJ

Proposed demolition of redundant abattoir buildings and erection of day nursery, formation of vehicle cross over on Park Road Recommend approval to Full Council with the following reservations

DSJPC have no objection in principle to a nursery in this location and accept that the 19th century abattoir is in a poor condition and could not economically be rebuilt. The paddock is designated in the conservation area as an important open space and this proposal would necessitate approx. 25% of this being lost. There are concerns about both vehicular and pedestrian access even though there would be a one way system from Bridge Street to Park Road and this driveway would be gated and only unlocked during nursery opening times. However, there is particular concern about the narrowness of the exit onto Park Road and this should be considered more carefully by Highways.

Four members of the public left the meeting at 8:10pm

Miss G McCrae, Linden Homes Land Off Linchfield Road, DSJ
