153 Eastgate (Case 253000011304) Street Naming offered the names of Norfolk Court, De Rulos Court and Highbank Mews.  We challenged this and offered Nursery Close however, the Street Naming Office have decided to go with the developer to use Highbank Gardens.
Councillor Stevens asked if we could look into Deeping St James Parish Council’s position in this situation legally. 
 
It was RESOLVED to move into closed session in accordance with The Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960, due to the confidential nature of the business to be discussed in relation to the following matter.
 
Deeping St James response to the SKDC Local Plan Review Consultation has been sent in on 23/11/20. Councillor Shinkins-Hoppe as DSJPC's (the lead) representative on the Deepings Neighbourhood Plan group sought support from the planning committee regarding how to respond to an item within the South Kesteven District Council Local Plan.
 
It was RESOLVED to move out of closed session.
 
S20/1235 Linden Homes – It was discussed that the Planning Officer had been contacted to find out if there was more information regarding this case and he had advised that there have been some amended plans and we will receive a 14-day notification shortly. 
 
Bus Stop Update by Fiona Hudson-Brown – An appendix was shared prior to the meeting advising
various bus stop poles/clearways to be installed in Deeping St James.
 
S20/0592 69 Horsegate plan to build 2(no.) 4-bedroom dwellings appeal – The report has been referred to the Inspectorate on the 4/12/20.
 
S20/0632 Dog Training Area – Reports from Deeping St James Parish Council and also the Neighbourhood Plan have been referred to the Inspectorate on the 9/12 and the 22/12 (DNP).
Several residents have been rallied by the anti-dog training league and four or five residents have therefore re-written regarding this.
 
S20/2077 Land adjacent to 204 Eastgate - Flood photographs have been sent to SKDC showing
Floods of 1998 and 2020 questioning the Flood Risk Assessment 5/1/21 that was supplied in the
Planning Application.
It was noted that Councillor Hosking had forwarded photos of the water on the proposed building plot at the end of Eastgate to Councillor Dilks, as he is a member of the District Council Planning Committee.
 
76.21 To receive information regarding an ANPR Safe Speed Camera Systems.
Information was requested from the company offering the system and provided in the appendixes.  Since the equipment would cost more than £10,000 to purchase and furthermore over £1,000 to run and manage on a yearly basis, it was considered a non-starter. 
 
77.21 Letter sent to Becky Melhuish re 6 houses at 72 Church Street further response to Highways.
Councillor Shinkins-Hoppe advised that she had noticed that for large vehicles to access the building site two people have to hold up the traffic because of this she suggested that a left-hand turn only sign should be considered at this development. After discussions covering enforcement, traffic mirrors and warning signage it was decided that a concealed entrance warning sign would be most appropriate. It was agreed that LCC Highways should be contacted to see if this could be progressed. At the same time the installation of a similar sign on Horsegate prior to the entrance to the Co-operative food store should be investigated.
