Councillor Shinkins-Hoppe advised that she is known to the applicants of Planning Application S20/0189.

 

83.21  To agree the Minutes of the previous meeting held on 21 January 2021.

The Minutes were agreed as a true representation and will be signed and returned by Councillor Shinkins-Hoppe.

 

84.21  To receive reports from the Clerk.

An email with photographs was sent to the Principal Development Management Officer at LCC, requesting for appropriate hazard signage to be placed nearby to the blind bend at 72 Church Street, DSJ and also at the bend next to the Co-Op on the corner of Horsegate and Spalding Road based upon the difficult visibility for driving in these areas.

The Principal Development Management Officer at LCC responded advising that the Church Street application has already been granted permission and in this instance,  there is nothing further that they can do.  The information has however, been passed on to Highways to consider. 

Councillor Shinkins-Hoppe confirmed that Deeping St James United Charities were happy to have signage placed at Riverside Park should the need arise.

 

Further information was sought with regard to Deeping St James Parish Councils input and boundaries in street naming from South Kesteven District Council.  The Street Naming and Numbering Officer at SKDC sent two documents one stating that it is not a statutory requirement for Parish Councils to be consulted and the second provided information on Street Naming Procedure.

 

85.21  To consider the Planning Policy Consultations.

Two documents were circulated before the meeting:

 

Planning Policy Draft Design Guidelines for Rutland and South Kesteven

Councillor Shinkins-Hoppe advocated that this is a good policy that should be read by all of the Planning Committee giving guidelines for the developers.  Sections 4 & 5 are especially relevant, offering the legislation that must be followed to prevent adverse, poor plans from being produced.

 

Planning Policy Draft Statement of Community Involvement 2021.

It was discussed that this document should be kept to hand, as it explains the whole planning process and is very useful.  A response has been prepared for South Kesteven District Council and will be sent when ready.
