- The signage for Bell Lane has arrived and is awaiting assembly, as soon as the maintenance men are available.
- Autocross Euroshel have provided a quote for two bus shelters to be purchased and placed at Springfields Development, Linchfield Road. The Parish Council are now consulting SKDC and LCC for permission to place them and to acquire the S106 funding from the developer.
- The Assistant Clerk attended Planning Training on the 21st February 2023 and has slides to share with the Councillors of the Planning Committee.
The Chair acknowledged that they had looked through the Planning Training slides and advised that they are not specific to SKDC. They went on to recommended that Councillors looked at slide 38 – Factors on the ground, which demonstrates the differences between material (factors to be considered) and non-material (factors that will not be considered) in planning matters.
Cllr Robinson entered the meeting at 7:05pm.
87.23 To receive an update from the Neighbourhood plan.
Cllr Shinkins-Hoppe discussed the training with SKDC regarding the potential creation of a Design Code as part of the Design Guide. The Design Code would become a legal document and developers would have to adhere to it, once approved. For example; if the planned site of development was in the area of a Church, then it could be written in to the code to ensure that the view of the Church was retained.
The Neighbourhood Plan is currently being reviewed; the hope was that it would
be ready at the same time as the new Local Plan. however, the Local Plan is delayed, so will now not be ready at the same time.
88.23 To consider changing Back Lane’s status from a Green Lane into Quiet Lane.
Cllr Shinkins-Hoppe approached the Parish Council with a view to changing the status of Back Lane, from a Green Lane to a Quiet Lane. The Council Protection of Rural England explain the difference between these two statuses online. Market Deeping Town Council are currently trying to change the status of Millfield Road in Market Deeping to a Quiet Lane and Deeping St James could work together with Market Deeping in pushing these applications through.
A proposal was put forward and seconded, for us to investigate whether we could change Back Lane from a Green Lane to a Quiet Lane, working with and alongside Market Deeping Town Council. Councillors voted 5 in favour, 1 abstention and 1 member unable to vote.
This proposal has been RECOMMENDED to Full Council for discussion.
