Location: 10 Bridge Street Deeping St James Lincolnshire PE6 8HA
SKDC: Grants planning permission.
DSJPC: Objected
Chairs Comment: Both we and the Council’s EHO objected to the gravel finish for the road given proximity to the adjacent house and noise disturbance. However, the officer disagreed saying:
“Concern has been raised in representation that the change to gravel to the access road finish would result in a rise in noise impact resulting in harm to the residential amenities of Nos. 30 and 32 Park Road and 12 Bridge Street. It is acknowledged that this material may increase the level of noise to these neighbours as a result of vehicle movements, and Environmental Protections comments are noted, however given the use of the site by nature would only result in movements for limited periods of the days and not heavily during unsociable hours, the impact is not considered to be unacceptable.”
Application No: S24/0424
Applicant: Mrs Lisa Yates
Proposal: Continued use of a temporary building, erected in January 2022 (planning reference S21/2117) for an additional period of 3 years to be used as an area for PE curriculum and sitting of exams.
Location: The Deepings School Park Road Deeping St James Lincolnshire PE6 8NF
SKDC: Grants Planning Permission
DSJPC: No objections
Deeping St James Parish Council have no objections to this planning application, however, would like to comment since there is a rolling potential, we would like to request a sunset clause to be added, requesting a final change of use extension to be agreed, and after the 3 years is up, it is brought back as a full planning permission application. If this is still to be used for P.E. and exams; we would like to establish whether the building is still suitable for purpose and structurally sound.
We further strongly advise the applicant is informed that , prior to seeking further retention of this temporary building beyond another 3 years, they develop full and clear details of a programme for improving this part of the school estate including details of their investment programme and commitments for permanent replacement. This is in the best interests of the planning of this area, the welfare of children using otherwise poor-quality facilities , and resolving uncertainty about how the school might extend.

Subject: EN101069 – Meridian Solar Farm – EIA Scoping Notification and Consultation / Reg 11 Notification
FAO Clerk of Deeping St James Parish Council
We are contacting you at this time in relation to the Meridian Solar Farm which is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). NSIPs are defined in Part 3, Regulation 14 of the Planning Act 2008, and are projects of certain types, over a certain size, which are considered by the Government to be so big and nationally important that permission to build them needs to be given at a national level, by a responsible Secretary of State. A summary of the NSIP planning process can be found in the list of links at the bottom of this page. This project is currently in the pre-application stage.
To meet the requirements of the Infrastructure Planning Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations (2017) (“the EIA Regulations”), NSIPs which are likely to have a significant effect on the environment are required to undertake an EIA and to provide an Environmental Statement (ES) to accompany the application. An ES will set out the potential impacts and likely significant effects of the Proposed Development on the environment. Schedule 4 of the EIA Regulations sets out the general information for inclusion within an ES. You can find out more detail on ES documents and the EIA process in the links at the bottom of this page.
To inform the scope and level of detail of the information to be provided within the ES, the Applicant has requested a Scoping Opinion from the Planning Inspectorate, on behalf of the Secretary of State under Regulation 10 of the EIA Regulations.
Before adopting a Scoping Opinion, the Inspectorate must consult the relevant ‘consultation bodies’ defined in the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 (see link below). You have been identified as a consultation body for this project, please see attached correspondence. Both Local Planning Authorities and Parish/Town Councils play an important role in the planning process by providing area specific knowledge and representing local communities. The Applicant must have regard to comments made within the Scoping Opinion as the submitted ES must be based on the most recently adopted Scoping Opinion Therefore, your comments at this stage are valuable at influencing the scope of the ES by reviewing the Applicant’s approach to EIA as set out within their Scoping Report. Please note this consultation relates solely to the EIA Scoping process. Please rest assured that there are further opportunities for you to engage with and provide views on the project more generally, including through the Applicant’s own consultation. Applicants have a duty to undertake statutory consultation and are required to have regard to all responses to their statutory consultation.
Please note the deadline for consultation responses is 28 June 2024 and is a statutory deadline which cannot be extended. Responses submitted before the deadline will be considered, and published at the end of the Scoping Opinion, by the Planning Inspectorate.

Appendix 6 – To consider a Road Naming Proposal
Dear Sirs,
We are currently in the process of constructing a new road under planning application number S24/0307 and would like to engage with you on the proposed naming of the new road, before we can submit this to SKDC for approval.
For this new road, we would like to propose the following name:-
Jay Dix Drive
The rational behind this is, the previous owner (Mr Crowson) many years ago, used to keep a race horse on the land after it retired, with the name Jay Dix. We would like to give a nod to Mr Crowson, without naming the road after him directly, and feel that this would be a nice and uncomplicated way of doing so.
Please can you let me know if you have any objection to the proposed name, in order that I can then submit this proposal to SKDC.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
