SIDS (Speed Indicator Device) machine.
Lamp posts along Linchfield Road have previously been investigated by the Assistant Clerk and passed on to the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership (LRSP). The LRSP now wish to know the measurements for the new type of smile/frown speed monitor, to make sure that the lamp post can take the weight of the monitor as it is a different type to the Unipart Dorman monitors already held. If the monitor is too large/heavy, the Parish Council must either revert to another Unipart Dorman device – which if the same size as the ones held, would be agreed or pay to install another pole and apply for further permissions.
Councillors agreed that if the smiley/frowny monitor is too heavy, then we should purchase another Unipart Dorman monitor, they went on to agree that we should purchase two sets of brackets, so that we will be able to monitor traffic in both directions.

Once the information has been received, it will be brought to the Committee’s attention for discussion.

DSJPC – RECOMMEND to FULL COUNCIL to object based on overdevelopment and is considered to be harmful to the character of the area, that is dominated by frontage only property. The site lies near a public footpath and so the new buildings will have a pronounced impact on views from that footpath.

DSJPC – Deeping St James Parish Council would support this application in principle, if all the appropriate supporting surveys and reports had been submitted at the time of consideration.
The Parish Council recognise that further consideration must be given to the close proximity of the SSSI and the lack of the report from English Nature; English Heritage have suggested further investigation. The area lies within the mineral safeguarding area and the Parish Council notes that they have raised an objection to possible extractions.
The Parish Council would like to see improved landscaping as this would be expected in the development of this nature. A detailed planting schedule would be appreciated.
As a result, the Parish Council decided to defer any decision pending sight of the above reports.
