_________________________________________________________________________
OPEN
FORUM: Mr John Fairlie of Winterfield spoke against Pln Appn
07/00113. He said that the application was virtually the same as the
previous application which had been refused at Parish and Borough Council
last year. The noise report commissioned by Mr Overall contained several
errors including the distance of the ménage from their garden which was
35 metres from their boundary. Many of their upstairs windows overlooked
the ménage and the fencing which was now partially covered with black
plastic. Instructors could often be heard teaching in the ménage. He
would hope that the Parish Council would see fit to reiterate their
objections from last year.
Mr Woodbridge spoke from the
public gallery about the negotiations on the Station Hill project. He
queried the status of the project and the involvement of the Parish
Council. He also referred to a Liberal Democrat “Focus” leaflet which
contained an inaccuracy as to the future of the porch at the Social Club.
The Clerk said that a letter had been written to Chris Wheeler asking for
more information and reminding him that in October 2002, when this project
had initially been agreed, the residents of Station Road were also
involved.
Cllr Fry referred back to Pln
Appn 07/00113 to say that not all the neighbours had been notified of this
application. Mr and Mrs Warne of Hillcote had received no notice despite
objecting in 2006.
