There were no matters arising.

144/06 Planning Applications

Receipt of the following applications was acknowledged and considered as follows:

06/07094/ FUL – 40 Sandholme Drive

Construction of a pair of semi–detached houses. Following discussion it was agreed that the proposal was an over development of the site. It was out of character with the surrounding properties in terms of style and height and had a detrimental effect on the street scene.

Resolved: Recommend Refusal

06/07153/FUL – 8 Greenholme cottages

Conversion of roof space and addition of dormer window.

Resolved: Recommend approval

06/06937/FUL – 26 Hall Rise

Alterations to existing garage/utility room. First floor extension over garage and conservatory to rear.

Resolved: Recommend approval

06/07008/FUL – 14 St Philips Way

Single storey extensions to side and rear. This application was an amended proposal to one previously refused. It had been amended to reduce the size of the extension. Following discussion it was agreed that this was now acceptable.

Resolved: Recommend approval

145/06 Decisions from BMDC

None had been received.

146/06 Any Other Business

Cllr Jones had received the agenda for the Area Planning Meeting and noted that an enforcement notice had been served to stop unauthorised use of land at Green Lane.

Concern was raised about the current state of a property on Station Road. This would be discussed at the next meeting.
