New Applications

a.

19/01541/HSE - 6 Churchlands Bramley

Erection of a first floor side extension over existing garage

The following points were made:

• The applicant appears to have taken on board comments to previous applications.  This application appears to be a sensible compromise. 
• The applicant has suggested that there will be no trees within falling distance of the extension – members disagreed with this assessment, particularly noting the Scots Pine.

No objection, but comment as above.  Clerk to process.

Clerk

Minchens Lane development

• A letter has been sent to HCC Highways re the issues with the junction.  Responses have been received, agreeing that the developers are behind on some obligations with the junction.  Various reports are awaited, and HCC did state that if the junction was found to not be working as intended, then they would be requesting the developer review the design.
• The dead trees have been replaced with new saplings
• Two of the bollard lights have now been vandalised.  This has been reported, and the developer should be dealing with this in due course.
