The Committee had NO OBJECTION to the following applications:
P10.76.1 EWB/10/02547/FUL Mr And Mrs Tye Le Var East Bracklesham Drive Bracklesham
Proposed 4 bed residential dwelling.
P10.76.2 EWB/10/03002/DOM Mrs Jacqi Todd Horsenden 6 Oakfield Avenue EW
Resubmission of previously approved application EWB/10/00552/DOM to extend dwelling to north – east, alter roof and re-fenestration to entire dwelling.
The Committee OBJECTED to the following application:
P10.76.3 Amended planning application 10/02314/FUL for logging business at Longacre, Bracklesham Lane, Bracklesham.
Reasons: Object to continuation of logging business at this location within the site. Recommend moving it to NE boundary where there is no neighbouring property. Request restriction to working and delivery hours: 9-5 Monday to Friday, 9-12 Saturdays and no Bank Holidays or Sundays. Also look at ways of reducing noise by means of a sound reducing barrier fence.
Further to an email from CDC on 19.7.10 the Parish Council maintains its objection with further comment that it considers the business can be moved to NE boundary between pitch 2 and utility building as this completely avoids the power line as well as adjacent residential properties. The southern boundary and the area NE of the workshop should remain an open space and not be used for residential or business purposes.
P10.77 The Clerk provided an updated list of decisions regarding planning applications.
