P10.76 New Planning Applications.

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.

10.111 Public Questions. None.

10.112 Police.

The Council received a report from PCSO Rose Bainbridge reporting on the recent speeding and drink driving campaigns. Newsletters will be posted on noticeboards to encourage people to come forward with information. There has been an increase in burglaries and suspicious door callers and people are urged to call 999 immediately if they have a suspicious caller. Complaints have been received about speeding traffic in Beech Avenue but to pursue this any further the Police need witnesses to report registration numbers.

10.113. District Councillor Graeme Barrett reported that the Local Development Framework consultation has been put on hold – see more details under Minute 10.119.

On 29 June 2010 members were briefed on the current budget situation by the Officers. In summary, we were advised that there will be a major cut in the Government Support Grant over the next 4 years and there is a freeze on the Council Tax charges for 2 years. However, Parish and Town Council precept will be permitted to rise.

At the next CDC Executive Board meeting on 13 July the Board will be asked to recommend that the facilities at Bracklesham Car Park should be refurbished and provide new toilets, showers and an improved café unit. There are no plans to make any changes to the other facilities in the Ward.

Also at the next Executive Board meeting on 13 July the Board will be asked to recommend that the District Solicitor amends the CDC (Off-street Parking Places) (Civil Enforcement and Consolidation) Order 2010 to implement parking charges.

County Councillor Pieter Montyn reported that WSCC Youth Services have to cut £2m from its budget and recommendations will be considered by the Select Committee on Wednesday 14 July 2010. He also requested that the Parish writes to David Lambert at WSCC with its request for a pedestrian crossing in Stocks Lane to be paid for out of Section 106 money that is available and that he would follow this up and report back to the Parish Council.

10.114 Finance.

10.114.1 The Council received a statement of the current financial position.

10.114.2 The Chairman had agreed and signed the bank reconciliation prior to the meeting.

Volwona (OakProperties) Office rent 400.00

Konica Minolta Photocopier rent 41.16

10.114.4 On a proposal from Cllr. Breeze, seconded by Cllr. O’Sullivan the following accounts totalling £2719.05 were approved for payment.

Doug Goodman Handyman contract June 2010 680 600.00

Doug Goodman Installing bench on Booker Green 680 200.00

J. Griffith Clerk’s salary June 2010 681 1181.61

Southern Electric Street Lighting Energy 686 341.27

EW PCC Churchyard water donation 687 47.25

British Gas Business Downview Pavilion supply 688 20.29

10.114.5 Proposed by Cllr. Lambert, seconded by Cllr. Main the Council agreed the appointment of Gwen Pritchitt as internal auditor for 2010-2011 pending confirmation of costs. Charges are based on income and the Parish Council will have an additional £330,000 pass through its account from the Big Lottery and WSCC which will go straight out to CDC to pay for the construction of Bracklesham Barn. This amount of income would normally take the internal audit charges into the top bracket but a request for a lower fee is to be made because of this particular one off situation.

10.114.6 CDC Dog Warden

The Council noted that the charges for this service were increased on 1 April 2010 from £36/hr to £45/hr. It felt that an increase of 25% is too high especially as it is not in the budget for this year. After lengthy discussion on a proposal by Cllr. Main, seconded by Cllr. Connon it agreed that in these circumstances it would be difficult to find this extra money and asked the Clerk to offer £40/hr.

10.115. Street Lights.

There was no report this month.

10.116 Christmas Lights.

Cllr. Lowe reported that local businesses have been asked to contribute towards the continuation of the Christmas Lights. In response to the advert the Working Party has been approached by electricians who are interested in quoting for work on the Christmas lights. After further discussions with them they will be asked to quote for certain works. The Working Party is still waiting for all the responses back from New Parade businesses to the question of them having lights. Unfortunately, the Race Night was cancelled due to lack of support but there will be more fundraising events in the future which will be displayed on noticeboards.

10.117 School Crossing in Stocks Lane.

The Chairman reported that he had attended the recent County Local Committee where it was on the Agenda. Several mothers from EW County Primary School also attended and presented a petition of some 200 names. It appears that there could be some money available through Section 106 contributions which come from local developments. It was agreed, with the support of County Councillor Pieter Montyn, that this proposal would now be explored further. On a proposal by Cllr. Gunning, seconded by Cllr. Lambert the Council agreed that a permanent pedestrian crossing should be installed. Also proposed by Cllr. O’Sullivan, seconded by Cllr. Lowe the Council agreed that this should be top priority as safe access to the main school entrance is vital to the community. As suggested by Cllr. Montyn it was agreed to submit this to Mr. David Lambert, Section 106 Projects Officer, WSCC Highways.

10.118 Leader or Directly Elected Mayor for Chichester District Council.

Proposed by Cllr. Breeze, seconded by Cllr. Main the Council agreed that a Leader would be its preferred option for Chichester District Council. Cllr. O’Sullivan and Connon asked that their objections be recorded.

10.119. Local Development Framework (LDF). The Council noted that the CDC consultation is on hold.

The District Council’s Local Development Framework Panel agreed on 23 June that it will recommend to the Council’s Executive Board that the Core Strategy should be put

on hold until there is clarification on:

• local infrastructure provision; and,

• future Government proposals for planning.

In coming to its decision, the Panel considered the continuing concerns over the capacity of local infrastructure and its ability to deal with growth. The capacity for waste water treatment, in particular, has been under close scrutiny, as has the A27 and traffic congestion. The Environment Agency, Natural England, the Highways Agency, Southern Water and West Sussex County Council have expressed their concerns.

10.120. Fire and Rescue Consultation – to receive comments from Councillors re. mail circulated to Councillors on 2 June. This was deferred to the September 2010 meeting.

10.121. Review of Risk Assessments

The Council reviewed the Risk Assessments presented by the Clerk and on a proposal by Cllr. Chaloner, seconded by Cllr. Main the Council agreed they were in order.

10.122 Village Hall – the Council noted the following report from Cllr. Lambert written on behalf of Cllrs. Pat Connon, Sylvia Main and Cllr. Lambert as appointed representatives to the Village Hall Committee.

Report:

Due to changes necessary in the running of the village hall it had become necessary to rewrite parts of the original Trust Deed and Constitution which had come into effect on 27th January 1975.

The main points that had to be considered concerned the charges made for the hire and requirements for using the rooms and the sole, free and exclusive use of the hall to the Parochial Church Council on all Sundays and Holy Week. These revisions had been going on for a couple of years and just recently the final changes had been agreed – or so it was thought.

At the meeting held on 2nd June, when the representative’s names of the organisations involved were being confirmed a member queried the validity of the standing of the three members from the Parish Council. The Chairman (Keith Smith) said this was in order and had been confirmed many years before. His statement was also confirmed by one of the original Trustees. However, being unable to provide the necessary paperwork immediately, the objection was upheld.

Another member then proposed that these councillors be co-opted to the committee – but without the right to vote – which was agreed. This came as a great embarrassment to us as it had never been raised in the past so as we prepared to walk out of the meeting – were asked to stay, which we did reluctantly.

At a subsequent sub-committee meeting on the Constitution, and on behalf of all three of us, I expressed our anger to the Chairman and said that at the next full meeting in September we expected the whole occurrence to be struck from the Minutes and that a public apology is made by that member.

Since then I have again spoken to the Village Hall Chairman and explained that those councillors elected by the Parish Council to represent them on the village hall committee are there by right and are not re-elected annually by the Village Hall Committee but only to have their names confirmed. If necessary, appropriate action must be taken in the new draft Constitution so that the Parish Council paragraph clearly reflects this.

Diana Strange, Chair of BBCA, arrived.

10.123. Bracklesham Park.

10.123.1 The Clerk reported that the main hall roof timbers should be arriving on Monday 12 July which will take 2-3 days to put up.

10.123.2 Cllr. Munday reported that the peeling paint on the railings to the play areas has been reported to the playground contractors and this is under investigation.

10.123.3 The Council gratefully accepted a donation of £25 from the BBCA towards reasonable photocopying to year end 31 March 2011.

10.123.4 The BBCA will be holding another Elvis Night on 31 July – look out for posters, tickets are available from Calamity’s Café. A Retro Night is also proposed, information will be found on noticeboards.

10.124 Parish Council Office.

Proposed by Cllr. Connon, seconded by Cllr. Munday the Council agreed to purchase a safe for £220. (Minute 09.96.7)

10.125. Meeting in August. On a proposal by Cllr. Chaloner seconded by Cllr. O’Sullivan the Council

agreed not to hold a meeting on 12 August and that any previously agreed payments can be made by the Clerk.

10.126 Urgent matters that the Chairman wishes to bring to the attention of the Council. None.

Change of use of loft space including rear dormer.

P10.69.7. EWB/10/02734/DOM Mr And Mrs R Chase Sunnyside Tamarisk Walk EW

Internal reorganisation to move living area to first floor. Formation of new north – facing dormer to form new kitchen. Construction of south facing balcony. Single storey rear extension. Cladding complete property in fibre cement boarding.

The Committee had NO OBJECTION but commented on the following applications:

P10.69.8. EWB/10/01886/DOM Mrs K. M. Fairbairn Somerswood House 144 Stocks Lane EW

Demolish existing single storey conservatories. Erect single storey rear and side extensions and new chimney stack. Comment: Further to confirmation from CDC that the chimney has been removed from the approved plans the Parish Council withdrew its objection.

P10.69.9 EWB/10/02478/DOM Mr R Harden Ashbury Kimbridge Road EW

Replacement, repositioned detached garage. Comment: This garage is not to be used for living accommodation.

The Committee OBJECTED to the following application:

P10.69.10 EWB/10/02482/FUL Driftwood Homes Ltd Land South Of 78 Stocks Lane EW

2 no. semi detached bungalows and associated works.

The Committee strongly OBJECT to this application for the following reasons:

The 2003 application for one bungalow was refused and the subsequent appeal was dismissed. For this reason two bungalows should also be refused.

The presence of two detached bungalows within the existing garage compound would not be in keeping with the character of the area. The transfer of the existing garage building into a bungalow would result in a building with a character and appearance that is incongruous with the character and appearance of the garage compound. The proposal would have an adverse effect upon the character of the area. This would conflict with the objectives of the relevant development plan policies.

The erection of fencing on the east boundary would be obtrusive to the residents of nos 74 and 76, which currently enjoy the relatively open landscape to the front gardens that was incorporated in the original design of the “estate”.

The lounge windows of the proposed bungalows would be immediately adjacent to the hard standing at the end of the compound. Because of this close relationship, the occupiers of the bungalows would experience an unacceptable amount of noise and disturbance from vehicles travelling along the access way through the compound, vehicles braking, vehicle doors slamming and garage doors being opened and closed.

The proposal would have an adverse effect upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the bungalow with particular reference to noise and disturbance and privacy. This would conflict with the relevant policies of the development plan.

The applicants have drawn attention to PPS3 of the National Policy Guidance, in particular that the proposal would help to satisfy the objective of making more efficient use of land within urban areas to provide new housing.

The applicant has drawn attention to other aspects of the National Policy Guidance, namely PPS3, which states that the more efficient use of land is to take place without compromising the quality of the environment. It can be seen that the proposal would indeed compromise the quality of the environment.

Whilst appreciating that the application will be assessed against the policies of the Development Plan (SE Plan and Local Plan) it must be borne in mind that it is the Government’s intention to abolish the SE Plan.

P10.70 The Clerk provided an updated list of decisions regarding planning applications.

Cllr. Jane Chaloner Cllr. John Gunning Cllr. Basil Lambert Cllr. Ray Lowe Cllr. Sylvia Main Cllr. Cedric Munday Cllr. Joe O’Sullivan

APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE: Cllr. Pat Connon

IN ATTENDANCE: County Councillor Pieter Montyn, District Councillor Graeme Barrett, PCSO Rose Bainbridge, Drew Allardice (Community Warden),

Mr.Andy Ekinsmyth, Service Manager-Transport (WSCC) and

Mr. Bob Norris

10.94 Declarations of Interest. None.

10.95 The minutes of the meeting held on 13 May 2010 were then confirmed by the Council as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

10.96 Matters arising from the last Council meeting not included on the Agenda.

None.

10.97 Public Questions. None.

Four members of the public arrived.

10.98 Police The Council received a report from PCSO Rose Bainbridge on incidents that have occurred in the last month. The incidents were considered quite low level but included burglaries and beach parties. The Council raised concern that both PCSO Bainbridge and Bromley were taken from the Parish to guard the site of the recent attempted robbery at Austen Jewellers in Chichester during fine weather in half term week when our population had increased substantially with the arrival of thousands of tourists. Proposed by Cllr. Lambert, seconded by Cllr. Tranchant the Clerk was asked to write to CI Ali Darge with these concerns.

10.99. Highway Safety. The Council received a detailed briefing from Mr.Andy Ekinsmyth, Service Manager-Transport in WSCC, regarding the various matters raised in relation to safety at the school in Stocks Lane, and in Church Road near St.Peter’s Church.

Stocks Lane – school crossing.

He reported that there had been no suitable response for the vacancy of school crossing person. He explained the financial implications involved in providing a permanent crossing and that due to the financial situation of WSCC all applications were graded. Stocks Lane, school entrance, had been studied and did not fall in the priority list therefore WSCC funding would not be available. Very rough guides to costs were £15-20,000 for a zebra crossing and £45-60,000 for a pelican crossing. He encouraged the Council and mothers who were attending the meeting to source some outside funding as the WSCC could possibly be facing a 75% cut in such things.

Church Road – speeding near St. Peter’s Church and the school entrance.

He reported that studies have been done and show that there is not an excessive speeding problem. The Council, representatives from the Church and members of the public queried the survey as many of them had personal experiences of speeding traffic in that area. The results of the survey prevent any further measures being put in place.

10.100 Reports from District and County Councillors.

District Cllr. Graeme Barrett reminded the Council that Parishes have been requested by CDC to decide their preference regarding either retaining the Leader of the Council, who is elected by the Members, or having a directly elected Mayor, elected by the Public. He reminded the Council that in August the Parish Council will be asked to comment on whether the Core Strategy Document is sound. He also reminded the P. Council that CDC has invited comments on its Consultation on new Grants and Concessions Policy. He concluded by reporting that the Emergency Plan is near completion.

County Cllr. Pieter Montyn reported that Louise Goldsmith is now Leader of WSCC and he now has the position of Deputy Portfolio Holder for Transport.

10.101.1 The Council received a statement of the current financial position.

Gunning the Council approved the accounts. Cllr. Lambert raised a few points for consideration for next year’s accounts which he was asked to submit to the Clerk.

10.102 Street Lights. A street light inspection was carried out on Wednesday 8 June between 9.15pm and 10pm and one light was found to be out: Col. 18 Bracklesham Lane. The Clerk has reported this fault.
