Planning:
From
previous applications:
New
Applications:
2010/0777 Flitters Hall, Llandewi – Addition of rear porch.
Council
were of the view that thre were no objections to this proposal. However Council
noted the proliferation of extensions and additions to this property in the
recent past and requested that Planning Dept. take an overview of this level of
development.
2010/0694 Cherry Tree Cottage, Port Eynon. Addition of detached garage and flat over.
Council
were of the opinion that this was a substantial new development within an area
where several new additions and extensions had been, or were being, carried out
and it represented ‘over-development’ of the site contrary to the principles
and objectives of the AONB status. Council reiterated previous concerns over
additional vehicle movements in the narrow access lane, restrictions on parking,
inadequacy of existing water supply and sewage disposal, etc. Council
recommended a site visit by Area Planning Committee and that proposal should not
be accepted.
2010/0861
Maranatha, Port Eynon. Two storey side
extension.
Council
were of the opinion that this formed part of a substantial redevelopment of the
existing property within an area where several additions and extensions had
been, or were being, carried out and it represented ‘over-development’ of
the site contrary to the principles and objectives of the AONB status. Council
noted that the planning application and design statements were somewhat
misleading. Also that the indicated 5 parking spaces were unrealistic in that
they did not comply with planning guidelines and could not be satisfactorily
accessed. Council reiterated previous concerns over additional vehicle movements
in the narrow access lane, restrictions on parking, inadequacy of existing water
supply and sewage disposal, etc. Council recommended a site visit by Area
Planning Committee and that proposal should not be accepted.
2010/0837
– Rose Cottage, Port Enon. Extension of Period for Plnning Permission.
Council
noted the reasons for previous permitted works not being carried out i.e
inability to engage specialist contractors, presumably roof thatchers, and were
of the opinion that this claim was unlikely to be correct. Council were of the
opinion that the extension should be refused and that a new application should
be made.

Correspondence:

036/10
Knelston Burial Ground.
Finalisation of transfer deeds was still awaited.
Cllr. Newland enquired as to who was currently carrying out the garden maintenance and noted that a much better job was being done this year. Council noted that as soon as transfer was completed arrangements would have to be put into place to continue with the maintenance.
Clerk advised that he would follow this up as soon as possible.
038/10 Any Other Business:
Cllr Newland
raised the problem of beach parties and barbecues on the beach following the
recent fine weather. Council noted that there were apparently no bye-laws to
prevent this activity and as a consequence the police could not take any action
unless there were other issues such as noise, underage drinking, etc. local
residents should be encouraged to make reports to the police of any incidences
that would constitute a breach of the peace.
