PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Devon & Cornwall
Police:
There was no police presence at the meeting
but the Clerk presented their report, a copy of which is
appended to these minutes.
Members expressed concern at the fact that
there had been no police attendance at a Parish Council meeting
since March. They also discussed the matter of the Foundry Bus
Shelter and in general terms the activities of some of the
younger element of the parish.
The Chairman briefly reopened the meeting to
enable a vote to be taken.
RESOLVED:
1. To note the Police Report.
2. That the Clerk write to the Police
stating that it was regrettable that there had been no
police presence at a Parish Council meeting since March and
to ask that a representative attend the July meeting.
3. That the Clerk also express to the
Police the concern of the Parish Council over the behaviour
of certain of the younger element and to request that more
effective action be taken in this regard.
Proposed by Cllr Vincent, seconded by Cllr
Mrs Kavanagh and carried unanimously by those who voted. Cllr
Nightingale did not vote as he felt he needed clarification of
"more effective action".
MINUTE 05/06/10
Cornwall Councillor Neil Plummer:
Cllr Plummer was not present at the meeting
but the Clerk presented a report containing Cllr Plummer’s
e-mail response to the Parish Council’s request for him to
attend this meeting to explain his actions in respect of a
planning application relating to Ivy Cottage, South Road.
There was discussion over Cllr Plummer’s
apparent lack of support of the Parish Council’s views.
It was accepted without a vote that there was
little point in pursuing the matter further.
Members of the Public:
Norman Garlick advised that he was attending
at the request of the Parish Council to further discuss the
Rugby Club’s request to site a storage container on the playing
field.
He stated that the club now had an
experienced coach who was keen to improve the standard of
training and therefore needed to safely store new equipment. The
only presently available space was in the visitors’ Changing
Room, which was not practical for obvious reasons.
Various possibilities had been discussed,
including a new pavilion but this would be dependent upon
security of tenure and would also be in the longer term – in the
shorter term, more storage was required and a container was one
(tentative at this stage) possibility.
Mr Garlick was seeking Parish Council
approval in principle before pursuing the matter further.
Subject to this approval, he would obtain estimates of cost and
hopefully report to the July Parish Council meeting. |
|
|
There being no other matters raised under
public participation, the Chairman reopened the meeting at
19.45.
RESOLVED to support in principle the
temporary siting by the Rugby Club of a metal storage container
on the old playing field subject to any necessary approvals.
Proposed by Cllr Nightingale, seconded by
Cllr Vincent and carried unanimously.
MINUTE 06/06/10
Mr Garlick, having thanked the Parish Council
for their consideration of the matter, left the meeting at this
point at 19.46. |

TREES
Parish Tree Warden’s Report:
Jim Lyle, the Parish Tree Warden, reported
verbally to the meeting.
He stated that he had contacted Colin Hawke
about TPOs and that Oliver Bennett was trying to organise a
visit to Stithians PC to discuss the matter.
He advised that the TPO map was in the
process of being updated and that he would receive a copy when
it was available.
He had been consulted again about the trees
in the property on the corner of Collins Parc that were causing
damage to the wall adjacent to the footpath. He had referred the
owner to Cornwall Council’s Planning department as the trees
were subject to a TPO.
Regarding the letter received from the
Woodland Trust pointing out that Half Moon Wood was now ten
years old and suggesting that the village organise events in
August in celebration of the fact, he advised that he was in the
process of organising a Teddy Bears’ Picnic for 28th
August. He would be circulating Posters after Stithians Show and
would be applying to the Woodland Trust for funding as they had
suggested.
He would also further investigate their offer
of free trees, bearing in mind the need fro replacements in the
Playing Field.
The above information was duly noted.
The Chairman thanked Mr Lyle for his
continued work on behalf of the Council whereupon he left the
meeting at 19.55. |

Planning Applications Received:
PA10/00404/F – Mr & Mrs C Ardagh – Conversion
of redundant building into dwelling – Penhalveor East Farm.
Cllr Nicholls presented his report, a copy of
which is appended to these minutes.
The Chairman informed the meeting that he had
been advised by the Planning Officer that this should be treated
as a new application.
RESOLVED NOT to support the application on
the following grounds:
1. The footprint of the proposed building
is considerably larger than that of the existing making this
new build rather than conversion.
2. Given the increase in height, the
adequacy of the existing foundations is questionable.
3. The proposed access in on a blind
bend.
FURTHER RESOLVED to inform Cornwall Council
that the Parish Council also notes that the design of the
property (five en-suite bathrooms in particular) is such that it
has the potential for some kind of commercial use (i.e. Bed &
Breakfast). The concern then would be the additional amount of
vehicle movements on and off the site via a very poor access
with regard to sight lines.

Mrs Kavanagh and carried unanimously.
