Discussion with Simon Newport:

Mr Newport, Commercial Director, introduced himself and Mel Williams, Operations Manager for Cornwall.

He gave a brief outline of how First Cornwall had operated since taking over Truronian and detailed the various services serving Stithians, including the types of bus used and why.

He advised that the T14 (now 42) service was currently out to tender and they may or may not be operating it as a result.

He alluded to problems of providing low floor buses in advance of the DDA deadline of 2015 for single deckers and 2017 for double deckers and stated that until those dates the company had no duty to do so, although they would very much like to but were extremely constrained financially.

He addressed several complaints ranging from dirty buses, inappropriate timetables and bad timekeeping to buses not following the correct routes and asked Mr Williams to investigate several of the complaints received.

Mr Newport offered to return in twelve months’ time to discuss what progress had been made.

There being no other matters raised for public participation, the Chairman thanked Messers Newport and Williams for their attendance, whereupon they and the members of the public left the meeting. Mr Davis also left, stating that he had nothing to add following the discussion that had just taken place. The Chairman reopened the meeting at 20.25.

TRANSPORT

Transport Representative’s Report:

Nothing further to report.

TREES

Parish Tree Warden’s Report:

Jim Lyle, the Parish Tree Warden, had nothing to report on matters immediately appertaining to the Parish.

He referred to an e-mail forwarded to him by the Clerk which had been received in response to an instruction to the Clerk at the January meeting to ask Cornwall Council how work approved to trees was checked.

The short answer is that work is not checked and Cornwall Council had suggested that training, if indeed it was necessary, could be given to the Tree Warden to enable him to check the work.

Mr Lyle indicated that he was willing to check work done and suggested that "before" photographs should be submitted with applications and then a card sent to either CC or SPC when the work was complete so that a check could be made (a similar process to that used by Building Control).

RESOLVED that the Clerk write to Cornwall Council expressing Mr Lyle’s willingness to receive training as appropriate and making them aware of his procedural suggestion.

Proposed by Cllr Vincent, seconded by Cllr Mrs Kavanagh and carried unanimously.

MINUTE 04/02/10

Mr Lyle left the meeting at this point at 20.40 having been thanked by the Chairman for his attendance.

Grass Cutting – Lower Churchyard:

The Clerk presented his report, a copy of which is appended to these minutes.

Cllr Vincent advised that there was no chance of any money being forthcoming from the Diocese.

There was discussion over whether it would be possible to apply for closure of the lower churchyard, for which an application, with its attendant costs, would have to be made to the lord Chancellor. This was dismissed as too expensive and fraught with obstacles.

The Clerk was of the opinion that the PCC should meet some of the cost of grass cutting and Cllr Vincent stated that, whilst it may not be possible to provide hard cash, it may be possible to off-set some of the cost by volunteer labour.

RESOLVED:

1. To note the information provided re grass cutting in the lower churchyard.

2. That the Clerk obtain from Tyrone Martin an estimate of cost for cutting both churchyards eight times a year.

MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES OF THE DECEMBER COUNCIL MEETING

Para 7.2.2: In response to a question from Cllr Biscoe, the Clerk advised that he had actually taken the leave requested as annual leave and not sickness.

Minute 08/12/09(2): The Clerk asked if the Diocese had been approached for financial assistance with the cutting of the lower churchyard. Cllr Vincent was unsure but undertook to raise the matter at the next PCC meeting. There was discussion as to whether a sum of money should be mentioned.

RESOLVED that Cllr Vincent raise the matter of financial assistance from the Diocese towards the cutting of the lower churchyard at the next PCC meeting and to state that the annual cost thereof was likely to be £1,500.

Proposed by Cllr Biscoe, seconded by Cllr Shankar and carried. The Chairman and Cllr Vincent declared an interest and did not vote.

MINUTE 02/01/10

Para 11.1.4: Cllr Vincent advised that the problems at the entrance to the new cemetery had been caused by leaves on the highway not permitting water to flow off the slope. This had been rectified by members of the PCC and it was noted that the Clerk had included an item to cover this in the new contract for cemetery maintenance to be considered later in the meeting.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING DELIVERY

Jody Jeffrey, Cornwall Council’s Affordable Housing Officer for the West Area, explained that the team now sat within the planning service whereas in previous authorities it had be within Environmental Health.

He explained that the next step, having undertaken a survey, was to analyse the results and assess the need.

He presented an analysis of the results received, a copy of which is appended to the minutes and advised that the response rate had been less than 10%, considerably less than that which would normally be accepted as giving a reliable indication of need.

Nevertheless, ten responses had expressed a need and this could possibly justify a small scheme if a developer were to propose one.

There was considerable debate over the best way forward.

RESOLVED that a further Door to Door Survey be carried out at a later date in conjunction with a further survey for the Community Structure Plan.

Proposed by Cllr Vincent, seconded by Cllr P Tisdale and carried unanimously.

MINUTE 03/01/10

Jody Jeffrey agreed to provide further samples of questionnaires for consideration at the appropriate time.

The Chairman thanked Mr Jeffrey for his attendance at the meeting whereupon he left at 19.35.

COMMUNITY STRUCTURE PLAN

The Clerk advised that he had received the responses and had quickly analysed them, the result of which he circulated to Members and is appended to these minutes. He advised that there had been a very poor response rate (12% stated on the analysis but since the meeting correctly calculated at 8.47%).

He pointed out, however, that it had revealed seven people who were willing to serve on the Steering Committee.

The Clerk pointed out that, because of his illness, he had not been party to this finalised consultation forms and was therefore unaware that three cash prizes had been offered in a draw of numbered forms returned. He stated that, had he been aware of this, he would have advised against it as it was inappropriate use of public money. He advised that the person who decided to do this, if he wished to honour the matter, would have to provide the funds from his own pocket. However, only eleven of the forms had been completed in respect of the sender.

It was acknowledged that the number of forms returned was insufficient to form the basis of a Community Structure Plan and there was discussion as to the best way forward.

RESOLVED that the matter be placed on the agenda for the April meeting for reconsideration, prior to which a further meeting of the Steering Group to include the potential new members mentioned above would be held which would report to the April meeting.

Proposed by Cllr Biscoe, seconded by Cllr Shankar and carried unanimously.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Devon & Cornwall Police:

Both PC Cook and PSCO Huddlestone had sent their apologies but the Clerk presented PC Cook’s report, a copy of which is appended to these minutes.

This was duly noted.

Cllr Vincent drew members’ attention to several matters including vandalism, stones being pulled from a wall in Crellow Hill, noise from the Seven Stars well into the early hours and the fact that the trailer was still parked on the road at Foundry.

Cllr Biscoe advised that the matter of the trailer had been looked into by Police previously and it had been found to comply with all legal requirements at that time.

It was agreed that these matter would be raised the next time there was a police presence at a meeting.

Cornwall Councillor Neil Plummer:

Cllr Plummer was not present at the meeting

Members of the Public:

Diane and John Bell voiced their concerns that incidences of large vehicles taking wrong turnings and having difficulty in turning round were increasing and cited a recent example where a wall had been badly damaged.

Cllr Vincent advised that he had spoken to the Area Surveyor about the particular incident that was mentioned and responsibility for repair of the wall rested with the owners of the wall and/or the vehicle.

Mr and Mrs Bell were of the opinion that signs were necessary in various parts of the Parish advising of the unsuitability of certain roads for large vehicles.

It was noted that they intended to write to the County Council on the matter and that they intended to copy their letter to the Clerk. Cllr Vincent stated that he would contact Andy Bartle, the Area Surveyor on the matter.

 

 

 

 

There being no other matters raised for public participation, the Chairman reopened the meeting at 19.50.

TRANSPORT

Transport Representative’s Report:

Rod Davis, the Council’s Transport Representative, had little to report. He advised that there had been considerable disruption to services in the recent snow and that for some time they were restricted to the main roads away from the village as bus routes were not necessarily included on the CC gritting schedule unless they happened to be A roads.

It was pointed out that this issue had been taken up with Cornwall Council but to little avail.

Mr Davis asked if Simon Newport from First Devon and Cornwall would be attending the February meeting. The Clerk advised that Mr Newport was intending to attend.

The Chairman thanked Mr Davis for his continued work whereupon he left the meeting at 19.55.

TREES

Parish Tree Warden’s Report:

Jim Lyle, the Parish Tree Warden, had nothing to report on matters appertaining to the Parish.

He advised of a Workshop on the pruning of apple trees to be held on Saturday 23rd January at Tehidy Country Park and invited any interested Member to attend.

The Chairman thanked Mr Lyle for his continued work for the Parish.

Current Financial Position:

Cllr Biscoe questioned the amount of money ring fenced for the Bowling Club. The Clerk advised that the sum of £1,000 held in the Playing Field Reserve was actually for legal expenses in connection with the footpath diversion to enable the Bowling Club extension. He further stated that monies raised towards the Bowling Club extension and held by the PC had been paid over to them in November.

Cllr Biscoe asked what the Development Fund was ear marked for and was informed by the Clerk that this was an oversight which would be corrected.

RESOLVED to note the Council’s current financial position as detailed in the report.

Proposed by Cllr Biscoe, seconded by Cllr Vincent and carried unanimously.

MINUTE 06/01/10

Institute of Local Council Management:

The Clerk presented his report, a copy of which is appended to these minutes. It was noted that there was inadequate financial provision in the 20010/11 Budget to accommodate all the costs likely to be incurred by the Clerk in satisfying the CPD requirement and that it would have to be financed from Reserves for the ensuing year. The Clerk estimated that the additional cost would be approximately £500, but could be slightly more depending upon what travel and accommodation costs were involved.

RESOLVED:

1. To permit the Clerk to make application to join the Institute of Local Council Management and to acknowledge the additional budgetary requirements.

2. To pay the Administration Fee of £15 immediately and the Membership Fees (currently £65 per annum) as they become due.

Planning Applications received after publication of the agenda:

The Clerk advised that one planning application had been received since the publication of the agenda. It had, however, been received too late to enable its proper consideration.

PA09/01414/F was for the retention of a domestic workshop/studio at Carn Vean, Tretheague Mill and the Clerk advised that, because of the date of receipt of the application, he had asked for an extension of time to enable the matter to be discussed at the next meeting. This had been granted, but the Planning Officer had requested some "informal feedback" from this meeting.

Members were of the opinion that there were too many aspects of the application that could only be addressed at a site meeting and therefore even informal feedback could not be given without a site meeting or at least speaking to the applicant.

RESOLVED to inform Cornwall Council that, because there were too many aspects of the application that could only be addressed at a site meeting, the Parish Council would be unable to respond to the application until after the next meeting on 16th February.

Proposed by Cllr Biscoe, seconded by Cllr P Tisdale and carried unanimously.

PARISH PLAN

Cllr Barkhuysen presented his report, a copy of which is appended to these minutes, suggesting the name be changed to a Community Structure Plan as it suggested more of a sense of belonging for the Village.

Questionnaire:

Cllr Barkhuysen expressed his disappointment in the fact that only 2 members had replied to his email asking for questions to put in the Parish Plan. Cllr P Tisdale said that he had spoken to the Clerk for Mabe PC who was going to pass him their original questionnaire for their plan.

The Chairman pointed out that due to lack of interest the Parish Council could do their own Plan, but it would not have the same power a grass roots plan would have.

It was suggested that the questions could be thinned and made more generalised, including some emotive questions which would make people want to reply. i.e. Do you know or have Children who would like affordable housing in the Village?

Cllr Barkhuysen had spoken to Judith Twigger about distribution, and they are hoping to have the questionnaire and Spotlight on Stithians ready for distribution the same time as the Village Hall Management Committee so that only 1 distribution is required.

Cllr Barkhuysen asked members to email him some questions they would like to see in the questionnaire by Friday 20th November if it is to be printed in time.

Resolved:

1. To note the report.

2. That Councillors would email questions for the Questionnaire by Friday 20th November 2009 to Cllr Barkhuysen.

Proposed by Cllr Barkhuysen, seconded by Cllr Mrs Kavanagh and carried unanimously.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Devon & Cornwall Police:

Apologies had been received from PC Dave Cook, and he had sent a report, a copy of which is attached to these minutes.

This was duly noted

Cornwall Councillor Neil Plummer:

Cllr Plummer was present. He said he was chasing people up about Carncrees, about which there should soon be a decision. From what he had heard, indications were that they were going to delegate a refusal.

He said that since the unitary authority had been in place communications had been getting worse. Having sent an email on the 1st October to Planning (copied to the Clerk) and having had no response from any of the correspondents he chased it up on the 6th November. Nicola Stinson replied immediately, saying she understood that others would have looked into it, and would chase it up to get someone to reply. To date he had had no response.

Cllr Plummer had requested a Radar Speed Check on the A394 from Helston at the Halvasso junction in Herniss.

He said that there are grants available to encourage Children to play in natural environments.

Cllr Plummer stated that things have got to get better (as they can’t get any worse) (talking about communication and Community Network Areas), and reminded everyone that he would reply as promptly as he could to any communication he receives.

Members of the Public:

Howard Jones said that after the Restorative Justice Meeting there had been no more anti-social behaviour at Gribbas Corner. He had also met with the other residents who mostly agreed that the bench on the corner would not be missed, and perhaps a flower bed would be nicer. There was only 1 resident, an elderly lady who was attached to the bench. It was pointed out that she did however, not use it.

 

There being no other matters raised for public participation, the Chairman reopened the meeting at 20.12.

Notification of Planning Decisions Received:

The planning list, a copy of which is appended to these minutes, was reviewed.

This information was duly noted.

Planning Applications received:

PA09/01359/FD – Ms C Baltrus – Continued use of take-away food shop without compliance with the proprietor occupying the adjoining property – Stithians Takeaway, New Road.

Cllr Barkhuysen presented his report, a copy of which is appended to these minutes. The Chairman expressed a concern about the number of cars and the lack of parking.

Resolved:

1. To support the application.

2. To investigate the enforcement of no parking 15m of a junction, enabling us to insist on having a traffic warden every now and then.

Proposed by Cllr Barkhuysen, seconded by Cllr Mrs Kavanagh and carried unanimously.

MINUTE 07/11/09

PA09/01410/LU – Mrs EM Cook – Certificate of Lawfulness for an existing use of dwelling in breach of agricultural occupancy condition – The Bungalow, Trevales Farm.

Cllr Barkhuysen presented his report, a copy of which is appended to these minutes. Cllr P Tisdale said he had contacted the NFU and was told that a Widow does not need to work the land to be able to live on it if her husband worked the land until retirement/death.

Cllr Barkhuysen asked for clarification of the condition on the property (item no 6 on the planning application – the Chairman found it).

Cllr Barkhuysen believed that Mrs Cook was breaching the condition by not working the land after her husband’s death, although it was pointed out to him that this was lawful several times.

There was a reluctance to support the application as the council did not want to support land profiteering and reducing the little affordable housing the village has. It was also seen as likely that if the land was split from the house then when someone does want to work the land they will have to put another building there to be able to work it.

Cllr Barkhuysen said that the Cooks had been breaching the condition by not coming from local employment – he said they had come from Reading.

Resolved:

1. Not to support the application.

2. To ask that a local person must next occupy.

3. To enquire as to why Kerrier did nothing about the matter when it was raised previously.

Proposed by the Chairman, Seconded by Cllr Vincent, and carried by Cllr Mrs Kavanagh and Cllr P Tisdale. Cllr Barkhuysen abstained.

MINUTE 08/11/09

PA09/01411/F – Mr & Mrs D Pledger – Erection of extension & alterations to dwelling – Kettle Cottage, Tregolls.

Cllr Barkhuysen, having declared a personal and prejudicial interest, left the meeting during consideration of this item.

Cllr P Tisdale presented his report, a copy of which is appended to these minutes. The only concern he and Cllr Mrs Kavanagh had was that the extension could be split into another property, although they considered this very unlikely owing to its size.

Resolved to support the application

Proposed by Cllr P Tisdale, seconded by Cllr Kavanagh and carried unanimously. MINUTE 09/11/0
