Casey commented that they would remind those at tea & chat on the Saturday. Cllr Bithray agreed to say a few words representing the Parish Council.
(e) Parish Partnership Scheme – Clerk confirmed the pedestrian crossing and building out of the pavement to reduce the radii of the corner will be 50% funded by NCC Highways. Council discussed the additional cost of adding a drop-kerb outside 102 Lynn Road to discourage people from parking on the road there, so close to the turn would be agreeable if it were in the region of £500. Clerk to speak to Highways.
(f) The Common – Council discussed a management plan put forward by Beowulf Arboriculturist following a fallen tree over the PRoW a few months ago. Clerk to action the suggestion to cut down any dangerous or dead wood near the paths shown on the map. Clerk also commented that UK Power Networks had called today re: removing overgrown branches 3m either side of the power lines.
(g) A149 Speed reduction consultation – Following a discussion the Council asked the Clerk to respond in objection to the proposed junction closures and to make clear that they do not want to do anything that would increase the through-traffic through Ingoldisthorpe.
(h) Local Plan Review consultation – Cllr Wilson suggested Councillors become familiar with the relevant pages for Ingoldisthorpe and urged people to look thorugh it. His opinion is that the Council look at formulating a neighbourhood plan.
7. Planning – Council discussed the planning applications in the table below. No other planning applications were received between the Agenda & the meeting.
Cllr Wilson stated in reference to 19/00421/O (to which he had earlier declared an interest)that the area in question were all cottage gardens until 30/40 years ago, it has since fallen into disuse. A detailed tree survey has been carried out, there is no plan to clear the site and they are not talking about 5 trees being cut down.
Cllr Devereux spoke to the Planning Officer this morning as Henry Bellingham MP had asked him to. It is an outline planning application and the designs are only indicative plans, they are not material at this stage. The TPOs are a matter of interest as is the access. Visibility of the splay could be an issue. Planning are still awaiting a statement from Highways w.r.t the application. They expect 8 vehicle passages per day for one dwelling. If the Parish Council did lodge an objection he could call it in to be discussed at planning committee.
