Parish Council Report from March 2013
There were four members of the public present, together with District Councillor Atkinson. District Councillor Oakley and County Councillor Perry sent their apologies. A resident from Forshaw Heath raised concerns of unacceptable noise from Becketts Farm at unsociable hours. The resident also report another incident where a large vehicle attending Mr Becketts property to deliver a crane, ended up in a ditch, taking out the power supply to a number of households. The resident stated that this is yet another example of why Forshaw Heath Road is not suitable for heavy goods vehicles. The Parish Council agreed to contact Stratford District Council on behalf of the resident. Another resident enquired about the credence given to petitions in the case of planning decisions, particularly the petition that was submitted recently regarding signage at The Limes, Forshaw Heath. Cllr Keogh confirmed that the petition was very briefly considered at the Planning Committee meeting. Cllr Willmott stated that individual letters carry more weight and that generally a petition is worth one letter. Cllr Atkinson confirmed again that the petition, although presented to the committee did not necessarily influence the decision. Cllr Atkinson did highlight a point raised by the presenting officer that flag poles can be erected on private land and planning permission is not required as long as the flag poles fly the National flag. Report from District Councillor Atkinson Cllr Atkinson had attended a Build in Excellence Awards meeting where a barn conversion at Forshaw Heath Park Farm had been awarded a top award, for a grade II listed holiday let. Cllr Atkinson suggested that this may be something the Parish Council would wish to advertise. Cllr Atkinson stated that recycling collectors can now take small household electrical items, textiles, household batteries (excluding car batteries), again Cllr Atkinson suggested this may be something positive to advertise. Cllr Atkinson had distributed Actionenergy leaflets for residents who need assistance/advice regarding their heating during winter months. Cllr Atkinson highlighted an agenda item, entitled imposing conditions on planning permissions, which he argued is carried out as part of the decision making process. The Parish Council agreed to contact Stratford District Council for guidance on how conditions requested by the Parish Council to be included in decision notices, which are not granted, can by appealed or explained. Cllr Atkinson finally made a request to the Parish Council to amend its headed paper to exclude Solihull in the address and to state Warwickshire instead. Cllr Atkinson briefly mentioned Permitted Development Rights, in light of successful appeal re the property Appledore, Blind Lane. Cllr Atkinson had made the Clerk aware of a circular available giving details of when PDRs can be withdrawn. Report from County Councillor Perry Councillor Perry was not present but had sent the following report re bollards in Malthouse Lane keyhole verge Cllr Perry informed us that WCC use proper oak posts which cost 100 per post, WCC wont install the posts as it is an unadopted road. Cllr Perry suggested sourcing cheaper posts from a local merchant. All other issues will be reported on at the next meeting.
