1911. To consideration the following Planning Applications: -
a). For Representation by 1st December
2006
By agreement the application had been referred to the Environmental Planning Group who now reported their findings to the main meeting. These were:
· It was considered, after critical examination & a site visit, that the views of the two neighbours, who made representation, are in direct conflict with the views expressed by the applicants architect in the Design & Access statement submitted.
· Both neighbours remain unhappy with the revised proposals made by the applicant. Property No. 17 appears to be the most affected.
· It remains the policy of this Council to note & report the problems of any affected party where we consider, as in this case; there is valid cause for concern.
· It was considered outside the remit of the Council to state other than our interpretation of the facts of this case to MSDC. Accordingly a recommendation should be made that representatives of MSDC visit the site to make their own assessment & reach a final decision
The Clerk was instructed to advise MSDC of the above matters.
b). Any other applications received prior to the meeting.
BA/06 (per WSCC) Balcombe Wastewater Treatment Works, London Road construction of a new Motor Control Kiosk & a new Blower Kiosk agreed to consider at the December meeting of the Council.
There being no further business the meeting
closed at 20.03 hours.
