Planning Application; 12/00132/CTA Pruning and tree & hedge removal( Adjacent to) The Elms Elms Lane. Gareth Dyer ; Resolved; the council have no objections to these works.
-
Planning Application ; 12/01821/FUL ; Out Buildings to The Elms; Elms Lane . Outbuildings to dwelling. NEW PLANNING APPLICATION: Resolved ; Burton Overy Parish Council would like to OBJECT to the above application for the following reasons:
-
First and foremost whilst these out buildings once served the main house (now subdivided into two separate dwellings [by the current owner of the outbuildings]) and their close proximity was once an asset to their usefulness it is this very juxta positioning and close relationship to the main house that makes this application to ‘convert’ them in to a separate dwelling totally inappropriate. They are about 5 metres away. Visual privacy for the existing properties would be destroyed by the internal overlooking intrusion from property to property.
-
It is believed that the current out buildings are populated by bats, and we can see no bat survey with this application.
-
We believe that the area proposed for parking is outside of the village development boundary but also within the village conservation boundary and hence consider the development of this space for parking to be inappropriate. We also believe that this area is prone to flooding.
Internally the proposed dwelling has height issues in that to get from
-
the stairs to bedroom no. 2 we believe there is insufficient headroom and is likely to necessitate the proposed height to be increased further.
We recommend that a site visit by the planning committee is crucial.
-
Parish Council Standing Orders. Specimen draft s/o’s have been distributed and will be read in preparation for introduction at the next meeting. The councillors Code Of Conduct was confirmed as adopted by unanimous decision by the councillors, all of whom have a copy of the May 2007 code of conduct.

The clerk had attended the meeting and the most useful item was the possible use of Twitter & face-book as a means of distributing information and issues. A meeting of The clerk & Tina Britt the LCC officer will be arranged to bring the P.C. website up to date.
