18/53 PLANNING. S/18/1353 for Demolition of agricultural buildings & erection of 5 dwellings. Chiseldon Farm, Draycot Foliat.
There is a letter on the planning portal of the SBC website showing the objections raised to this proposal by the forward planning dept.
It states the proposal is in conflict with the SBC local plan; doesn’t fall within a supported housing category in the NPPF; has public transport issues due to the remoteness of the site and has no affordable housing on the plan.
The committee also noted that it was visible from Liddington Castle and is within the North Wessex Downs AONB.
The committee agreed that these points were all relevant to the planning application
A proposal was made that the comments above form the comments back to SBC Planning with an objection to this plan. Cllr Harris proposed this, Cllr Rawlings seconded and all Cllrs were in favour.
18/54. PLANNING. S/HOU/18/1455 Rear dormer window. 19 New Road, Chiseldon
There were no objections or comments to this application.
A resolution was made that this application be approved by the Parish Council. Cllr Harris proposed this resolution, Cllr Rawlings seconded and all Cllrs were in favour.
18/55. PLANNING S/18/1434 Installation of sewerage works. Unicorn Business Park. The Ridgeway, Chiseldon.

The Parish Council were not mandatory consultees of this application and as such decided not to pass comment on to SBC in regards to this application.
18/57. PLANNING. Review planning list
There were no comments on the planning list.
18/58. PLANNING – ACV for Calley Arms pub in Hodson.
The merits of the Parish Council requesting an ACV (Asset of Community Value) were discussed by the committee. As this does not tie the Parish Council in to any commitment, it just means that any interested parties have a 6 week time period to propose a plan to SBC to run the asset as a community venture, it was decided to take it to full council for final vote as the Planning Committee had no issues or objections and proposed this went to full council in favour of applying for an ACV for the Calley Arms.
Clerk to add to October Full council agenda.
18/58. CIL request for New Road application
If the New Road application goes ahead it is prudent for the Parish Council to advise SBC on how they would like the Parish portion of CIL applied.
This can be used for additional new parking spaces for example, or funding for a community transport system. New play areas or improvements to play areas – for example a new play area at the Rec ground with outside gym equipment. Road safety measures could also be requested.
The Clerk would need to contact SBC to advise on these requests.
The Planning Committee would also need to state the Parish Councils willingness to take on maintenance for any new housing areas created when contacted for comments on the application. (such as grass cutting, litter bins and dog bins etc)
18/59. TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT. 6 areas of concern document
The document had been circulated prior to the meeting. The committee went through the areas of this document.
- M4 J15 improvements. An update on any progress is needed from SBC and Ward Cllrs.
- New Road/Aa346 junction. The idea was raised that if the New Road application does go ahead, an item to be negotiated with developers and SBC could be a left hand turn slip road onto the A346.
- New Road build out – no update at this time
- Patriot’s Arms roundabout – no update at this time
- Parking issues – this area is being worked on – with Norris Close hopefully benefitting in 2019/20. Castle View Road and Windmill Piece to also be looked at.
- New Road/Mays Lane road surface. This will hopefully be re-surfaced by SBC in Spring 2019 pending consultation.
The document will have an additional item added which is 20mph speed limits in rural areas such as Badbury and Hodson.
The Clerk is to update the document.
18/60 TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT Hodson Road Speed activated sign
There are 2 current options investigated by Cllr Jefferies and she is waiting on information on a third. The current information has been circulated to all Committee members. The decision on which sign to purchase is to be made at the next meeting.
The location on Hodson Road is to be investigated by Cllr Hill, Cllr Jefferies and the Clerk and brought back to the next meeting for a decision.
18/61 HIGHWAYS. New Road build out. Cllr Mills reports.
As Cllr Mills was not in attendance, this item has been moved to the next meeting.
18/62. HIGHWAYS. Norris Close parking area.
There was no new information from SBC on this item so it was moved to the next meeting.
18/63. HIGHWAYS. Hodson Safe passing area
There are a couple of questions before any decisions can be made.
- Is it legally acceptable to create this parking space? If it is used as part of the Highway and there is a traffic issue – who is responsible?
- Is there actually a problem that requires the expenditure to fix it
- Is the problem (if there is one) worth £900 to remedy it as Precept money will be used.
It was decided that Cllr Walton who lives in Hodson would be asked to find out local opinion and report back. To be added to next meeting agenda.
18/64 BUDGET ITEMS FOR 2019/20 Precept. Anything further items to add?
There were no extra items to request in the budget from this committee.
18/65. AOB
Cllr Brady advised that SBC Enforcement would be visiting the property on New Road near the layby to ensure they do not drive over the grassed area to park in their front garden.
Cllr Hill advised that the X5 bus has seen a lot of new passengers since 2nd Sept. This means there are more people crossing the A346. The question was again raised of whether it needs a proper crossing place in the middle of the dual carriageway. (Near Butts Road)
Meeting closed at 21.00
