21/04 CURRENT STATE PROJECTS

How the Bio-diversity and Crime Prevention Policies can be introduced into Committee decisions.

  • Committee Chairman to make sure Cllrs are aware of the policies when making decisions
  • A check list is needed for Planning decisions – quality of build and heating options etc
  • Pre-populated checklist for determining planning applications – to be compared against planning considerations.
  • Could also send this list to applicants to increase awareness of what CPC will be looking for
    Cllr Kearsey to start of this project and bring it to a Planning Committee meeting for discussion and vote.

Available Youth Provision in the Parish and any gaps.

  • Clerk to draw up a list of current provisions – to help the PC see what is on offer.
  • Clerk to contact Cllr Barnes about this project as Cllr Barnes showed an interest.
  • Monitor the progress SBC make with their new youth offering to see if it can benefit the parish.
  • To report back to EGPA committee for consideration of the way forward.

Emailed Newsletters

  • Look at Mail Chimp again as handles data protection and GDPR.
  • Talk to Kevin at Sanders in more detail about what we can do.
  • Arrange a site visit with Kevin for early 2022 to go over the website in general

21/05 SHORT – MEDIUM TERM PLANS

Joined up parish road safety/transport plan

  • Cllr Jefferies is working with Suzanne Coles at SBC in regards to removing the Build Out. CPC cost but SBC to make the decision
  • CPC didn’t vote in favour of the proposed petition to make SBC consider 20mph zones.
  • Weight limits – the issue with these is that they don’t apply to access. Every HGV going through the parish is using the roads as access.
  • Can we consider raised junctions – costs could be prohibitive.
  • Should there be more contact with SBC Highways on these matters as they are the highway authority and not CPC.
  • CPC cannot do any work without approval as they are not the highway authority.
  • CPC are limited on funds to provide solutions. Would need to raise precept or reduce reserves which would in time lead to the precept being raised.
  • Create a map of the parish noting all traffic issues. Present to Planning Committee and ask Cllr Jefferies to be involved in how we can present this to SBC Highways.
  • Will show CPC are aware of all the issues faced
  • SBC will not act on New Road for example until the Earthline appeal is complete
  • Ask other PC’s how they dealt with traffic issues locally.

Forecast national costs leasing to increased precept

  • The PC are aware of these issues but there are no simple solutions
  • The addition of new homes at Burderop Park will increase the tax base possibly allowing a small precept raise in future years which will not affect residents due to the tax base being higher.

Burderop Park Welcome letter.

  • A good idea to welcome residents to this new larger development. (The first in the area for many years)
  • Can leave copies in the sales office for all residents and ask Handyman to also deliver door to door once complete.
  • Admin Officer to co-ordinate as they created the last newsletter.
  • Bring back to Planning Committee for approval.

21/06 LONG TERM PLANS

The committee felt that there were enough opportunities for the PC within the immediate and short/medium term plans. The council is at its most productive level since records began.
