24/53. List of apologies with reason given and approval of those apologies.
Cllr Jackson has a work commitment, and Cllr Kearsey is on leave.
No apologies from Cllr Jefferies or Ford.
A proposal was made to approve the apologies given. The proposal was seconded and all Cllrs were in favour.
24/54. Declarations of Interest. None
Cllr Jefferies arrived at 19.37.
25/55. Public recess.
Ten members of the public, plus Conor Lee and Chris Minors representing Hannick Homes.
Comments received from the public were:
Public 1. Hopes Cllrs have seen comments on social media relating to the planning app. They believe the PC thought there was more support for the development than there actually is.
Public 2. Concerned about access along Mount Pleasant Lane. The proposal narrows access so larger vehicles would not be able to access the lane and the rights of way would be removed. A main sewer system is in the area and requires access for large vehicles which would be prohibited if the plans were approved. Advised that the SBC Highways response was that the site was “unsuitable for development”. This site is the problem, not building houses in general in the area. Believes the developers submission has inaccuracies and is misleading.
Public 3. Concerned over environmental impact and believes Washpool would suffer.
Conor Lee from Hannick Homes. Would like to talk directly with residents who have concerns over access issues. Would be happy to talk to SBC Highways about this issue as well. Mentioned the need to create housing for older residents to downsize so that family homes can be released for new families. Also a need for affordable housing.
Andrea and Nick Pellegram introduced themselves as planning consultants to the PC who will ensure the response sent back to SBC is as comprehensive and accurate as possible. Advised they worked with CPC on the NHP.
24/56. Approval of minutes from 29th August 2024. No changes
A proposal was made to approve these minutes as an accurate reflection of the meeting. The proposal was seconded and all Cllrs were in favour.

24/58. PLANNING. Discuss and vote on S/OUT/24/0982. Outline planning application (with all matters except access reserved) for the erection of up to 42 no. dwellings, open space, landscaping and associated engineering works. Land at Hodson Road , Chiseldon.
A summary of discussed items:
Cllr Rawlings believes that there are still issues with Thames Water and other utilities not being able to cope with extra homes. Tankers still have to visit the area to remove excess waste. Excess rain can flood the area. What happens to the proposed attenuation pond in the summer when its just mud? Where will the excess site water go?
Cllr Howlett noted the 56 comments on the planning portal from the public. 26 references to drainage/sewerage issues. Adding more houses would be problematic. 43 comments over the area being part of the AONB. There are “5 Golden Rules” of development within the NPPF which appear to rule out building here.
Cllr Stevens commented that access to the site was still a concern and that public comments were relevant.
Cllr Rawlings also noted the concerned over site access and that SBC Highways had currently objected.
He believes there cannot be a path built to the Hodson Road bus stop on the left when exiting the site to the left due to the drainage ditch.
Cllr Jefferies noted comments on lack of Drs availability, however notes that the school has plenty of spaces for children. Unfortunately providing more Drs is not something CPC or SBC can provide. Also noted that she believed that with no new development in the parish that the parish would “die”.
A general comment was made on what constitutes an affordable home. Andrea Pellegram reminded that CPC’s draft NHP contains a section on housing needs for the parish.
Cllr Hinton commented that there would definitely be no affordable housing if no new houses were built at all.
Cllr Howlett noted that the Gov was proposing to increase the number of affordable housing required from 30% to 50%. Does this mean that less developers will want to build new homes?
Cllr Turley noted that as the application is currently outline only a lot more detail would be needed to know whether issues were addressed to see if it became more viable.
It was noted that an informal meeting could be held (with no decisions made) for Cllrs before the application next comes back for a CPC vote so that Cllrs can ensure they are up to date with the latest legislation and specifics for any further application submitted. It was agreed this would be a good idea.
A proposal was made to reply with an objection for this application in its current form. The proposal was seconded and a majority of Cllrs were in favour. There was 1 abstention to voting.
Nick Pellegram will draft CPC’s reply and sent it to the Clerk on Monday 30th Sept for consideration.

24/63. PLANNING. Approve a list of justifications on why the PC should be provided with S106 funds from SBC to allow them to improve/maintain/create a footpath from the edge of Chiseldon on Hodson Road to the Hodson hamlet junction. This would be from planning app S/OUT/24/0982 if it were approved by SBC and building work commenced.
The list to justify the allocation is: To uncover the parts of the path that exist but are covered in earth and grass, to safely link the edge of the village to the bus stop at the Hodson junction, to link the village safely with the hamlet of Hodson. To conform to the ideals in the Swindon Sustainable Transport plan for better walking and cycling routes, to allow the route to be promoted on the Chiseldon Walking Map that the PC are creating, to allow better links to access Coate Water and Swindon.
