25/87. Public recess.
2 members of the public.
Query on the PC’s response to the Hannick Homes (HH) planning application, to SBC. He felt it offered options for approval even though the vote of CPC was to reject the application. He asked whether CPC had enough time to reply.
It was advised that the PC had around a week to reply. SBC would not provide any further time extension to allow more time.
It was noted the SBC Dec Planning meeting had been cancelled and a HH rep had told the resident that SBC won’t decide the application until Easter 25.
Other general points raised were with regards to the path improvements along the B4005. The PC hopes it can do the work with S106 funds, if the application is approved by SBC. The PC were advised there would not be enough S106 funds to do the entire road.
The resident noted that Hannick Homes have not yet made changes to the application with regards to the entrance/exit. Cllr Kearsey advised that HH would not do this until SBC commented on the current design.
Cllr Jefferies advised we are currently waiting for when SBC hold the planning meeting where this is on the agenda.
Cllr Howlett had issues with how the PC decided their response to SBC. This will be discussed after the meeting to investigate alternative ways to manage this.

24/93. HIGHWAYS. Discussion and vote on what action to take with regards to the current 50mph speed limit along the length of Hodson Road/Brimble Hill/B4005.

The feedback from Burderop Park residents was a majority agreement that there was concern over the current speed limit. There are currently no recorded deaths on this road but there have been 4 recent accidents.
A proposal was made for the Clerk to log a request for speed limit reduction on this road with our Ward Cllrs and make WPC aware so we can work together on this project. The proposal was seconded and all Cllrs were in favour.

24/98. Neighbourhood Plan. Paying any further funds to Andrea Pellegram Ltd.
Our request for 5 hours work maximum had not been conveyed to the staff member who did the work. This meant the final invoice was higher than expected. The invoice was adjusted to be 5 hours work and CPC paid. This item is to discuss whether to pay any further proportion of the invoice as extensive work was done for CPC.
The additional amount came to approximate £1300.00
A proposal was made to pay £650.00 further towards this invoice, but to request that the Finance Committee approve this request, with funds coming from the Council’s own Neighbourhood Plan fund. The proposal was seconded and all Cllrs were in favour.
