Parish Council Report from March 2013

There were four members of the public present, together with District Councillor Atkinson. District

Councillor Oakley and County Councillor Perry sent their apologies.

A resident from Forshaw Heath raised concerns of unacceptable noise from Becketts Farm atunsociable hours. The resident also report another incident where a large vehicle attending Mr

Becketts property to deliver a crane, ended up in a ditch, taking out the power supply to a number

of households. The resident stated that this is yet another example of why Forshaw Heath Road is

not suitable for heavy goods vehicles. The Parish Council agreed to contact Stratford District

Council on behalf of the resident.

Another resident enquired about the credence given to petitions in the case of planning decisions,

particularly the petition that was submitted recently regarding signage at The Limes, Forshaw

Heath. Cllr Keogh confirmed that the petition was very briefly considered at the Planning

Committee meeting. Cllr Willmott stated that individual letters carry more weight and that

generally a petition is worth one letter. Cllr Atkinson confirmed again that the petition, although

presented to the committee did not necessarily influence the decision. Cllr Atkinson did highlight apoint raised by the presenting officer that flag poles can be erected on private land and planning

permission is not required as long as the flag poles fly the National flag.

Report from District Councillor Atkinson

Cllr Atkinson had attended a Build in Excellence Awards meeting where a barn conversion at

Forshaw Heath Park Farm had been awarded a top award, for a grade II listed holiday let. Cllr

Atkinson suggested that this may be something the Parish Council would wish to advertise.

Cllr Atkinson stated that recycling collectors can now take small household electrical items,

textiles, household batteries (excluding car batteries), again Cllr Atkinson suggested this may be

something positive to advertise.

Cllr Atkinson had distributed Actionenergy leaflets for residents who need assistance/advice

regarding their heating during winter months.

Cllr Atkinson highlighted an agenda item, entitled imposing conditions on planning permissions,

which he argued is carried out as part of the decision making process. The Parish Council agreed to

contact Stratford District Council for guidance on how conditions requested by the Parish Council

to be included in decision notices, which are not granted, can by appealed or explained.

Cllr Atkinson finally made a request to the Parish Council to amend its headed paper to exclude

Solihull in the address and to state Warwickshire instead.

Cllr Atkinson briefly mentioned Permitted Development Rights, in light of successful appeal re the

property Appledore, Blind Lane. Cllr Atkinson had made the Clerk aware of a circular available

giving details of when PDRs can be withdrawn.

Lane keyhole vergeCllr Perry informed us that WCC use proper oak posts which cost 100
