MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PARISH MEETING
TUESDAY 6th MAY 2025 AT 7.00pm

To receive the Annual report for 2024/25 – Cllr Toone
An eventful year with a lot of issues affecting the Parish.
Firstly, the Planning Application for the solar farm on Newton Lane. Together with Newton Solney Parish Council, our District and County Councillors and objections from many residents the application was rejected. We are however still awaiting any appeals. Incidentally we are still awaiting the result of appeal made by Knights Lodges about the use of the leisure building. Conversely, we did assist Bretby Parochial Church Council in obtaining planning consent for the extension of the church burial ground which had been bogged down in red tape at DCC and SDDC for years. We continue to have some issues with enforcement of planning conditions made by SDDC.
We have at last made some progress in improving the roads in the parish. Some stretches of Bretby Lane have been resurfaced but others, for example outside the Garden Centre, still remain in a precarious state. Potholes continue to be a problem. Some progress has also been made to eliminate flooding of lanes in the Parish, which has been the subject of many complaints to DCC over the years. Following visits by Highways engineers arranged by Councillor Muller and guided by Councillor Falder there has been improvements in the drainage on Knights Lane, and Newton Lane and further work promised for flooding on the bend on Geary Lane. Residents have again expressed concern about traffic in the Parish. The quantity of traffic on Bretby Lane and Knights Lane has increased, particularly of HGVs. Speeding has also been highlighted as a concern, with several requests for further speed restriction measures forwarded to DCC with no real response. One resident has also requested funding from the SNT to start a Community Speedwatch Group but has had no response to the request after several months.
We still have two vacancies for Parish Councillors which we will strive to fill.

24/1137 Public Speaking
Members of the Public and Council to comment on any matter
The resident, who at the last meeting reported the erratic display of informing of next Royal Main collections, now reported that the situation has improved.
Along the Ashby Road East pavement there is a build-up of soil in which weeds are germinating; if the soil is not removed immediately, the work undertaken last year to clear the site will have been wasted. Cllrs noted that a large section of the pavement down to the Golf course has become narrow by years of build-up of soil. Cllr Haines will follow this matter.
A query was raised about a planning application for 70 Ashby Road East to retain the fencing and landscaping. Cllrs noted the parish council had not been informed of the application ad revisited the history of planning and lack of enforcement at the site.
Another query was raised about a planning application for 72 Ashby Road East, the resident queried why the application made no mention about drainage and that the work had been undertaken in 2014. The Chair advised that the retrospective application will have to follow the normal planning guidelines and any concerns about drainage will be addressed by planning conditions and building regulations.
County Council and District Council members to raise any relevant matter
SDDC – Cllr Haines reported No May May has been rebranded as grass management and will extend beyond May. Cllrs requested Knights Lane verges are mown in the interest of highway safety. Mowing has already commenced which in the view of Cllrs is too early and this observation will be taken back to SDDC by Cllr Haines.
The bin collections system is going digital; this was welcomed by the District Cllrs although the exact workings of the digital system is not known.
Cllr Haines reported upon a successful prosecution in relation to a recent fly tipping incident.
Following a discussion about the refusal of the solar farm planning application; Cllrs noted any appeals needs to be made within 6 months of the decision.
DCC – Cllr Muller reported the proposals for devolution have generated significant discussions, including the revisiting and reflection of previously dismissed suggestions.
Successful Cllrs at the forthcoming County Council elections will only undertake a 2-year term of office; this will bring District and County elections into sync and in readiness for any devolution arrangements.
Cllr Falder reported on a successful meeting with Highways Officers who met with him the week after the last parish council meeting. The flooding on Newton Lane and on Geary Lane have been temporarily resolved. The problems with Knights Lane verges were promised to be sorted.
Cllrs acknowledged that this was Cllr Muller’s last meeting due to the boundary review and thanked him for his help, support and work.
Cllr Toone made enquiries with Cllr Haines about a resident’s application to SNT for funding towards a Speedwatch scheme but who has heard nothing about the application; despite it being submitted some weeks ago – Cllr Haines will chase the application in the morning.
