AT ST WYSTANS CHURCH, BRETBY

Present:  Cllr S Toone (Chairman), Cllr M Falder, Cllr M Bridges, Cllr L Meyrick.

In Attendance: Mrs J Storer – Clerk, Cllr Haines (to 8:27pm), Cllr Churchill (to 8:27pm), Cllr Muller (to 7:52pm)

22/885 Apologies
Apologies were noted from Cllr S Betteridge-Sorby.
As a quorum was established, the Chair commenced the meeting.

22/886 Variation of Order of Business
There was no alteration to the variation of the order of business.

22/887 Declaration of Interests:
Cllrs considered their obligations relating to declaration of interests.  Cllr Betteridge-Sorby had previously declared a prejudicial interest in planning application DMPA/2022/0606.

22/888 Public Speaking

a) Members of the Public and Council to comment on any matter
No matters were raised.

b) County Council and District Council members to raise any relevant matter

Cllr Muller reported on the issues relating to the Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) reporting that the process is putting off a lot of councils from participating in the project; the concerns raised include funding and the type of devices required to be installed.

Freeport – there is nothing further to report.

The Government is looking at Ratcliffe power station plus one other about delaying its closure. Whether this will affect the Freeport status is unclear but the general consensus expressed was that it is unlikely to have a detrimental impact.

Willington power station – the site remains dormant

Cllr Muller reported that DCC has been proactive regarding Ukrainian refuges, numbers are currently about 800 and rising.

Cllr Haines informed of the 2022 community survey, whereby SDDC is asking people who live and visit South Derbyshire to complete a short online survey about its leisure facilities; answers will provide information about barriers to accessing facilities.

This is scam awareness month with particular focus on vulnerable persons.

Area Forums are returning to face to face meetings, with the next being on 19th July 2022 at Ticknall.

In response to a question on the District and County’s views on solar farms, Cllr Muller informed the Central Government opinion may change in response to having to grow more in response to the food crisis. Cllr Churchill expressed an opinion that factory roofs and brown field sites can be used rather than agricultural land. 

Problems with driver sickness at the depot coincides with the holiday season and this has led to missed collections of bins.

7: 52 pm Cllr Muller left the meeting.

Enquiries were made in relation to planning application (DMPA/2022/0520) for 5 holiday lets, as if any conditions can be imposed to have one of the lets to be adapted to accommodate disabled persons.  It is unknown if there is any rules or policy on this, Cllrs Haines and Churchill will make enquiries.

The difficulties within the Planning Dept remain.

There was No Mow May but visibility splays were continued to be mowed and the mowing of other areas has resumed.  So areas have not been mown due to a national shortage of mowers and of spares.  The schedule of mowing can be found on the District Council portal.

The preliminary results of the 2021 Census show the district to be one of the fastest growing areas, this places pressures on the housing stock.  Currently developers are content to put in facilities, particularly GP surgeries whilst the CCG do not have plans to provide any further surgeries, however given changes in costs and the review of Local Plan may alter this.

c) Parish Council Members declaring an interest other than Disclosable Pecuniary Interest wishing to make representation
No representations were made.

Minutes Of The Annual Meeting of the Parish Meeting Tuesday 17th May 2022

BRETBY PARISH COUNCIL

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PARISH MEETING
TUESDAY 17th MAY 2022 AT 7:00pm
AT ST WYSTANS CHURCH, BRETBY

Present:  Cllr M Falder (Chairman), 5 members of the public
In Attendance: Mrs J Storer – Clerk

1. To receive apologies for absence

Apologies were noted from Cllr Meyrick, Cllr Churchill, Cllr Muller

2. To receive the Annual report for 2021/22 – Cllr Falder

Last year was the recovery phase after Covid and during this time the parish has recovered and regrouped.  Unfortunately, the District Council has let the parish council down over the last 12 months, mainly relating to planning matters, people should be in the office or answering phones or responding to public responses.  This is very frustrating that this is not the case and it is extremely difficult to have any communication with any officer. The concerns about the lack of response from the planning dept could not be overstated.

It is disappointing that as a parish, we have been unable to come together for the Jubilee event, efforts have been made but the support has been poor.  There will be small individual events taking place, but no one community event has been organised.

We look forward to the trials of the speed indicator signs, speeding has been a long standing problem.

Thank you to the Clerk for her work over the last 26 years and to the District Cllrs who have responded to queries and concerns.

We are in times of change and changes are to be accepted as long as they are done in a controlled way.

3. Public Questions and comments

No questions were raised.

There being no further matters, Cllr Falder closed the meeting at 7:06pm.

21/855 Public Speaking

a) Members of the Public and Council to comment on any matter
No matters were raised.

b) County Council and District Council members to raise any relevant matter

Cllr Muller had previously sent a report which had been circulated to Cllrs as follows:-

The Council Tax has been fixed at 3% for the following year. This includes 1% for Adult care.
Highways issues. I think everything has been logged.
The increase in the Highways budget has been welcomed with various road repairs being planned. I have a record of resurfacing to be done on both sides of the Green in Bretby .No time given.
Freeport.  Last month the East Midlands Freeport secured formal Government approval for its plans to offer businesses locating in the Freeport special incentives. The Freeport is set to deliver over 61,000 jobs for the East Midlands and an extra £8.4bn for the local economy over the next 30 years.
I have been informed that the Police Commissioner would like to visit our area to discuss various matters including speeding and ASB. I will report back on how and where we do this.
Friday 11th March, I was told a trial to promote the use of Speed Indicator Device signs (SIDs) will launch soon. The Clerk will receive information direct from Matlock.

Cllr Haines reported that a new water bottling plant is permitted in Foston, this will supply all the Lidl stores in the country.

The latest Local Plan has commenced and Cllr Haines will regularly keep the parish council up to date with relevant information.

Difficulties with the planning dept were aired by parish cllrs; Cllr Haines informed that there is a backlog of 700 planning applications and some agencies have offered to assist however this option is very expensive and recruitment remains the preferred option of SDDC.  A plan to resolve the situation is being considered at SDDC next month. The frustrations of these delays and the possible implications arising from the delays were voiced at the meeting.

Cllr Haines was asked if the District Council’s budget will be revised in light of the economy.  She informed that there are some reserves that can SDDC can use.  The reserves are not unlimited but the Council officers have in the past been both prudent in their management of funds and risk adverse, meaning that the District Council is in a relatively good position at this time.  The global situation regarding the economy and the potential of war will be continually monitored.

Easter holiday school food provision has been approved following the success of the summer school holiday provision.

A new tree policy has been adopted and works have been identified across the district on public grounds to trees.  This is accepted to be a large project.

Levelling up – this is co-ordinated by DCC and information may be available soon, SDDC has not been involved in it so far.

Freeport, there is little information from SDDC and any updates will be provided to the Clerk. A request was made for improved infrastructure.

It is thought that the new Government scheme for Ukrainian refugees will be co-ordinated by DCC.

21/864 To consider Planning Applications

DMPA/2022/0106: The erection of a double storey rear extension (Basement & Ground Floor) at 23 Bretby Lane, Bretby, Burton On Trent, DE15 0QN (10/02/22)
Request for extension made 7th February 2022 and received to allow Council to consider the application at the March Parish Council meeting
RESOLVED to make the comments.
The extension will about double the size of the existing property. And will impact upon neighbours right to light and privacy.  The parish council is concerned about the limitation to light due to the size and height of the extension wall.  The proposed extension is particularly intrusive to the neighbours.  There are also issues about ground support and stability – the patio will be 8’ higher than the neighbours, is there proper engineering in place to support the raising of the ground and to prevent land slippage. 

DMPA/2022/0103: The variation of condition no. 2 (relating to approved plans) of permission ref. DMPA/2021/1210 (The demolition of existing building and the erection of a replacement dwelling and realignment of access track for farm vehicles) at Shades Farm, Unnamed Road From Geary Lane To Town Farm, Burton On Trent, DE15 0RD (18/02/22)

21/840 Public Speaking

a) Members of the Public and Council to comment on any matter
No matters were raised.

b) County Council and District Council members to raise any relevant matter

Cllr Muller apologised for the administrative delay in processing the parish council’s funding application for a new noticeboard, this has been remedied and funds should be with the parish council shortly. Funds are also available to assist towards any organised jubilee celebrations.

Operation London Bridge – DCC policy is being revisited and Cllr Muller informed that when information is available, this will be passed to the parish council.

Cllr Muller reported on his attendance at today’s budget meeting at DCC and informed that the highway budget will be tripled in an effort to tackle the numerous highway matters within the county.

Cllr Toone mentioned that several road signs within the parish are either leaning or missing; he has reported these and Cllr Muller agreed to follow up the reported matters; the Clerk will provide the reference numbers.

Cllr Churchill reported that staffing remains a problem at SDDC largely due to Covid and shortage of  HGV drivers, despite this the refuse bins are still being emptied. There are several planning vacancies which have been advertised and in the interim, some temporary staff have been brought into the planning dept.

SDDC’s bid made for SDDC zero emission vehicles has found support with the Council however, this will be a phased project with rural areas following after the urban areas.

Cllr Haines reported that reports of fly tipping are at the lowest level for 5 years.

Foremark Reservoir temporary fencing has been taken down and permanent fencing is being placed strategically.

There is a consultation about the Area Forum and all were urged to participate.

Cllr Toone and Cllr Betteridge-Sorby declared personal interests relating to ongoing problems with a particular site on Bretby Lane where alterations to the building have been taking place for over 18 months. Concerns were raised about parking of contractors vehicles, about safety of the site and general inconsideration of the contractors to residents.

Cllr Toone raised a query relating to the refusal of a particular planning application on Bretby Lane, the grounds for refusal were difficult to understand; particularly as the planning decision lacked consistency to previously granted permissions for similar extensions, including the those to the adjoining property.  District and County Cllrs reminded that planning decisions can be appealed and if residents are concerned about the quality of work being undertaken at any site, these can be raised with the Enforcement Officer. Problems relating to vehicles parking on pavements should be reported to the police.

7.52pm Cllr Muller left the meeting.

b)         Requests for funding via S137
No requests for funding have been received.

c)         To consider the draft budget for 2022/23
The draft budget had been previously circulated to all Cllrs.  Cllrs considered the financial requirements of the parish council and the need to maintain appropriate levels of reserves as identified by the external auditors.  Cllrs debated at the length the priority of its expenditure and the financial impact upon residents of any increase the parish council may impose when taken in conjunction with rises from the other precepting authorities.
RESOLVED to set the precept for 2022/23 at £4,024.00.
The precept is to be increased by 10%, this represents an annual council tax bill of £9.72 for a Band D property. This increase is necessary to balance the budget, to prevent the depletion of the reserves and to take into account the impact of rising inflation.

The parish council has attempted to set up a group to organise activities and events but due to little or no support or interest from the community for any Jubilee celebrations, nor to assist with the organisation.  With the limited committed engagement of the community, the Jubilee activities will be limited. To fund these limited activities, the working party is to use the surplus funds from previous community events (£1400). There is no intention to come to the parish council for funding towards the celebrations; future approaches may be made to Cllr Muller for funding.  Cllr Kemp explained some of the possible Jubilee events including a beacon, a walk and a picnic.

Minutes 22nd November 2021

BRETBY PARISH COUNCIL
MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY PARISH MEETING HELD
MONDAY 22nd NOVEMBER 2021 AT 7:30pm
AT ST WYSTANS CHURCH, BRETBY

Present:  Cllr M Falder (Chairman), Cllr G Corner, Cllr M Bridges.

In Attendance: Mrs J Storer – Clerk, Cllrs Haines (to 8:14pm) and Muller (to 8:06pm), Cllr Churchill (to 8:14pm).

The venue had been unavailable for the meeting scheduled for 16th November 2021 and no alternative was available, which resulted in a change from the scheduled meeting date.

21/823 Apologies
Apologies were noted from Cllr Cllr S Betteridge-Sorby, Cllr S Toone, Cllr K Kemp, Cllr L Meyrick.  As a quorum was established, the Chair commenced the meeting.

21/824 Variation of Order of Business
There was no alteration to the variation of the order of business.

21/825 Declaration of Interests:
Cllrs considered their obligations relating to declaration of interests.

21/826 Public Speaking
a) Members of the Public and Council to comment on any matter
No matters were raised.

b) County Council and District Council members to raise any relevant matter
Cllr Muller reported that no new reports have been released relating to the Freeport. Cllr Churchill added that no business plan has been submitted yet. Concerns were raised by parish cllrs about:-

  • the level of infrastructure that will be essential in order to cope with additional industries and residential development taking place now and, in the future,
  • whether prompt action will be taken both by DCC and SDDC to ensure that the correct infrastructure requirements brought about by the Freeport status and by developments generally are put into place.

The future allocation of housing stock numbers which maybe impacted by the Freeport status and changes relating to HS2 is to be resolved in the next Local Plan.

The congestion caused by temporary traffic lights at the end of Geary Lane was raised at the last meeting, however since then, there have been additional temporary lights in other areas of the parish and in Burton, these too are causing frustrations to motorists.  Enquiries were made as to the necessity of temporary traffic lights at what appears to be every set of road works. Cllr Muller cited other examples of this problem and will raise it with the Highways Dept. 

The road markings at roundabout on the A5111 outside the Chesterfield Pub requires repainting.  Cllr Muller will take this matter to the Highways Dept.

The Newton Park Hotel has a contract to house immigrants seeking asylum.  Heather Wheeler MP has written to Cllr Muller to explain the security arrangements that have been put into place including a requirement for residents to observe an overnight curfew, any breach of which could affect their asylum application. If the asylum application is granted, successful people will be passed to another local authority for rehousing. No one present could provide any information as to whether any asylum seekers are being housed in Derbyshire.

Cllr Muller still has money left in his Community Fund; additional separate funds are to be made available for the Jubilee celebrations. An application to Cllr Muller’s Community Fund will be submitted for a new noticeboard on the Village Green.

SDDC will not make any changes to the waste collection routine over the Christmas period and instances of fly tipping can still be reported.  There remain staff shortages within the District Council and the Chairman congratulated SDDC in keeping the waste collections going through the pandemic and fuel crisis. There are also staff shortages in planning, with officers having up to double their caseloads; a duty planning system has been introduced to help resolve some of the service issues reported by those making planning applications. District Cllrs have fed back to the District Council the concerns expressed at the last parish council in relation to the large number of retrospective planning applications, not only being submitted but also of the high number of recitative applicants. Currently there are no solutions to the problem of the deliberate abuse of the planning system by those undertaking works and then seeking permission. 

The ground maintenance team has ceased mowing for the year and have converted to their winter schedule.

The Green Energy scheme operated by SDDC was explained and the Community Grant Scheme remains available.

The coffee pod recycling scheme has so far recycled ¼ million pods since April 2021.  Following a SDDC governance review, the Area Forum is now a Community Forum, the next meeting will be via Teams on 30th November.

8:06pm Cllr Muller left the meeting.

Contacting SDDC officers often remains problematical and both District Cllrs acknowledged that there has been a drop in the level of service. Both have made representations about this and reported that SDDC staff may move to a hybrid working model shortly; however this proposal is still subject to agreement and approval.

There is now a SDDC mapping portal with further expansion of its information due next year.

Questions were raised about the District Council budget and financial robustness in light of the rising level of inflation and other economic and social pressures.  District Cllrs informed that there maybe a wage push at SDDC and at other authorities due to the increasing level of inflation, this coupled with the recycling contracts (which are coming to an end) no longer providing income means that there will be some significant cost pressures in the very near future.

8:14pm Cllrs Haines and Churchill left the meeting.

c) Parish Council Members declaring an interest other than Disclosable Pecuniary Interest wishing to make representation
No representations were made.

21/827 To approve the Minutes of the Ordinary Meeting of the Parish Council held on 14th September 2021
These were circulated, read, approved and signed as a correct record by Cllr Falder.

21/828 To determine which items if any, should be taken with the public excluded.
No items were deemed necessary to be taken with the public excluded.

21/829 To receive the Chairman’s Announcements
The Chairman has been monitoring the bin collection at the Hall and reported that the bins are emptied quickly and efficiently and that there is no requirement for any increase in capacity at this location.  The order for bins to be placed on Bretby Lane is regularly pursued by the Clerk and in light of comments made by the District Cllrs about the drop in some areas of service level, the Clerk will ensure that both District Cllrs are copied into future enquiries about the bins.

There was a bomb scare on Bretby Lane about a month ago following the discovery of a hand grenade during building work at a house. The bomb disposal unit removed and safely disposed of the grenade.

21/830 To receive the Report of the Clerk
The Clerk’s report as previously circulated was accepted with no further comments.

21/831 Drainage issues

No matters were raised.

b) County Council and District Council members to raise any relevant matter
The Chair introduced County Cllr Muller who gave a brief resume of his County Council responsibilities.
The business plan from the Freeport Governing Body was sent to Central Government on 10th September 2021; this will facilitate the release of information and of the governing arrangements for all to consider.  Cllr Muller has a community fund and a separate fund will be available later in the year for marking the Queen’s Jubilee. DCC has received approx. £1m for roofing and insulation upgrades subject to specific conditions; this grant funding is available until March 2022.
The Highways Dept (DCC) is proactive and any issues are requested to be reported as soon as they are known.  The Chair reported that the road side verge cutting had again been unpredictable over the summer with mowing taking place when the grass was short, then vegetation was left to grow exceptionally tall; adding that the height of the vegetation was of concern to highway safety.  SDDC has cut back on the number of cuts of the verges in order to encourage wildlife.  
Cllr Meyrick reported that he had reported directly via the DCC website, a problem with a manhole cover and this is still outstanding; Cllr Muller will follow up the matter.
The position of recent temporary lights on Geary Lane caused traffic to back up onto Ashby Road; the works have finished, Cllr Muller requested if there are any similar problems, these are to be reported to Cllr Muller at the time.
SDDC will be producing a booklet to PC which will outline all procedures necessary for the Jubilee.
Cllr Haines informed a report will be released in October about the District Council’s future working procedures.  A review is underway about the performance of the Planning Dept together with a report about options available in relation to retrospective planning applications; the number of which has significantly increased. Cllr Toone provided the parish council with a timeline and lack of correspondence in relation to the ongoing building works at 12 Bretby Lane.
The report on the impact of night flights will be reviewed by the Scrutiny Panel.

Cllr Haines’ report had previously been circulated to all Cllrs and attached as Appendix 1.
Cllrs voiced disappointment that no progress has been made with the planning application and appeal related to applications along Bretby Lane.  Continued concerns were expressed about the work arrangements at 12 Bretby Lane and about the lack of interest shown by SDDC to the concerns raised by the parish council. The lack of communication from SDDC and DCC on this and other matters is extremely poor.
The lack of mowing at the top of Newton Lane and Knights Lane is creating a danger to motorists; the lack of mowing and the height of the grass obscures visibility.  The Clerk will send a letter of complaint to SDDC.

APPENDIX 1

District Council report for Bretby Parish Council meeting on Tuesday 13 July 

Foremarke Reservoir 
Over the weekend of 12 June there were serious parking problems at Foremark Reservoir due to high volumes of visiting members of the public with extensive parking on yellow lines and on overgrown grass verges. 28 fixed penalty notices were issued, and the road closed to prevent any other people attending. 

There were similar issues in summer 2020 after the first lockdown and several measures were put in place. These included adding double yellow lines outside the site, additional police patrols, additional car parking at the site and leaving the grass verges to grow so making them less appealing to park on. 

There have been relatively few problems at the site since these measures were put in place and Severn Trent, the police, SDDC Community Safety Enforcement Officers and DCC Civil Enforcement Parking Officers regularly communicate with each other and are making sure patrols are put in place when the weather is going to be hot.

Reopening after Covid
The local hospitality industry continues to cautiously reopen. There have been no significant anti-social behaviour issues or Covid breaches at licensed premises during recent Euro 2020 events. Just across the border in Donington Park, a smaller than normal Download festival was part of the government’s trials to enable large outdoor events to reopen safely. The Sausage and Cider festival, due to be held in June at Catton Park, was a casualty of the pandemic and had to be cancelled.

Night Flight Policy Consultation

The Government is consulting on the night flights policy – link below:
https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/night-flights-restrictions-at-heathrow-gatwick-and-stansted-airports-beyond-2024-plus-national-night-flight-policy
The closing date for the consultation is 3 September.  SDDC will put together a response to the consultation which will come to the Environmental committee in August for approval.

Planning application @ 12 Bretby Lane – DMPA/2021/0561
We are still waiting for a decision to come through on this application. The case officer is away until Monday so would expect some clarification this week and will update as soon as we hear anything.

Planning appeal @ Land at Rear of 101-119 Bretby Lane – DMPA/2019/1430
No decision from the Inspectorate to date. The case officer is going to try and contact the Inspectorate directly to see if we can get some more information.

Shades Farm
We have been contacted by residents who remain concerned about the new biomass boiler and ongoing planning applications at Shades Farm. We continue to reassure residents that the correct planning process is being followed and that the planning system does allow for retrospective applications to regularise any unauthorised development. We will continue to monitor things on a case-by-case basis and are happy to speak to any residents who may have concerns.

Area Forum Meetings
The next round of Area Forum meetings will take place in the Autumn and Chris Smith from SDDC should be in touch shortly with Parish Councils to confirm details.

Actions from your meeting on Tuesday
Apologies we are unable to attend Tuesday’s meeting. Please let us know if anything crops up that requires action!

Best wishes
Kerry and Andrew

Minutes 11th May 2021

BRETBY PARISH COUNCIL
MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY PARISH MEETING HELD
TUESDAY 11th MAY 2021 AT 7:35pm
AT SWADLINCOTE SURGERY, DARKLANDS ROAD, SWADLINCOTE

Due to continuing Covid restrictions, no Covid safe venue was available within the Parish, the meeting was therefore held outside of the parish.

Present:  Cllr M Falder (Chairman), Cllr Meyrick, Cllr G Corner, Cllr S Betteridge-Sorby, Cllr Bridges, Cllr Toone, Cllr K Kemp.

In Attendance: Mrs J Storer – Clerk, Cllr Haines, Cllr Churchill.

The Chair thanked all for attending and in particular thanked Cllr Betteridge-Sorby for arranging a covid compliant venue for the holding of Council meetings. He welcomed everyone back to the first face to face meeting in over 12 months.

21/782 Apologies
No apologies were noted.  As a quorum was established, the Chairman commenced the meeting.

21/783 Variation of Order of Business
There was no alteration to the variation of the order of business.

21/784 Declaration of Interests:
Cllrs considered their obligations relating to declaration of interests; no declarations were received.

21/785 Public Speaking

a) Members of the Public and Council to comment on any matter
No matters were raised.

b) County Council and District Council members to raise any relevant matter
Cllr Haines reported that there are few new details on the Freeport but agreed to pass on any information when it arrives.
Cllr Churchill provided the latest Covid statistics, the latest figures are significantly below the national average.
The annual flooding meeting will now be held half yearly, the next meeting will be held in the autumn.

21/786   To confirm the Minutes of the Meetings held on 22nd March 2021
These were circulated, read, approved and signed as a correct record by Cllr Falder.

21/787 To determine which items if any, should be taken with the public excluded.
No items were deemed necessary to be taken with the public excluded.

21/788 To receive the Chairman’s Announcements
Members of the public have informed of significant queues and waiting times at the Newhall tip, discouraging people from taking items to the tip; this is thought to have contributed to the increase of flytipping around the parish.  The Clean Team has cleared reported instances of flytipping, putting increased pressure on already limited resources.  Around the parish there has been a significant increase in flytipping and across the district there has been a 40% increase.  The recycling contractor has ceased trading and the District Council stepped in to fulfil the recycling contract; the value of recycling has decreased and SDDC is undertaking studies about alternative recycling schemes in readiness for the renewal of the contract in the autumn.

21/789 To receive the Report of the Clerk
The Clerk’s report as previously circulated was accepted with no further comments. 
Min 20/766e) The request for a speed check on Bretby Lane has been submitted.
Min 20/766d) A meeting with a resident about bins for private areas in the National Forest was held in April; a report on this meeting will be given at the next parish council meeting.
Min 20/755b) Action on the drain cover on Ashby Road East is still awaited.
Min 20/755b) the unauthorised signs on Oldicote Lane remain in place; County Cllr Muller will be informed of the situation and requested to pursue the matter.
Signage has been erected by Bretby Hall to direct people onto the footpath around the Hall, whilst various rumours have circulated about the possibility of addition of control mechanisms being installed to restrict access at the Park. 

21/790 Governance

RESOLVED to make no changes to the risk register.

b)  General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)
The Clerk reported that there is no further information, no actions were recommended and there were no incidents to report.

c) Communication Strategy
The matter was deferred.

d)  Arrangements for return to face to face meeting

21/794 To consider Planning Applications

DMPA/2021/0561:Amended scheme to previously approved DMPA/2019/1461 for the erection of an extension with pitch roof and the conversion of loft space at 12 Bretby Lane, Bretby, Burton upon Trent, DE15 0QN (12/05/21)
Some Cllrs expressed disappointment about the lack of response to correspondence sent to SDDC Planning Dept by residents relating to safety concerns and the continuation of building works, particularly on the roof, at the above property. The alleged disregard of the planning process, building inspection and safety was considered to debase the planning process.
District Cllrs reported that the Planning Dept has been in correspondence with the applicants but District Cllrs were unaware that residents’ correspondence had gone unanswered; they will follow up on these matter.
RESOLVED: objection; as it is overbearing presence on 10 and 19 Bretby Lane and newly installed windows overlook gardens and bedrooms which affects neighbours right to presence. This application goes against the previous planning conditions restricting the increase of the height of the property.

DMPN/2021/0612: Certificate of Lawfulness for proposed loft conversion and the installation of windows at 2 Mount Road, Bretby, Burton On Trent, DE15 0RA (13/05/21)
RESOLVED No objections

DMPA/2021/0552: The erection of extensions, front wall and gate at 14 Bretby Lane, Bretby, Burton on Trent, DE15 0QN (07/05/21)
