Snapshot…of the Parish Council meeting on 13 March 2018.
Planning Applications
Consideration was given to four applications at the meeting. One was for a new build within the Chieveley settlement boundary, one for a new summer house, and a garage. One was deferred pending the report from an Agricultural Consultant. Further information about Planning Applications can be found on the Planning advice section of the West Berkshire Council website.
From April 2018 West Berkshire Council will no longer provide paper copies of planning applications to Parish Councils as part of their cost saving initiatives. Hard copies will no longer be present at the Parish Council meetings. Members of the public are strongly advised to look at the planning schedule issued with the Parish Council agendas and view them at West Berkshire Council Planning Portal and respond directly to West Berkshire Council on applications of interest. Parish Councillors, having viewed the planning applications on line will confirm their observations on the listed applications at the Parish Council. West Berkshire Council will no longer send planning application notification letters to neighbouring properties to a planning application site and will rely on the local people noting the statutory orange notice outside the premises and responding to the planning authority, West Berkshire Council.
Coordinated Traffic Plan
Chieveley Parish Council have approached Hermitage Parish Council to raise concerns about two Local Plan developments, the potential number of new build properties in Hermitage and the impact of increased traffic on local road infrastructure including B4009 and Priors Court Road. Hermitage Parish Council have written to West Berkshire Council to ask that all planning decisions are deferred until an overall, integrated traffic plan led by West Berkshire Council can be achieved in respect of all sites. Representatives from Chieveley Parish Council and Hermitage Parish Council are planning to meet to discuss traffic matters.
