Other Planning Issues

1) Airport- 2 signs on the South side advertising “Park and Fly” have no planning permission. Cllr. Glynn has mentioned this to the Airport Authority and they have indicated that they will remove them.

2) Catchment Flood Management Plan- Cllr. Glynn has downloaded and the paper version will be available shortly. The deadline for response is 1st December 2005 and in view of the current situation with a lot of surface water around it is considered that the Council should respond to the Consultation.

3) Map information- by accessing the North Somerset Council website (front page) you can get detailed information on planning situations on property.

4) BIA Master Plan Consultation. The use of the free newspapers to distribute has not been a success as many houses within the Parish receive no publication. The exhibitions organised by BIA to promote the Master Plan have also not been well advertised and the Clerk has now taken delivery of posters for distribution at shops and displayed on the Notice Boards. All the relevant details are on the BIA website.

The exhibition is well worth seeing. Mention was also made of the PCAA/CPRE/Friends of the earth exhibition which will be in the Memorial Hall on 1st December from 16.00 to 21.00 hours with a question and answer session at 19.00 hours. A copy of the Master Plan has been left at Redhill and will be displayed in the Redhill Village Club. It is also the intention to have 2 copies available in the John Locke Room with access being made available to the public at restricted times- these will be advertised on the Notice Boards. With regard to Downside Cllr. Atkins will be approached to ensure that that part of the Parish is also aware of the availability of the Master Plan documentation.

It was moved that the Council should hold a special meeting to discuss the response to the Master Plan Consultation and this was set for Tuesday 6th December at 18.00 hours. The Clerk will send out notices and also ensure this is displayed on the Notice Boards.

5) Wrington Warren land for use as airport car parking- Cllr. Glynn mentioned that this was referred to Central Area Committee as part of the land borders on Brockley Parish Council who have opposed the application. It is before the Planning and Regulatory Committee on 9th November and it is understood that residents of Redhill may attend to speak against the application.

6) It was mentioned that the Scrutiny Panel at NSC will meet on 10th November to discuss the economics of the Airport and that the planning appeal relating to Hailstones Farm is set for 11th November.

There being no other business the meeting was declared closed at 18.55 hours.

Horse Chestnut- fell 5 day notice-

 the copy application was not received. It is an anomaly of the planning system that a 5-day notice circumvents the normal planning process and as such gives Parish Councils no opportunity to respond.
