OPEN SESSION –

School Lane development – The couple who have put the plans in came to the meeting to see why the plans have been objected by the council and parishioners, and to answer any questions. The following points were raised:

The size of the building

Because the building is 3 storey

Not in keeping of the village

Position behind the building line

Overlooking properties gardens

Both neighbours of the property support the planning

Wendy Holland at the planning office has confirmed there is no such thing as a building line any more

It is no further back than some other properties on the lane.

No drainage to go into the dyke

There is a damaged cherry tree at the front of the plot, they have enquired to have the tree removed. The highways at Lincoln have confirmed that they have no issues about having it removed but it must be approved by the Parish Council. Parish Council have no concerns.

They have cut the hedge back to clear the path Highways regarding the tree.

The building has to be 2ft higher because of flood plain.

Eagle Road 15 houses comments:

Main issue is regarding the sewage system

Opening to be opposite houses – concerns regarding disturbance with car headlights

If the council do not adopt the road then all 15 bins will have to be brought out onto Eagle Road to be collected.

Will the developers contribute to develop the sewage pumping station?

Reports have said that they are encouraging infill in the villages rather than extending the villages.

Housing allocation for the village is 24 houses this development will take it to the limit.

There is questions regarding the hedge/ vine that grows between the bridge at the White Hart Pub and the little bridge half way down as it needs cutting back due to the visual impact when turning out of the bridge. It is believed that the hedge doesn’t belong to anyway but we are unsure who the land belongs to.

There is a monitor for the sewage level at the end of school lane near the pumping station, but the blockages normally occur half way up school lane. It has been put to the council that would we consider approaching Noble Foods to see if they will pay for another monitor to be put in at the other end of school lane. – David Russell to speak to Severn Trent.

There is another problem with dog fouling down school lane – the clerk explained that unfortunately unless we can get names or addresses of the person there is nothing much that can be done.
