Meeting Minutes 26Th June 2018 BARKBY & BARKBY THORPE PARISH COUNCIL Minutes Of The Parish Council Meeting On Tuesday 26th June 2018 @ 7.00pm At Barkby Village Hall Action By & When? Page 251 Present: : Cllr Hugh Asher, Cllr Lynn Stewart, Cllr Owen Bentley, Cllr Chris Thompson , Cllr Brenda Seaton, Mrs Doreen Shuttlewood Members of Public: None Apologies: : Cllr Peter Mount 040/18 Parishioner Business None 041/18 Police Report None 042/18 BABTAG Cllr Owen Bentley reported on BABTAG. Since the mast meeting BABTAG has held its AGM on the 8th May. Doreen Shuttlewood has retired as treasurer and George Braybrook was elected treasurer in her place. Jim Sallis was elected to the management committee. Latest on the 4500 houses – There was a liason meeting with developers on the 3rd May. Because of the churn of Charnwood and Council Council officers the early summer target of reserved matters for phase 1 will not be met though CEG is still hopeful of getting them through by late summer. This will knock on the target of house building which now seems unlikely in the early months of 2019. We learnt that John Pochin is taking close interest in the detail of the look of the houses and that he and CEG are still committed to getting traffic restrictions in place at the start of house building. Progress was also slow on the southern relief road which has to open once the 475th house is occupied. Strategic Growth Plan - BABTAG has sent in its comments on the Leicester and Leicestershire strategic growth plan questioning the need for the A46 extension and the 40000 houses along its route. The new group that has been set up in partnership with the CPRE to oppose the road has been named SELAG (South East Leicester Action Group) and is recruiting members. Charnwood Local Plan - BABTAG has commented on the discussion paper on the options for development being considered for the new local plan to be published this Autumn. BABTAG has objected to those options which envisage major housing estates close to Barkby. Page 252 150 Houses opposite Rugby Club – Charnwood plans committee have turned down the application for 150 houses off Barkby Road Queniborough. Data Protection – BABTAG has sought permission from all of its members to continue to hold their contact details. There has been one refusal but a minority of members including members of the Parish Council have yet to respond. 043/18 Declarations of Interest on the Agenda – Personal & Prejudicial: None 044/18 To approve and sign the Minutes from the Parish Council Meeting held th on the 24 April 2018 at Barkby Village Hall:- The minutes were signed as a true record. 045/18 Borough Councillor Report Cllr Daniel Grimley reported on the below. MP and Councillors Surgery Currently looking at holding a MP and Borough / County Councillor’s Surgery. Roots have said they will provide a venue. Trying to agree a date for this at the moment. P/18/0309/2 Residential development for up to 150 dwellings. Land off Barkby Road, Queniborough, Leicestershire – APPLICATION REFUSED The above planning application has been refused by Charnwood Borough Council. The main reason for the refusal was due to the development being in area of separation between Queniborough and Syston and outside of the limits of development for Queni borough. The concerns by officers, echoed by myself, were that this could a demonstrable effect on the character of Queniborough. As well as letter of objections from local residents objections had been sent from Edward Argar MP, BABTAG, Queniborough Neighbourhood Steering Group and the surrounding Parish Councils. P/18/0611/2 Outline planning permission for up to 220 dwellings with associated road infrastructure, landscaping, drainage and associated works (considering access from Page 253 Melton Road, Queniborough only with all other matters reserved) A planning application has now been submitted my main concerns here include the impact on the infrastructure, development outside the boundary of the settlement, and, highways locally. P/18/0338/2 (Pre Application Advice) Erection of up to 195 dwellings land north of Barkby Road and West of Queniborough Road, Syston, Leicester. Although not yet a planning application developers have make a pre application enquiry about building on this land on the land close to Barkby. Charnwood Borough Council has published its annual statement on the five year sup ply of housing land. National planning policy requires local authorities to maintain a five year supply of housing land and the annual figure, based on the situation as of 31 March, is used to inform plan ning decisions for residential development. The Planners closely monitor housing supply and delivery and this year’s assessment shows that Charnwood has a 4.93 years supply as of 31 March 2018. This is a slight improvement on the position last year of 4.68 years supply. It is clear that whilst there is a significant amount of land with permission for housing in Charnwood the amount that is expected to be built within the next five years is still not sufficient to meet the amount required. It is im portant in this regard to recognise that the council has no control over delivery – it cannot make developers build homes. Being able to demonstrate a five year housing supply is important because the National Planning Policy Framework says that local plan policies for the supply of housing should not be considered up-to-date if the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites. This means some of its local plan policies will have Page 254 less weight when making decisions on planning applications affecting how the Council can control the location of housing development in Charnwood. Garden waste bins to be removed Residents are being advised that any garden waste bins which are not displaying valid sub scription stickers will be removed from June 25, 2018. Members Grants The Members Grants Scheme received publicity following it being approved at Cabinet on the 12th April 2018. Following the end of Purdah on the 21st June further promotional activity will take place. The deadline of the 31st December 2018 has been proposed to enable all applications to be received, processed and publicised before the start of Purdah in the run up to the Local Elections in May 2019. 046/18 County Councillor Report Cllr Brenda Seaton confirmed that she is now the chair of a panel who are looking into the 5 year housing supply plan. 047/18 Financial Reports: Bank Reconciliation: Mrs Doreen Shuttlewood kindly attended the Parish Council meeting to inform them that all the accounts were correct and balanced for the period April 2017-March 2018.

  • BARKBY and BARKBY THORPE CONSERVATION AREA : BOUNDARY REVIEW
    BARKBY and BARKBY THORPE CONSERVATION AREA : BOUNDARY REVIEW Charnwood Borough Council BARKBY+BARKBY THORPE CONSERVATION AREA: Boundary Review BARKBY and BARKBY THORPE CONSERVATION AREA: BOUNDARY REVIEW prepared by: Heritage & Regeneration Solutions Ltd www.heritageregeneration.co.uk for: Charnwood Borough Council published: December 2018 2 BARKBY+BARKBY THORPE CONSERVATION AREA: Boundary Review INTRODUCTION: A conservation area is defined as ‘an area of special architectural or historic interest - the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’. The purpose of this review is to reconsider the boundaries of the Barkby and Barkby Thorpe Conservation Area in order to omit any areas which no longer are appropriate for inclusion, and to add areas which are considered as worthy of designation. Potential areas for redrawing the boundary were listed on page 30, in the Conservation Area Character Appraisal 2011: Barkby Hall Park, and adjustments to the boundaries around Merton Farm and Hill Top Farm. BARKBY + BARKBY THORPE CONSERVATION AREA Location of the current Barkby + Barkby Thorpe Conservation Area - coloured green. 3 BARKBY+BARKBY THORPE CONSERVATION AREA: Boundary Review Barkby and Barkby Thorpe lies on the crossing of two minor roads five miles to the north east of Leicester. The Conservation Area covers almost all of both settlements with the linking parkland between. The historic pattern of the two settlements, the parkland and the agricultural setting has remained fairly unaltered for two centuries. All the boundaries that surround the current Conservation Area have been reviewed and particularly the sites discussed in the CA Appraisal. These include properties in Barkby not included in the Conservation Area, areas to the north on the Queniborough Road, and the boundary around Barkby Thorpe.

  • Area Forum Consultation Document - June 2007
    Charnwood Together Consultation Paper PROPOSALS FOR SETTING UP AREA FORUMS IN CHARNWOOD INTRODUCTION Charnwood Together is inviting comments on proposals to establish “Area Forums” (or “Community Forums”) covering the whole of the Borough of Charnwood. These proposals have been developed in response to decisions of Leicestershire Together, the county level Local Strategic Partnership, to promote the creation of such Forums across the whole County of Leicestershire. Area Forums will contribute to revitalised local democracy and effective community engagement across the Borough by facilitating public engagement with elected representatives. They will provide Forums for local issues to be raised with the appropriate local authority or other agency. It will bring Borough, County and Parish Council elected representatives together with partners to focus on local issues. Leicestershire Together has invited district Local Strategic Partnerships across Leicestershire to develop and implement Forums in ways that best meet local circumstances. To assist this process Leicestershire Together agreed a framework for the creation of these Forums – a Neighbourhood Engagement Policy Statement. That Policy Statement has been considered and adapted by Charnwood Together to form the proposals set out in this consultation document. The proposed Neighbourhood Engagement Policy Statement for Charnwood sets out the rationale which underpins the development of Area Forums. Highlighted below are the key issues relating to the operation of the Area Forums in Charnwood.
