Minute AGENDA ITEMS Action

Chairman’s Welcome and Public Forum – the Chairman welcomed those present and advised of exits, local hazards, location of WCs, etc. The Chairman invited the members of the public to speak. Dr Sainsbury said he did not think the application to build a house at Archer Farm (Minute 211h/2017 refers) met with the requirements of the Local Plan. He pointed out the site was in the AONB. He also felt, with others, that the access was not suitable as the lane was narrow and unmade. Mrs Sainsbury supported her husband’s comments. Mrs Dora Wainwright commented she thought there shouldn’t be further development down into the valley. Mr Tony Wainwright added his agreement and said that in his opinion further development into the valley was inappropriate and would set a precedent. Mrs Vernon and her daughter were present to support their application to build a dwelling on land NW of Trecreege Farm (Minute 211g/2017 refers). This was for an agricultural dwelling. Mrs Penny Kirkman supported the proposition in principle but thought the site was too high and would cause harm to the AONB. Mrs Jenny Railton added access was poor, the track over her land was unmade and would not sustain heavy use. These two members of the public were against this application as they believed it to be too far from the main farm and the site is in an AONB.
