MUGA and recreation ground – Mr Hunt still going to repair the fence. Mr Searle has put up sign. Ivy at Washford Recreation Ground – as Mr Eggar was not at meeting, we will wait until April to get an update. Mr Searle offered to do the work himself. Sand for sand stores – Sand has now been delivered to Roadwater and Washford. Clerk has invoiced WSC for the sand, has not received a cheque to date. Cllr Dewdney requested that the Clerk send a copy of the invoice to him. Clearing ground around shed at Washford - Mr Edwards has now completed the works. 1 Development at White Horse Inn – a new Planning application has been submitted by owners. List of Statutory and Non-Statutory functions – Cllr Dewdney gave a list to the Chairman over the phone. List of contact numbers for WSC – Clerk is still awaiting from Cllr Lillis Centre line of grass going down Ham Lane – Cllr Lawrence to speak to David Peake tomorrow.

It was proposed by Mr Hunt that the Clerk purchased the equipment, seconded by Mr Gannon and carried. 273/03: Highways and Footpaths - Dr Bridgeman had attended a meeting with representatives from Highways. A list of flooding issues in Washford will be put together and presented to Planning. The CCTV survey in Willow Grove has been completed. Dr Bridgeman will do an historic flood report following the gulley in Treborough causing a sinkhole. Highways will help to sort this out, making sure that the pipes are the right size and grilles working.

Mrs Smith reported that the lights at Hoburne caravan park in Blue Anchor were being left on all night. Clerk to contact Clerk at Carhampton. 274/03: Report about Minehead to Blue Anchor Beach Action Plan meeting - The coastal area had been split into various sections and analysed. Some were deemed to have a 15 life, some up to 50 depending on maintenance. The finance being allocated was based on the cost of losses and took into account the number of people being affected. The railway would be protected. There were currently no plans to support the business at the Blue Anchor Hotel. The road is a diversion route so should really be protected, but no guarantee was given. The caravan parks do not qualify for protection as caravans are mobile and depreciate in value. 275/03: Tree Inspections – Mrs Baker recommended that the Parish Council carry out an annual inspection. Clerk to contact Mrs Conley to ask for advice. 276/03: Planning 6/24/17/101 – Windwhistle Barn, Windwhistle Lane, Sticklepath, Proposed change of use and conversion of old redundant agricultural barn to a camping barn, - the WC facility for persons with the use of wheelchairs has now been indicated to be compliant for size (min 2.2m x 1.5m) however no wash-hand basins or waste water disposal is indicated, The internal WC enclosures will require adequate ventilation and lighting provision. A food preparation sink/wash sink has been indicated and diagrammatic discharge to a soakaway. This method is NOT compliant with building regulations. Should the Local Planning Authority be mindful to approve the application, conditions should be imposed for compliance with building regulations and environmental health regulations to prevent contamination and hygiene risk to multiple users of this proposed facility. 6/26/17/102 - Crown House, Sticklepath, Watchet, proposed rear 2 storey extension to house (to replace existing structure) - The proposed scheme would appear to comply with the policies relating to size, design and materials. The proposal has no adverse effect upon neighbouring properties. Old Cleeve Parish Council recommends approval of the scheme. 3/26/17/008 – The White Horse Inn, Washford, variation of conditions 2 (approved plans) of application 3/26/14/012 - Old Cleeve Parish Council objects strongly to this scheme. It has all the appearance of a cynical manipulation of the planning process. Permission was granted for a development in open countryside because it would improve a business by providing three commercial bed and breakfast units. The units were to be separate from each other: each had its own access, and there were no cooking facilities as the guests would eat at the White Horse. However, as constructed, the accommodation is a single dwelling with a kitchen and a utility room. The labels ‘communal’ and ‘staff’ on the plans do nothing to change this. 2 Detailed objections Our detailed objections are as follows: Open Countryside - The proposal is in open countryside outside development limits as defined in both the previous and current Local Plans. It is not situated either within a primary or secondary settlement. Planning History An earlier application for a two storey dwelling and garage, reference 3/26/10/007 was refused. The current application more closely resembles that application than it does the approved business scheme 3/26/14/012. - Old Cleeve Parish Council supported the stated aim of application 3/26/14/012 for the improvement of a local business but questioned the size of the provision as excessive. It did not match the norm of a three-unit motel type (room only and en-suite). The current application diverges even further from the standard construction for its stated purpose. Compliance - As this is a prefabricated timber frame ‘kit’ building it may be interpreted that the applicant had no intention of compliance with the planning scheme from the date of consent. Taking advantage of the fact that the Planning Authority and the Building Control body, in this instance an approved Inspector, do not communicate, the submitted scheme to the Building Inspectorate was for a detached three-bedroom dwelling. The criteria for construction compliance for the different uses would need to be known beforehand. Fire Risk -The original plans indicated provisions for adequate fire separation and sound insulation between the units. Drawing no. 1195/201 diagrammatically indicated this in basic form. Fire risk will be far greater in the revised construction with a central staircase and no separation between units. Concern is still raised over the proximity to the boundary in this respect. Flood Risk - The original flood risk statement indicated that resilient construction would be used in mitigation. Timber frame and timber clad construction does not meet this criterion, regardless of use. Design A single storey utility room extension has been added, not previously indicated. There are variations in the fenestration between the approved scheme and that constructed. Implications - Should the LPA agree to consent for this application as presented, the accommodation will have a far greater fire risk and be reclassified as a house in multiple occupation. The alternative is that the accommodation will not be ‘available’ at any time and occupied as a single residence contrary to the planning policies that formed the basis for the approval of scheme 3/26/14/012.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

  • Flooding in West Somerset: Overview of Local Risks and Ideas for Action
    FLOODING IN WEST SOMERSET: OVERVIEW OF LOCAL RISKS AND IDEAS FOR ACTION A discussion document by the West Somerset Flood Group June 2014 The West Somerset Flood Group WHO WE ARE We are a group of town and parish councils (and one flood group) actively working to reduce flood risk at local level. We have come together because we believe that the communities of West Somerset should have a voice in the current debate on managing future flood risk. We also see a benefit in providing a local forum for discussion and hope to include experts, local- authority officers and local landowners in our future activities. We are not experts on statutory duties, powers and funding, on the workings of local and national government or on climate change. We do, however, know a lot about the practicalities of working to protect our communities, we talk to both local people and experts, and we are aware of areas where current structures of responsibility and funding may not be working smoothly. We also have ideas for future action against flooding. We are directly helped in our work by the Environment Agency, Somerset County Council (Flood and Water Management team, Highways Department and Civil Contingencies Unit), West Somerset Council, Exmoor National Park Authority and the National Trust and are grateful for the support they give us. We also thank our County and District Councillors for listening to us and providing support and advice. Members: River Aller and Horner Water Community Flood Group, Dulverton TC, Minehead TC, Monksilver PC, Nettlecombe PC, Old Cleeve PC, Porlock PC, Stogursey PC, Williton PC For information please contact: Dr T Bridgeman, Rose Villa, Roadwater, Watchet, TA23 0QY, 01984 640996 [email protected] Front cover photograph: debris against Dulverton bridge over the River Barle (December 23 2012).

It was proposed and passed unanimously that the minutes of the meeting on 15th September were a reasonable record of the meeting. They were signed by the Chairman. 4. Public comments, questions or suggestions No member of the public was present. 5. Somerset County Council (SCC) Mr Trollope-Bellew told the council that he had resigned from the SCC Cabinet (Environment Portfolio-holder) but remains a County Councillor. He did not believe that for next year the roads could be kept to a satisfactory standard if the capital cost was to be cut by some 70%. It was intended to cut expenditure from £18M to £5M. This will mean that the expenditure will mainly go on A or B roads not on of the country lanes. The cuts in the road expenditure would almost certainly mean that road lighting would take longer to replace when it failed. He felt we should spend £24M on the roads. During the last year throughout the UK there had been more road deaths than if ten Jumbo jets had crashed.
