A weight limit exemption, once granted, is permanent until revoked. Hinchingbrooke Park Hospital - REP10-060 The Council has previously stated the importance of Highways England demonstrating in detailed design the adequate performance of these junctions. Highways England – REP10-046 In their note on participation in detailed design, Highways England sets out the role of local authorities and others. The Council welcomes the proposal for a Design Panel and Community Forums. The proposed “one stop shop” for consultation with both communities and the Council is also welcome to reduce the burden on the Council in consulting with communities in formulating its own response. However, the Council is concerned over the potential resource implications as participation in the process is not resourced, nor part of the Council’s Business Plan. The ability of the Council to respond on matters not related to its statutory functions, or outside its role as local highway authority, will therefore be limited.

  • 74 Owl End, Great Stukeley, Huntingdon, PE28
    DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE 22 JUNE 2020 Case No: 19/02611/FUL (FULL PLANNING APPLICATION) Proposal: ERECTION OF DETACHED DWELLING Location: 74 OWL END GREAT STUKELEY PE28 4AQ Applicant: MR RYAN AND DR LASMAN Grid Ref: 522256 275001 Date of Registration: 03.01.2020 Parish: THE STUKELEYS RECOMMENDATION - REFUSE Having regard to HDC’s current scheme of delegation this application should normally be determined under delegated powers. However, this application is referred to Development Management Committee at the discretion of the Planning Service Manager (Development Management) for a decision, for the following reasons: 1. During the lifetime of the application the Agent acting on behalf of the Applicant had good reason to believe the application was already called-in by a Ward Councillor; and 2. As the application had been advertised as a Departure, Planning Officers at some point during the lifetime of the application told the Agent this application would be referred to the Development Management Committee. As such, there is a reasonable expectation (on behalf of the Agent and their client), stemming from communication from HDC, that this application will be reported to DMC. 1. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND APPLICATION 1.1 This site is located to the rear of No. 76 Owl End. However, although the site appears to be fully within the curtilage of No.74, it is noted that the land where the dwelling is to be situated was partially paddock and partially the extended garden area of No. 74, and it would appear that the boundary has been relocated without planning permission within the last couple of years (a change of use from paddock to residential curtilage requires planning permission).

  • Abbots Ripton Minutes Annual Parish Meeting 4Th
    Abbots Ripton Parish Council ANNUAL PARISH MEETING 16/05/2021 Minutes Present: Cllr G Richardson (Chairman), Cllr J Leaver (Vice Chairman), Cllr S Brown, Cllr J Hemsley, Cllr D Brennan, Headteacher of Abbots Ripton Primary School, Revd Mandy Flaherty, Matthew Fido (Village Hall) Emily Moore – Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer to Abbots Ripton Parish Council. 1. Report from Abbots Ripton Primary School The following report was received from Abbots Ripton Primary School: Pupils - We currently have 102 pupils on roll at school, split into 4 classes. Number on Roll Van Gough Class Monet Class Kandinsky Class Picasso Class 102 17 Reception 28 26 31 Yr1x11 Yr3x17 Yr5x15 Yr2x17 Yr4x9 Yr6x16 The vast majority of our children (72% which is 73 out of 102) travel to us from outside of our catchment area. It is vital therefore that we continue to appeal to families outside of our catchment area if we are to remain a viable school. In Year 6 we feed to a vast number of secondary schools; St Peters is our natural feeder school as our catchment children would go there but with so many out of catchment children we feed to most local secondary schools. Our 16 current Year 6 children for example will be moving on to 6 different schools. Staffing We employ 17 members of staff; 7 teachers (some are part time and 1 is currently on maternity leave), 5 members of teaching support staff and 5 other support staff including office and catering staff and a cleaner. Unlike most schools, we do not have a caretaker.
