Oswestry Rural Parish Council Oswestry Rural Parish Council Minutes of the Meeting of the Parish Council held on Tuesday 30 October 2018, in Trefonen Village Hall starting at 7pm Present: Councillors: P Milner (Chair), J Barlow, P Broomby, A Brown, T Cheetham, J Davies, P Davies, S Jones, P May, R Milton, P Richardson, E Roberts-Jones Locum Clerk: P Smith Shropshire Councillor: J Barrow Members of the Public: 11 177/18 Public Participation Period Mrs L Gough and Mrs R Cragg spoke in relation to planning application 18/04207/FUL for a barn conversion at Ball Lane, Maesbury that was being considered later in the meeting. Mrs Gough lived adjacent to the application site and had concerns at the safety of the access onto Ball Lane due to poor visibility if more vehicles were using it. The access for the proposed dwelling was in shared ownership. Mrs Cragg reiterated the highway safety issues along this stretch of Ball Lane, and expressed surprise that no comments had been submitted by the Highways Authority. There were a number of inaccuracies in the application, which she had detailed in her objection on the Shropshire Council Planning Portal. She hoped that the application could be deferred for a site visit. Mr B Kimber spoke regarding the application to divert part of Rural Footpath 31C adjacent to Pear Tree Cottage, Treflach which was being considered later in the meeting. He had looked at the proposed diversion route and had concerns that it went up quite a steep slope that some walkers might have difficulty with. He questioned the need for a diversion. Mr M Andrew from the Trefonen Rural Protection Group spoke regarding the review of the Local Plan that was going to a meeting of Shropshire Council’s Cabinet next week. Trefonen had been designated as a Community Hub with potential for an additional 50 houses over the Plan period. The scale of the proposed development was not acceptable and TRPG were concerned that the results of the Parish Housing Needs Survey had been misinterpreted by Shropshire Council. It was requested that the Council discuss this matter in open session. 178/18 Apologies for absence: Cllrs M Jones and A Milner (accepted) 179/18 Minutes The minutes of the Meeting held on 25 September 2018 were approved and signed. 180/18 Disclosable Pecuniary Interests: a. Members were reminded that they are required to leave the room during the discussion and voting on matters in which they have a disclosable pecuniary interest, whether or not the interest is entered in the register of members’ interests maintained by the Monitoring Officer. Cllr P Milner declared a personal interest in agenda item 7 – Planning – as a member of Shropshire Council Planning Committee, but had not been involved in any of the applications on the agenda for consideration. Cllr P Richardson declared a personal interest in agenda item 7b)iii) – planning application 18/04207/FUL – as he knew the applicants. b. To consider any requests for Dispensation None Minutes 30th October 2018 1 of 5 c. Members were reminded that they are required to declare any acceptance of gifts and hospitality. Cllr P Broomby reported that she had attended the recent re-opening of the Royal Oak, Treflach. 181/18 Police Report No report had been received. Concerns were expressed that no report had been received from the Police for a number of months and the Clerk was asked to investigate why they were no longer attending. 182/18 Housing Needs Survey Cllr P Richardson reported that feedback/analysis of the Survey for all the Parish wards had now been received from ward Members. It was agreed that the information be uploaded onto the Parish website. The overwhelming response from residents who had completed the Survey was that they wanted the Parish to remain designated as open countryside. Further to the request made during the public participation period, it was noted that Shropshire Council’s Local Plan Review proposals were now in the public domain. Cllr Richardson reported that Trefonen had been designated as a ‘community hub’ despite the representations the Parish Council had made regarding the flawed methodology that had been used to ‘score’ settlements. The unfairness and inflexibility of the “one size fits all” approach had been made to Shropshire Council’s planners at the second meeting with Parish representatives, but the response had been that they could not change the methodology. It had been made clear that the Parish Council would object during the formal consultation period to the inclusion of Trefonen as a ‘community hub’. The consultation period on the preferred sites identified for housing and employment for the period until 2036 was due to start in late November. The position was noted. 183/18 Planning a.

Applications Received – to consider response i. Application to divert Oswestry Rural Footpath 31C (part) – Pear Tree Cottage, Treflach Shropshire Council’s Rights of Way Officer had sought the Parish Council’s views on this application. There was some discussion as to the need for the proposed diversion, although the applicants had stated it was in the interests of privacy. In the light of views expressed by a member of the public at the start of the meeting, it was agreed to comment that the diversion route was steeper than the existing path and may not be suitable for all walkers. It was also requested that any future such applications have a smaller scale location plan. ii. 18/04517/FUL Sunnymead, Crickheath, Oswestry SY10 8BP Erection of a single storey front extension It was resolved to support the application. (Cllr P Richardson left the room during discussion of the following application) iii. 18/04207/FUL Proposed Barn Conversion to East of Ball Lane, Maesbury, Oswestry Conversion of a traditional farm building to a detached residential dwelling and all associated works Members noted the objections that had been submitted to this application, and the comments that had been expressed during the public participation period. The principal concerns related to access to the proposed dwelling off a narrow lane with limited visibility, and there was concern that Shropshire Council’s Highways department had not commented on the application. It was noted that an historic application for a barn conversion had been refused, and that there also appeared to be some omissions from the application in relation to shared ownership of the frontage and drive. It was resolved to request that no decision be taken before an assessment of the access to/from the application site from Ball Lane has been made by Highways. It is further requested that the application be considered by the Planning Committee, and that the Committee undertake a site visit prior to making a decision. iv. 18/04604/FUL Maesbury Manor, Maesbury Marsh, Oswestry SY10 8JA Change of use of existing 11 bedroomed dwelling to mixed use as private dwelling house with an annex offering care facilities (C2/C3) It was felt that application would not have any adverse impact on the local area or highways, and might help create a small number of jobs. It was resolved to support the application. v. 18/04414/FUL 1 Brick Kiln Cottages, Racecourse Road, Oswestry Erection of part two storey part single storey extension(s). It was resolved to support the application. vi. 18/04648/FUL Little Underhill, Racecourse Road, Oswestry SY10 7PN Change of use from residential to holiday let. It was resolved to support the application. The Locum Clerk reported that three further planning applications had been received for consultation since the agenda was published. It was agreed to defer consideration of these applications until the next meeting, and to ask for an extension to the consultation period if necessary. Minutes 30th October 2018 3 of 6 184/18 Locum Clerk’s Report The Locum Clerk reported on a couple of road closures that had been notified by Shropshire Council – closure of the B4580 between the Racecourse and Llawnt on 18 November, and re-surfacing works on Shands Lane, Trefonen from 3-14 December. The local Ward Councillors had been sent the details. Further to the report at the last meeting, Shropshire Association of Local Councils (SALC) was pressing Shropshire Council for details of the new Environmental Maintenance Grant scheme that had been promised.

  • Oswestry & Beyond Heritage Open Days
    OSWESTRY & BEYOND HERITAGE OPEN DAYS 2020 Put on your wellies, grab your coat and step into the outdoors - our theme for 2020 is Hidden Nature. This year, we are turning our focus onto the natural world – and we’re asking you to join with us in celebrating our extraordinary natural heritage, from centuries-old trees to farmer’s fields steeped in history, from clifftop walks to urban oases and everything in between. Why Hidden Nature? Uncovering stories, sites, places and people that traditional history has overlooked or forgotten has always been at the very heart of Heritage Open Days. Our natural world, and the impact we have upon it, is as much a part of this as the rise of cities, famous battles and technological developments. In the face of climate change, modern development and other threats, now more than ever does nature need to be cherished and championed. That’s why this year we want to encourage HODs organisers, volunteers and visitors to celebrate nature, in its myriad forms, as part of the wider HODs festival. What is Hidden Nature? We want Hidden Nature to encompass the broadest possible spectrum of events, opening up areas of the countryside that aren’t normally accessible to the public and revealing the hidden history of not just our natural landscapes, but also gardens, green spaces, urban parks, orchards, vineyards, farms and forests. Nature isn’t just found in the great outdoors and our theme could also give you the opportunity to explore the Hidden Nature within our urban spaces and buildings - from the animals that live within our walls and under our feet to the origins of the timbers in our roofs, the possibilities to connect with our natural world are endless.

After almost six months fairly intensive research, I know more, but realize I have only begun to discover the history and stories of the area. Most people assured me there was very little history in the village – Caratacus’ last stand was very unlikely. Offa’s Dyke was now invisible. The canals, the quarry, and the railways were now defunct. But instead of very little history I found evidence of a long and fascinating past, in this region of mineral wealth on the border between the mountains and the plains. Perhaps every village in the country has a fertile history, once you begin to look for it. And perhaps some places have one ABOVE: Looking north towards event, a battle, or a building, that has Llanymynech Llanymynech Hill. great significance.
