Wood reported as follows:- Traffic in Victoria Road, Roche – He has received complaints they are having damage to their properties, due to sheer vibration on the road from lorries and larger vehicles, this is also why the drains are continually breaking away. He went out yesterday with a letter to people and went last night for replies before the Parish Council Meeting. Along the road 21 people want the humps removed and 5 people want them retained. Cormac Highways have been informed and are going out to take a serious look at them and meetings are being held to discuss this further due to the sheer number of people wanting them removed. It is the heaviest used B road through Cornwall at the moment. Councillor B. Higman advised his concerns were with the new development at Finsbury Rise and whether this could cause more speeding traffic along this stretch of road if the humps are removed. Cornwall Councillor J. Wood advised there would still be some form of traffic calming. PCSO S. Tibbles reported he had received concerns regarding the sheer traffic and crossing the road on the new estate next to the Cemetery and he has suggested she contacts Cornwall Councillor J. Wood and the Parish Council. Cornwall Councillor J. Wood advised this would need to be looked at along with the Doctors Surgery as well in the village at some point in the future. Glebe Land development – he could not get hold of the Bishop and he has written him a letter. He has lodged a complaint for this as an open space. The County Planners are against this which is good. He read a letter that had been sent to Bishop Tim from him with a copy of the application for the green space, of which a copy was passed to the Parish Clerk for retention. 2 Chairman thanked Cornwall Councillor J. Wood for attending the meeting and reporting to the Parish Council. 127/14 Public Forum:- Two members of the public queried when the planning applications would be considered as they wished to be in attendance for any questions if required.

Clerk Page 2 Min.94/14 Glebe Land Development:- Clerk reported a response had been received from Cornwall Council advising the current draft Local Plan does not identify specific areas for open space at this stage. This type of work is being undertaken for the Allocations Document for the main towns, which will follow the current Local Plan. In smaller towns and villages the Local Plan supports the development of Neighbourhood Plans to outline how their communities manage change. We provide some guidance on the Council’s web pages. As part of that process, areas can be designated for their environmental value. A further consideration would be to identiy the area as “village greens”. This is a specific legislative framework which allows communities to protect land which has a well-documentated community use. If you wish to persue this approach, the background information and forms can be found on the Council’s web site; search for “commons”. Copy correspondence had also been received from Matthew Taylor and an email from Reverend Ruth Murfitt with Section H Action: Clerk to inform Reverend Clerk Ruth of correspondence from Cornwall Councillor J.
